If possible I would like some input from any solo D-unit o/o from the Detroit area. I know that there are some of you out there, and I would like to know what your experience has been. I will soon be entering the industry and would like to know if a solo D-unit can operate profitably out of Detroit with the HOS. I know that Detroit is the expediting capital of the world, and does this work to your advantage as far as getting loads and getting home more often than others. I would also like some input concerning carriers that operate more regionally in the Midwest such as Express-1, as I am looking into possibly signing on with them.

That may have been true years ago,but i don't think the motor city can claim that title these days.JMHO.DD.

Agree with Mr DD. I think Chicago is now the #1 area for in and outbound loads. I would put Detroit #3-4 and when Ford and GM get all of thier plants closed,Detroit will be # 10. You have freight but boy there is strong competition for it.

I would agree. Chicago is the best freight area for expedite.
