Re: changes in group 43 Truck rental - are you F'ing kidding - Lawson would be nuts to jump into that sinking ship. Who's he going to pick to help him run it ?? Hell - Mike's a great guy but he himself has no trucking experience - how's he going to run things - like the car side ?? Let's get something straight here - the truck rental side is nothing - and I mean NOTHING - like the car rental side. 2pm count - forget it. The insurance scam - HA ! Over-booking - forget it. Trying to pass a 15'er off as a 24'er - yeah right - the BM will find himself gettin an ass-whipping by the truckers waiting to pick up their unit. News flash - Jiffy Lube can't do oil changes - you have to have DOT & FHWA inspections done by certified MP's - transport drivers need to have CDL's - MPs must also be brake certified - and maintenance work in Florida must meet FDOT compliance - MP's in Florida must also carry an ACORD Insur cert. Factor in perishable merchandise (ECRAP is only doing commercial rentals) - load swaps and non-union lumpers - and towing providers lotting and locking down a loaded customer's unit because they don't want to get stuck with an $800 tow-bill at 2 am because an account wasn't set up - Good Luck ECRAP. If any of you don't know what I'm talking about - that's my point. The average age in the trucking industry is 38, and in management its 48 - this means the avg trucking employee is carrying 25 to 30 years experience - that's more experience than the average age of an ECRAP employee. |
