Quote: I don't blame VFN for using a specific carrier - its smart business. They're shipping something that has potential for damage so they deal with someone they trust to handle the package properly. They probably get a "preferred rate" but no "kickback". And the pickups are scheduled meaning there is no interuption to their normal routine. Having different carriers show up any time they please and not knowing how to handle the product is just a PITA.
JUST to quote your original post ....so you can't add or change anything AGAIN ...
And I will comment DIRECTLY on each point you make ...
SMART business ? ....... is to do what the customer desires. And to save the customer money if you can.
Potential damage ? .... any truck line that has survived this economy is a good operation. And they all self-insure for damage.
NO kickbacks ? .... bull (no fan)
Interruption to their routine ? .... FIDDLEsticks.. then GET OUT of the shipping-parts by truck freight business ...
(no fan)
