    Carriers' view on van windows

    Just remember this: The more window, the harder to insulate. The more window, the harder to secure. Covered up or not, that window can be broken and the van then compromised.

    Midwest Courier Il

    I don't know them at all, so I cannot say either way, but as for searching threads on this forum, there are no others referring to this company in question.

    UPS.....We Have A Problem.....

    I was under the impression that the package had already flown from Sanas to Dubai, but there was a lot of obscure things posted in the beginning.

    Well, they both weren't flying on UPS. The Dubai package was shipped FEDEX. Bomb Materials From Yemen Found on Way to Jewish Places of Worship in Chicago - FoxNews.com

    Midwest Courier Il

    Dynamite: Are you referring to Midwest Courier, Inc. from Elk Grove Village, Midwest Courier, Inc or are you referring to Midwest Expediting, which is owned by O' Hare Logistics, as is All-Types and a few others?

    SmartPhone Survey

    Sorry Lawrence, You left out the only one that made it into the top 5 best made phones, the Blackberry. (Sorry iPhone.) Been using one for two years now. It has been indispensable to my business.

    the cargo van expediter

    I have seen loads offered at higher than 70mph. Long ones too. Those are usually conjured by a shipper's need time and an ignorant sales worm. Your carrier decides if they want to guarantee that kind of nonsense or not. Now, at a 45 mph average, I have no problem offering a 1000 miler to a...

    Has anybody seen this van?

    Took the words right out of my mouth. I wonder how it would hold up over time. That thing isn't riding on air.

    the cargo van expediter

    Unless you run for a carrier that has 10 vans sitting in every major city in America, this is not the case. Having a van sitting there waiting for a possible customer does no good to the carrier. I don't usually book a load (unless I have authority to broker it) without having a vehicle...

    Which Straight Truck?

    The ones that you would normally see pulling a 53 are the class 8 trucks. (I do see an occasional FL-70 pulling a trailer around town though.) You are right on the T800. With Frtl it the Century, Cascadia, XL classic and such. I have a Freightliner FLD w/ a 22ft box, 4000 lbs liftgate and a...

    expedite freight cost

    In this case, Fedex Express is Custom Critical's customer, and yet all you saw is the bill to Fedex Express's customer? Doesn't sound like a breach of contract to me, unless Custom Critical was unwilling to show you what they charged Express, or even Fedex Freight for that matter. Just because...

    expedite freight cost

    Greg, It wasn't just a inter-divisional move, you did a "brokered" load. Fedex Express, MC066562-B, to the carrier, Fedex Custom Critical, MC141898. While you did see a customer invoice from Fedex Express, the was no doubt an invoice that Custom Critical sent to Memphis, of which you got a...

    Best place for authority help?

    The new Entrant audit is the freebee. It was a piece of cake. They are nice, informative and very helpful. Most, if not all of these are done by a contracted service, not FMCSA themselves. They don't expect you to know it all. If there is anything you haven't done to their liking (barring...

    Just what is the Criteria....

    Don't know anything about Landshark, except I saw their trucks posted on the Alliance. They went into business at the beginning of May. Their broker bond was canceled as of 9/13/2010 and their insurance was cancelled on 7/28/2010, and yet their authority is still showing as active for both. I...
