    Canada Canadian Expediter Nearly Strangled....

    I've peved off so many people before getting allowed to unload 1st. Once in Dallas there was a 15hour waiting list to unload and they pulled a truck out of a dock so I could get in - all it takes is the word "Expediter" and there ussally is no line that you have to wait in except for customs.

    You have $170,000 for truck...

    Expediting trucks don't loose value as fast as say a regular long haul truck just based on the miles. As a team in long haul we would do 6-7k a week, at panther I only did 50k in 5 months. I'm not even sure if the truck will cost 170k, but I want to make sure that I can take every load that I...

    Contract Time

    Contact a lawyer! One thing make sure you put something in there that protects the driver, i.e. you go belly up and loose the truck - make sure he doesnt loose all the money he has put into it.
