Always heard good things about Load-1. Wonder what % of their overall freight falls into Sprinter Van category. Most other carriers have had a freeze on adding any.

Link below on an article about a protest planned. I recall a protest a number of years ago over fuel that generated some media buzz, but didn't amount to anything. I don't really expect this one to be different, but what do you all think? ELD mandate protest efforts set to stage October 3

They were owned by Landstar when XPO bought them. Scott Taylor is the guy that founded them. I don't know what drives your opinion about him, but I'd guess he's probably done okay since selling it off.

He never said that it would be one big acquisition. It could be several smaller ones. I wouldn't be surprised if it is Ceva. They were mentioned in an article a few months ago about being eyed by Geodis.

"what difference does it make"

Tons of freight headed for Mexico going through there. Not much comes back. Rates coming back out of Laredo are cheap because of the imbalance. Probably want to make sure you're making enough per mile on the way down to account for that.

Bolt bought DSE Services Prestige Delivery was bought by Lasership

I was hoping the new venue might be Cobo Hall - will give Lexington a shot though

I guess the kitty litter part makes sense with it being a Panther driver

That is the bigger piece of it for the expedite industry imo.

There is another website - expeditersnetwork.com that appears to also be the same folks. If you scroll down it references "Expediters Online Forum"

The phone # listed on that website (260-483-1800) is the same # that is listed on the FMCSA website for All Types Expediting. I seem to recall some other threads on here about that company.

I would also make sure that the 3PL is okay with you double brokering their freight. Since the 3PL is brokering it already, I guess it would be triple brokered.

I agree with you TN Hawk---In the last decade NLM went from being privately held, to being part of Landstar and then to being part of XPO. I'm sure there have been a couple of changes since this thread was started.

I'll be there - looking forward to it.

That's not quite right. Expeditors does handle Chrysler expedites, but they've had it much longer than a year ago. It was more like 2006 or 2007. Also, when NLM did handle Chrysler, it wasn't directly. Menlo was the contracted provider and they subbed the expedite management out to NLM.

I see on the FMCSA website that Ceva's forwarding authority was revoked.:eek:

I've heard that they started up their own trucking division, but I don't have any feedback on em.

Spring is here! Saw someone from EO driving right by the stadium.

I have one stoplight in particular that I seem to get stuck at every time. I've been wondering how much of my life has been spent there.:(
