    Do most companies have their drivers bid against each other?

    Load1, TriState, V3, Panther, Bolt, BarrettDirectline, C5, etc.. -But many of those are OTR over the road for 2 to 3 weeks at a time.. Most of the expediting apps are just pulling off the spot market. I've heard Shiply, GoShare, Frayt, and Curri are okay for local. Hippix is on...

    16' box truck, door opening/deck height? comfort/c

    Re: 16' box truck, door opening/deck height? comfo It also appears that the 2002 and older GMC units with the 5.7L run 4.56 Gears while the 2003 and newer GMC units with the 6.0L run 4.10 gears. Since they both run LT225/75r16 tires, the 4.56 would have to run at higher rpm on the highway can...
