I'm shipping several dozen units a month into Afghanistan. I now only ship air freight because so much shit was getting stolen in Pakistan off the trucks.

Many times my freight bill is more than my equipment cost.

Which shows another example of waste. We have hundreds of C141's and C5's, why are we shipping so much shit on DHL???
