    How Did You Discover Expediting ?

    I was working as a courier, going to NYC, when my boss hired a guy with a Sprinter. This gentleman was an expediter, trying to get a little work during the winter slowdown.

    Why does a Sprinter put me to sleep

    I can tell you why rates are so low. Its not fuel.
