Express-1 is all good IMHO. This will be my third winter with them. If you are willing to work (take the loads they offer, and don't complain) you will make money. In other words run like a professional. I listen to, and read post's from so many drivers that do nothing but complain. It's like...

Hi All, I am going for my FAST interview tomorrow morning. Has anyone here been through the process yet? If so what can I expect? I don't want to be blind sided by anything. Thanks UpNorth

Hi Dark_One, I think you are right on the money!! I have been thinking the exact same thing for the last couple of months. The heck with the maneuverability, the extra length and weight capacity would be worth it. At my company freight longer than 24ft or greater than 13,500lbs pays E rate. It...

I changed the rear end in my FL70 a couple of months ago. I went the other way though. I went from a 3.90 to a 4.33. I wanted to be able to handle the grades a little better. The tranny only has direct final drive, no overdrive so I only get a top speed of about 60mph. Are u going to do the...

Hi All, Thought I'd share this with the group. About a month ago I was under load from Dayton OH to Detroit. The check engine like on my FL70 came on (Blinking) and it started running really rough. I pulled over and checked what I could out. It was not running hot and had good oil pressure...

Definitley keep us posted. I am thinking of doing the same with my 6 speed. Swapping out for a 9 speed. I have had breakdowns on the road also, and my company has been absolutley great with paying for the repairs and deducting from my settlements. Upnorth

Sounds like a great idea ATEAM. I'm all in. You set the date and time and I will be there. It will be great to get to know some fellow Minnesotans. Keep us all posted. UpNorth

Add one more to the list MN HOT FR8TERS. I call Emmaville home, half way between Park Rapids and Lake George. I run with Express-1. I have had a hard time getting out of Mpls/St Paul lately. We seem to have plenty of freight coming into MN. I am all for a lunch or breakfast sometime. We should...

Hi All, I am changing my gear ratio on my FL70 from 3.90 to 4.33 over the holiday's. I talked to the freightliner dealer and they said that there are some dip switches on the speedometer head that can be changed to make the speedo read correctly with the new gears. I have a direct final drive...

I am propably beating a dead horse with this question, but I'll ask it anyway. Is there an Expedite or other company (that could use an expedite type truck) that has steady freight in or out of the Minneapolis area? I would like to get back into the biz but would also like to get into my home...

Hello, I run with Express-1. I was in Knoxville 2 weeks ago. Got back loaded out of Nashville. Also down to Louisville often. They move freight into the Carolina's and Florida steadily also. I don't think you'll have a problem getting home. Upnorth

RE: Whats the better Truck??? & Why-Opinions/Reaso I'll throw my two cents in. I agree with weave, most expediters don't buy a FL as their 2nd truck. I have a FL70 with a 60in sleeper and a 26 foot box (yes that is correct 26' box). it has a 3126 with a 6 speed. It is nerve racking running this...

Hi All, I am new to the group, and am looking for Expediter companies based in or deliver considerable freight to MN, ND, or MT. Do any of you know of any?? Thanks in advance UpNorth
