    WNY Expediting... Drive first, or buy Sprinter?

    I saw 90cents on GL for one of the loads that actually had a rate posted. Mind you, that was the "Try It" link and not actually subscribing. I checked a couple of others but none actually showed rates. I saw one that was $1.03/mile as well earlier. But in general what is the going average rate...

    WNY Expediting... Drive first, or buy Sprinter?

    Well the insurance part is easy. Buying it, well again assuming I can get decent contracts/runs (just saw on on a loadboard for a Cargo van to MI paying 90.6cpm. Low side I'm guessing, plus deadheading, but then there's also some paying over $1/mile. Financing will clearly be key here As for me...

    WNY Expediting... Drive first, or buy Sprinter?

    So pretty much buy it, insure it, and plate it in a Corp name and get some contracts? Sounds a little too easy... Or what am I missing?

    WNY Expediting... Drive first, or buy Sprinter?

    An American not doing interstate loads in Canada on a Canadian vehicle I get (no status). Same thing with a Canadian doing interstate loads in the States on an American plated vehicle. In terms of residency, that's only a Canadian thing, where the "coles notes" version of the regs is "A...

    WNY Expediting... Drive first, or buy Sprinter?

    Well the biggest thing I was wondering was interporting, ie. domestic loads within Canada with a US plated vehicle, or vice versa. As for legal status, well I can work in both countries legally (dual), so not an issue there. But I know with TTs and I'm guessing straight trucks, and quite...

    WNY Expediting... Drive first, or buy Sprinter?

    Haha yes one of... them... Tractor would be good but for practicality reasons (for me) I'm looking towards a Sprinter. Reason for Upstate NY vs Ontario is most boards do show lots of expedited freight within the US, and I haven't seen as much in Canada (or maybe not as much talk about expedited...

    WNY Expediting... Drive first, or buy Sprinter?

    Sounds good. I'm actually a little north of Buffalo (near Hamilton Ontario), hence the question about being based out of Ontario vs Upstate NY. Only issue of course with an Ontario plated vehicle would be no domestic US-US work, but again depends on what pays better/provides more miles. In...

    WNY Expediting... Drive first, or buy Sprinter?

    And of course a little more after reading a bit. I noticed a "leased to multiple carriers" thread. So how does that work? I was under the impression (at least with 53'ers) that if you're leased to one carrier that's it, unless you're running your own authorities?

    WNY Expediting... Drive first, or buy Sprinter?

    I figured this is the best place to ask, since I've been lurking long enough. What would be more beneficial, driving a sprinter (how much per mile? Layovers?) or purchasing one and signing on with Fedex or something? Or the third option of course, purchase and get my own authorities...
