    Who's got the word on Nations Express?

    I'm not a Nations Express fan by any means, but it is funny how a company is determined to suck, merely because the market won't support them any longer. Ask around. It's not just nations that is paying Sprinters that rate. It's not just Nations that has trucks sitting around either...

    Independant Expeditor

    IAC stands for Indirect Air Carrier. An example would be a freight forwarder, that didn't get in on the whole "known shipper" thing, back in the day. He would not need to be an IAC. The TSA would recognize him as an agent of an IAC. Talk to your IAC customers. They will sponsor you, and...

    factoring

    15-25 percent? Oh please. The norm is 3-5%, if you must. I keep an account with one for the sundry LTL loads from brokers I don't know or normally don't deal with. The better factoring companies offer incentives that offset the cost of factoring, ie. funds dumped to fuel cards that offer...

    Do You Have An iPhone?

    I do a lot of business thru my Blackberry. Frees me up from just being anchored to the laptop on the road, or at home for that matter.

    Help

    Re: Help Not dot or MC numbers Hey CS, Throw me a name. If they are a carrier as well, the brokerage is sometimes incorporated separately, and uses a different MC. All State is one example I can think of that may not be immediately found. So is Tri-State.

    National Coming Out Night

    Now see, today I learned something new. Maybe Orlando will start having something similar. I really could use a plasma TV in my living room. Thanks for the tip, Moot.

    National Coming Out Night

    Is that anything like National "Coming Out" Day? I think Disney has some festivities, as does the cities of San Francisco, West Hollywood, and Key West.

    Sleepers

    Hey Roadking. I've looked over all of the posts, but still haven't seen this mentioned: If you get a class 8 truck with the integrated factory sleeper, such as a Freightliner w/ a 70" condo, you won't have near the problems of leaking, because the sleeper and cab are all one piece. Plus, you...

    Question for Straight Truck O/O

    I would wholeheartedly agree with this statement. While it will still be your responsibility to run legal, many smaller carriers may not have the same restrictions as a large one, ie. 550 mile limit for solo runs. With a larger carrier, the computer may cut you off from that 551 mile run that...

    The Recession is Over! Now What?

    What? Newsweek just published a front page deal that the recession is over! It isn't? You mean we can"t trust Newsweek to tell us the truth? What about all of those issues with the Prez on the cover?

    3, 4, or 5 skids

    Hey Danny. Good to see you back. Still in Flint? Only the customer base of your carrier can determine freight opportunities. Freight forwarder/cartage company and you could kick some serious tail and be home at night most days. Most stuff is fairly light. I did great before everything...
