Did you know that by idling a vehicle you are causing 2x more damage to the engine's internal components as opposed to the vehicle being in motion? This can increase maintenance costs by at least $2,000 per year, according to the American Trucking Associations. #NoIdle  #truckingefficiency  #fleetmanagement  #reduceidletime  #costsavings #trucking  #optimizeoperations  #logistics #transportation

Trucking companies and drivers should always be prepared for DOT Week and follow rules all year round, not just during Blitz Week. However, some companies parked their trucks this week to avoid fines and strict inspections. But parked trucks don’t make money, which is challenging in today’s tough market. I'm really curious: How can they afford these losses? Click Logistics #shipwithclick #dotweek #logistics #shipping #transportation

PSA: I’m all for negotiating and asking for a rate that you feel you are worth. I will never knock a carrier for calling on a spot load and asking if I can work on the rate, of course I can, how much do you need? But if you call on a box truck load, with a box truck, on a lane that I can get a dry van for $1550 and ask me for $1900… I am going to hang up on you. Do you really think I have that much money to move a box truck load??? To add to that, it’s always 3rd party dispatchers. Not only are you wasting my time, but you are wasting your time, and more important than that, you are doing a disservice to the driver you are dispatching for. Y’all are free to disagree, but this drives me crazy. #ShipSentry #WeGuardYourFreight
