It seems like everything in the transportation industry is becoming intertwined and even trying to pigeon hole a specific service like expedite with a narrow definition is nearly impossible. But, my definition of expedited freight is freight that requires: Nonstop, dock to dock, exclusive use...

I'm not sure what the OP is looking for but I consider the above load time critical. Ford probably needed this stuff first thing Monday morning. An LTL carrier could have gotten it there Monday for much less money, but not first thing Monday morning.

I just read on an internet expedite forum that a guy said tristates is filing for bankruptcy protection. This guy was driving a peterbilt semi that said he is leased to tristates. I'm not sure if this is Tri-State Expedited out of Millbury, OH, Tri-State Motor Transit, out of Joplin, MO or...

I find it odd that you would post the above quote. I'm a little late to this ATeam, FedEx, TVal etc stuff. I've been too busy going broke for another company. But a quick perusal shows at least 3 or 4 threads dedicated to this subject. A few less threads than the Nissan cargo van though...

Both my past and current vans came from the factory painted Summit White. I would quit washing them in October letting the dirt accumulate. The bottom half would become a dark gray color gradually fading to a lighter gray near the top. Similar in appearance to an Earl Sheib custom paint job...

They find it on the internet; blogs, forums and E-mails. I get 40% of my stupid stuff from the internet. The other 60% I make up.

Not necessarily. This time of year the prevailing winds are generally blowing from south to north. While your $1.70/mile may appear cheap to some smartass Yank passing you going in the opposite direction but you're the one with the tailwind. You can whistle Dixie all the way to the mattress...

You may want to volunteer for another tour rather than do battle with Panther over your old rate. The good news is Panther is paying all deadhead miles to the shipper. The current rate for vans is .24/mile. The not so good news is it appears they are funding it with f.s.c. monies.

Great video! I'll be looking for a Sprinter shakin' down the highway. Reminds me of John Candy playing dashboard piano to "Mess Around".

Meadow Haggard and Red Divine are a couple of my favs also. I like Tom Gate's version of Red Divine's Phantom Of the Opera 309. Got to add Billy Joe Slather, Bruce Willis and the North Dakota Playboys to the list.

If you need an advance just to put fuel in a van, I don't think it will get better.

Iffin' it was me and I wasn't happy with the miles, I'd switch to kilometers, eh!

I agree. I see it all the time with van drivers when I do a swap.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TJ! Will you be posting any birthday celebration videos?

Or PrePass.

He posted some still pics on KARE 11's (local tv) website and he said two were shown on the 5:00 pm news. It was a small tornado but apparently did some damage.

You could then be eligible for all sorts of wonderful government programs.

Are you also unhappy with the money or just the miles? Perhaps both?
