"what difference does it make"

Tons of freight headed for Mexico going through there. Not much comes back. Rates coming back out of Laredo are cheap because of the imbalance. Probably want to make sure you're making enough per mile on the way down to account for that.

Bolt bought DSE Services Prestige Delivery was bought by Lasership

I was hoping the new venue might be Cobo Hall - will give Lexington a shot though

I guess the kitty litter part makes sense with it being a Panther driver

That is the bigger piece of it for the expedite industry imo.

There is another website - expeditersnetwork.com that appears to also be the same folks. If you scroll down it references "Expediters Online Forum"

The phone # listed on that website (260-483-1800) is the same # that is listed on the FMCSA website for All Types Expediting. I seem to recall some other threads on here about that company.

I would also make sure that the 3PL is okay with you double brokering their freight. Since the 3PL is brokering it already, I guess it would be triple brokered.

Spring is here! Saw someone from EO driving right by the stadium.

I have one stoplight in particular that I seem to get stuck at every time. I've been wondering how much of my life has been spent there.:(

As a public service announcement: Max appears to have resurfaced at a company called Logistic Solutions.

Never heard of em. The old ops manager at Jung Express was last name of Salas. I wonder if he started his own company. At any rate, SAFER website shows the MCS 150 form hasn't been updated since 2006. Unsafe Driving BASIC at 98%, which is not good.

Yeah, I've heard of them. Variety Wholesale was the ground division of an airfreight forwarder called Variety Logistics out of Clinton Township. The owner sold it back to the guy they bought it from back in the day. I see on the Safer website that Variety Wholesale (plymouth, MI) is d.b.a...
