    Best expedite loadboard

    Due to the nature of expedite freight needing to go asap, you won't find alot of loads on load boards as the shipper usually doesn't want to wait for a board to work. May I suggest signing on with a carrier.

    Expediting in Texas

    Wow! 5 bucks a mile! I don't think so. Even us out and back/same day delivery guys didn't get 5 a mile. Like danthewolf00 said, maybe the broker got five, but not the truck.

    Expediting in Texas

    Don't go into this thinking you're free to work whenever you want. You have to be available whenever freight needs to be moved. Even if that's not on your terms. Turn down enough loads, the phone stops ringing.

    Expediting in Texas

    New Sprinter van, new authority, where do I find loads?

    One would think where to get loads is one of the first things to figure out before diving in head first and purchasing a van. But that is water under the bridge now. My advise would be to sign on to one of the larger carriers and learn the business. I'm told Bolt is a good company to learn at.
