    Anyone heard of Matrix Expedited out of Flint, Mi. ?

    Seems like a decent company. I think they have company equipment. I think they are related to Pointe Dedicated and Hare Cartage.

    All Things Expedited... Anyone have any experience with this company?

    Commercial insurance for sprinter

    Not that far off what a standard carrier is paying for that kind of full coverage on a unit. Cheaper is out there but most likely not the correct coverage.

    Re: AllTypes, O'Hare Logstics, Expediters Union, MidwestExpediting, StartExpediting e Agreed. The "magic bullet" multi carrier saw a quick rise and steady fall since then. The reasons are many but none seem to be good for the owner operator. Plenty of threads on here on this topic and the...
