Here's an option: .

Again you must define "expedite". That $3.4 billion includes TL and LTL carriers' "expedite" service, which I consider to be outside the scope of my narrower definition.

Speed and quickness are part of exclusive use. You can't honestly sell dock to dock service if you are picking up other customer's freight also. If you pick up a 1000 pound skid from a customer and have a delivery time based on 47 mph and go to another customer to pick up another 1000 pound...

WORST. PUN. EVER. :rolleyes: I laughed! Not quite the floor thing, but funny.

The picture of the pork cheek in the local harvest link looks delicious! I did a quick perusal of the article and found no mention of "cutlet". I did enjoy 2 walleye cheeks this past spring, about the size of a 50 center. Up here in Minnesota we call them cheeks, ya. What's the latest on the...

Certainly could happen before Obama leaves office, unless Blogo should die before then.

If a shipper is paying top dollar for exclusive use then he should be able to throw a seal on the truck and not worry about some moron at your next pickup spearing his freight with a forklift tine. Or another shipment containing a 55 gallon drum of urine samples from a drug testing consortium...

Yes, much better! Buy one today.

As Dakota indicated, yes there are. But there are probably more opportunities that do require a CDL. Why limit yourself? Is there a particular reason why you are looking at companies that don't require a CDL?

Why not start your research by checking out the Unicell website: UNICELL This should enable you to decide exactly what type Unicell body meets your needs. Then you can ask more detailed questions here. Also this link could prove enlightening...

Ooooooooooh, excuse me for bringing this thread back on topic!

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...

NPR Nippon People's Rig. NPR Nippon Public Radio.

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.

The answers in this thread vary by company and contract. The only way you can be sure is to read and understand the contract before you sign.

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...
