    advantages and disadvantages of staying under 26,000 pounds

    I cant say every expedite company requires it, just know they do. But you know, XPO is a one of a kind company...and not saying that in a good way.

    What expedite company do you consider.....

    Being the best choice? Currently on with Xpo, but I'm sitting in Louisville, Kentucky with no load. The truck I drive is under cdl, so I can only carry 8500#. Just want ideas to possibly bring up to the boss, unless they (XPO) somehow change.

    I've had to run into the woods a few times, but had no access to a bathroom...sometimes you just gotta go and can't hold it. I won't eat that much chicken again!

    Do I need to log.....

    I have short and long form. Have to have that in most expedite jobs. I was just wondering because you don't have to log if you can prove your home base is within the 100 - 150 miles...unless that has changed.
