    Have You Heard of XPO Logistics, Inc.? If not, you soon will.

    I do not see how flat rate FSC will scare away O/O from choosing XPO, (opening here a cans of warms). there are about 5 ways to calculate flat FSC, i do not know which one they use. but in my book, the flat rate FSC is as legit as it can be. it costs the same on fuel to run a load...

    The other hidden problem, is that the new mandate will NOT help saving life on the roads, unless the trucker is too stupid to drive, which is why the ATA support this. you see, with this new rule we are leading the world when it's comes to breaking distance, but we are plain last with...
