    own authority

    Do you go into Canada? The LEA Agent in Canada needs trucks that will take their freight into Canada. They also have Intra US loads so keep in touch with YXU,TOL,CLT & AGS. If you can keep busy utlizing those 4 Agents, you will be successful. Using any other Agent is a bonus. Trust me when I say...

    own authority

    With having 1 truck on the road & it being a "b" unit, the benefits of having your own authorities are really non existant. The hassle outweighs the benefits.

    TST EXPIDITED SERVICES?

    TST no longer can handle 60-100 shipments per day. My understanding is GM in St Catharines is the only facility that TST still services directly. PantherII is handling most of the GM loads based solely on their extremely low rates.

If you stop & think about the system Landstar Express America uses, which is NO FORCED DISPATCH & leaves the decision to accept the load up to you, who is going to do the loads none of the Trucks want?? Thats right...
