    My question in regards to the 3 mil excess policy for the motor carrier. How did the broker even get the freight if that was a requirement by the shipper? I have yet to this day to found a shipper that would allow the broker to beat to a different drum then the carrier.

    • @larryhurt7843
      @larryhurt7843 День тому

      Great question. I don't believe it's intentional. However, we do see some discrepancies on motor carrier agreements with regards to broker vs. carrier limits. We also recognize there are times shippers will make exceptions for longstanding relationships with both brokers and carriers depending on the situation.. Also, it's good to note for a broker to get a 2 million excess contingent Auto Liability policy it would generally cost around 10k-20k in annual premiums. However, for a motor carrier to get a 2 mil excess policy the price could double or even triple the price.

    The reason you generally see the wrong axles lifted is the same reason there's so many basic trailers out there. Not enough people think for themselves, they count solely on the dealer for their decisions. 95% of the dealers only have experience with "I want one like my buddy has" type of people (in my field, I can only think of one dealer in the country that warrants allowing any input on trailer configuration). That is fine to fill numbers for run of the mill trailers but will never result in any innovation. I'm not in their field but I'd lift the rear axle on any trailer even if it didn't ride better. Why in the world would anyone want to make it more difficult to corner when empty than loaded! Nice to see other companies out there doing things for a reason. Good job ERM!

These guys sold a couple big pieces of their business (Truck Stop and Petroleum division) obviously they have the money for Electric tarps. The only people who don’t like electric tarps are those who don’t have to deal with a crank tarp. And those who have poor maintenance. With electric tarps your tarp last longer.
