We came so close to Canada and the US finalizing a trade deal. Unlike horseshoes close does not count or help either countries economy. The below was pasted by a US economist, this was to show the real trade advantage the US had. Politicians who are to represent "We the People" on both side of the border are certainly not doing this IMO. Canada politicians stated POTUS is taxing his own people. CDN government after break down are now taxing Canadians as they implement tariffs. Unless both governments get back to the table, make a deal for the people, we the people will pay the price. Thoughts? The US would actually be a surplus If you remove fuel and hydro from trade between Canada and the US, the trade deficit for the US would actually be a surplus. In 2023, the US recorded a trade deficit of $36 billion with Canada, but when you exclude energy exports, the surplus is approximately $85 billion. This indicates that the US has a significant advantage in the trade relationship, particularly in services, which has a surplus with Canada.

I had AI create a podcast based on a sales guide I have been using for years. Feel free to take a listen

Everyone has to start somewhere! Starting a Freight Logistics business from nothing whether that’s a Carrier, Broker or another link in the supply chain like warehousing is not easy. I just started advertising my newly formed Gateway Crate and Freight business when I got my first Crating order back in 2012 from a mining company needing 30 crates. I had only a few tools and my past industry experience. Like many Entrepreneurs I had to find a way to fulfill this order for my first client! I threw a pizza party for a bunch of my friends at my house who came over and helped me build all these crates in my garage! I’m sure you have read about the companies that started with pizza and friends in a garage: Microsoft Apple Amazon And Gateway Crate and Freight Here are pics of us working on that first order in my garage. You got to start somewhere. lol Everyone have a Freight Day #papafreight

Looking for advice on load boards for sprinter loads. My MC just was approved after 4 months..

They lose money because they can't see where it's leaking. Over the last few months, I built ContractorOS — Executive Revenue, an operating system designed for commercial contractors, trucking operators, and construction leadership teams who need real-time visibility into revenue, margins, cash flow, and project performance. What it does: ✅ ASC 606 Revenue Recognition & WIP Tracking ✅ Overbilling / Underbilling Detection ✅ AIA G702 & G703 Progress Billing Automation ✅ Change Order & Margin Recovery Management ✅ Bid Pipeline & Estimating Workflow ✅ CFO-Level Profitability Stress Testing ✅ Backlog, Retainage & Cash Flow Monitoring Imagine opening one dashboard and instantly seeing: - Which projects are losing margin - Which change orders are still pending approval - How much revenue can actually be recognized this month - Where retainage is impacting cash flow - The true profitability of your backlog For trucking and contractor businesses operating on thin margins, visibility isn't a luxury—it's survival. The goal is simple: Turn project data into executive decisions before profits disappear. I'm currently looking for contractor, construction, logistics, and trucking operators willing to provide feedback on the platform. What is the biggest operational challenge you face today—cash flow, billing, change orders, estimating, or project profitability? I'd love to hear your thoughts below.
