    ok anyone of a good place for down & out expediter

    RE: ok anyone of a good place for down & out exped Like the song says, sometimes you have to know when to hold them, and know when to fold them. I folded them about 6 months. After nine fairly prosperous years of expediting. That was the right time for me. No regrets. It's all about...

    Anyone seen UPS trucks yet???

    Never been accused of fast fingers before. I saw a UPS Expedite van shortly after they first started putting on vans. The driver was from Okalhoma city but he deadheaded to Dallas to try to get a load. But that was quite awhile ago.

    Logging Question

    One further note, GM does still offer a 10,000GVW dually for sale. I ordered one and the dealer wasn't aware of that option. I had to show them on their website where it was available. They are a rare creature to find used. But they are still available. The Gm whether a dually or not is a...

    heating & ac for sprinters

    Yes the espar is great but Espar of Michigan is terrible about calling you back if there is a problem. You can't always be near their shop. I have ordered products and they are slow (over 3 months to ship). If Kathy tells you Ray will call you back, well lets just say I have been waiting over...

    Cleveland, Ohio Is it really this slow???

    No bashing wanted, Just information please. Has the Cleveland market dried up for all cargo vans. Not interested in bashing any company, just trying to get a pulse on things. My company is only getting 1 or 2 runs a day. Is it better for anyone else??

    GM vans 6.0 vs 5.7

    There in lies the problem with this industry. You are taking a straight truck load at van rate. That in turns drives down the rate for straight trucks. In return it drives down the rate for vans. It is time to get paid for the freight we are hauling. Too many people are doing just exactly...

    Landstar Questions

    I am sure vans are slow for everyone at times. This should be the busy time. Landstar continues to grow the fleet but their load to van ratio is very poor. I don't know of any new business that they have even gone after. As I see it the agents just sit back on their laurels waiting for a...
