Re: Long time wannabe first time newbie

What I find different and interesting about Straight Shot Express is their franchise concept. They have a terminal in St. Paul that I believe is corporate owned and operated. The franchise business model could accelerate their growth. It could also lead to franchise/agents sharing loads for a percentage. A franchise/ agent in one part of the country could book a load and put it on another franchise/agent's truck to get that truck back home. Some what similar to household goods agents.

If their system gets big enough it might be a nice fit for solo's in a truck dealing with H.O.S. regs to have a system of terminals available.
