EGL

[C5BILL]

Any comments out there about EGL?

 

[Glen Rice]

What are you after? What type of equipment are you wanting to run? Could use a little guidance here. Thanks for your inquire.

 

[C5BILL]

Trying to determine what kind or runs they generally have available for cargo vans. From the little information I can gather, it appears as though they might offer a good chance for more home time.

Send a PM to GEO,he operates for them out of Norfolk VA.

EGL is not a traditional OTR expedite company.
They are air freight forwarders. I believe that most of their runs are local routes.
Now, they might do some over the road expediting. I don't believe that is their main focus though.

RobA is correct. I did some work several years ago in Houston for them and they ran local and some 2 and 300 mile trips. I had recieved loads from them but never physically drove for them.

to give you idea of what egl is like
would be like fedex group all roll in to one carrier
i run a 2500 sprinter local in hampton roads area and have
a run that i do 3 times a day and do really well at it with a van
before van had a 16 ft box and did well to
egl is for me 90 per cent local and 10 precent over the road
why go out of town when you can make same amount of money running
local

Geo:

Thanks for the info. I am meeting with an EGL rep in Cleveland on Friday. I hope it goes well as this seems very interesting.

Thanks to all for your input!
