Episode description

This talk with Mark and Mitch White of 25-truck fleet Old Time Express ranges over the company's transition to electronic logs a few years back now, made in part to help get it out of a Conditional rating purgatory. It hasn’t all been without its bumps in the road, as you’ll hear in the conversation. But with focus on improving rates with customers, expanding the use of pre-loaded trailers on either end of drivers’ round trips where possible, and the close attention to collecting detention and adjusting hourly rates and policies with shipper customers and brokers, Mark White believes Old Time has at this point worked out the ELD kinks. More on the subject of where rates may go after the ELD mandate here, too.
