Kansas City to Oklahoma City via New Mexico?

You work for a long time with a client. You quote something. You convince them it’s the right thing to do. You get an order. You build it. You know there’s a tight delivery timeframe. You pick a carrier and cross your fingers. You ship it. You hold your breath.

What should have taken one day will end up taking four because, well, because freight companies are hell incarnate. They’re all permanent residents, Satan’s ambassadors, if you will, placed here among the living to remind us to get right and fear the Lord…

Just for the record, the R&L, in R&L Carriers, stands for Really Late.
