There are just too many variables for threads like % vs FL and others that just compare money and miles. If the main object is max $, yeah, I'd want to know. But if other factors about the company are making me unhappy, top dollar won't cut it. Some ppl might do great at FedEx, but hate...

Am just wondering. Choice is down to between Load 1 and Landstar. Thanks.

Whatever happened to opening a terminal there? Can't post on the Load 1 forum, and don't want to hijack the website thread. Also, didn't e,ail question, in case anyone else was interested.

Do the dealers who specialize in expediter trucks (straights) do leasing? And does it make any sense to lease vs. purchasing? Jim

Any solo driver in straight trucks on with Load1 on here? Just looking for general feedback as to your impressions of them, especially if you've come over from another company. Want to compare apples to apples, why I asked regarding straight trucks. You can pm me if you don't want to...

I know about FedEx's no pet policy in their WG section, but what about other companies? Any others have a no pet restriction? Thanks. Jim

Generally speaking, and I realize that everybody's income needs are different, but are solo drivers doing alright? I'm coming back to expediting (not that I've done a lot) after a failed attempt to do my 1st love, OTR flatbed. I just don't have the stamina any more to secure and tarp loads...

I am searching online, but thought I'd ask here, also. I'm driving for a small fleet owner. He has told me that he pays for some sort of workers accident insurance, but Nort Carolina requires Worker's Comp. So I'll have to cover the difference between the insurance he pays and the WC amount. He...

I talked to a expediter team yesterday morning, they were parked in the local Wally World lot. Husband and wife. One interesting bit they told me is that they have been running more as 2 workers in the truck than as a true team lately. They'll get a couple of LTL loads that have to be loaded and...

I'm a member of 2 general trucking forums. In the past month or so, many drivers have indicated they have been busier (more miles) than the previous several months, and more so than they expected, since this is generally the slow time of year for freight. I get the feeling that there is a...

In the DOT/Trooper thread, there was a bit of discussion regarding regulating vans. A "yes it should happen" with a few reasons given, and a "No it won't happen", with reasons given. Thought I'd make it a separate thread. Personally, I think it will happen, in the future. I think that at some...

Another 'just curious' question. Are there flatbed Expedited carriers out there? Jim F

Is Expediting still all O/Os or are there company trucks now, also? Just curious. Jim F
