    Real Expediters Do NOT Use GPS...

    I have the Rand McNally GPS and DeLorme mapping on the laptop ..... while the GPS is great for enoute calculations, with the DeLorme I can simply click and say, "I want to go this other way", and it compensates, the GPS says, "Nah, I like this way better sucker, you have NO options!" :eek:

    Brokers/expediters in the Southwest ?

    Best answer I give you Steve is, no population, no industry, no expediting .. the southwest US is not known for an abundance of manufacturing. Even the products from Mexico primarly use the crossings in Texas and California. (Unless ya wanna haul produce)

    Pulling a really small camper

    Get the expediter card from either Pilot/Flying J or TA/Petro ..gas earns shower credits, but you have to ask them to MANUALLY add the points, as swiping the crad out front will not make it happen.

    Pulling a really small camper

    I responded in your other thread also ... it may involve new cdl licenese, new insurance requirements, and as mentioned, it may be forbidden by the carrier. Overall, probably not a good idea.

    new hot shot venture

    A couple of thoughts here .... I was leased to Hot Shot Express for many years. You can purchase a good used class 8 truck for the same money you can buy a pickup, the tractor will run millions of miles, that pick up truck will not! Second, if you are satisfied that 30' is all you need...
