    carrier decals on vans and sprinter

    If we decal our vans up with company logo's and dot #s, etc., do you think you will be watched a little more by d.o.t officers cruising up and the interstates. We've just never ran decals trying to stay under the radar, but if you think it will have no effect on anything then we'll starting...

    factoring

    Last year my fleet consisted of about 10 trucks and then over a couple of months period i added about 4 more trucks. Business was great and we were covering a lot more loads but the problem was getting paid quick enough to cover payroll. I do a lot of business off of "the load boards" and a...

    Nations Express will be new ownership

    My oldest invoice with them is only 9 months old. I have hated turning down loads from them over the past several months, because they are great to deal with, but you can't keep doing charity work. Maybe this will get them back on track.(cuz, i need to get paid!)

    Backhaul Websites for Cargo Vans/LTL???

    Anything other than gps, active aero, and nlm are all truckload load boards. They are pretty much all the same. Weed thru 1,000 ltl loads to find one going back toward home for $.20-$.50cpm, not to much lower than the other expedite load boards previously mentioned, these days.

    I know an o/o running for transtewart right now and for the past couple of months he has been getting between $.80-$90cpm with fsc. I have told this person that he is out of his mind.
