Is on demand cargo dead?

regardless of how bad things get, the mail will always have to move. And there will always be someone who absolutely positively has to have something there 5 minutes ago. The big box movers can cover a great deal of the market but they can't be everywhere at once. On demand cargo is a necessity for filling in the gaps that UPS and FedEx can't get to.

We all know it has been slow, but if the economy ever turns around or if the auto industry gets the bail out i think it will pick up again. The question is how many operators can stay in business until then?

It will never be what it once was.

I first started doing it in the mid 80's, and out by 94.
It was really cooking back then. Now, I really see very little evidence of it.

I think there will always be a market for time critical parts. I think at the moment though most of that work is being done with a guy in a King Air or MU2 with an couple critical items rather than a Falcon 20 full of nuts and bolts.

Start a fractional. "Bring your own seating" and offer a nice discount.

This guy in an MU2 is extremely unbusy. Not dead, but let's say "in critical condition and time to call the next of kin."

It's my week off so it should very busy until next monday.

It looks like YIP had some auto parts passing through today.
