My thoughts too, but they certainly would not have the same comforts! I refuse to go on the road like a pauper! Not worth it, if your not comfortable.

How much ltl freight is being hauled by expediters? And at what rate? Are there any company's that are specializing in ltl?

I've been out of trucking for the past 4 years, but thinking of getting back in. Here's the scenario; I own a 2010 hino 185 that I currently use to haul my race car. I have a 60" sleeper and 14' beavertail flatbed. I have been thinking of getting rid of the flatbed and putting a 12' dry box on...

Just wondering how Con-Way drivers are dealing with the new fsc rates? Seems to me that they are pocketing the "extra." Haven't heard anything since the original postings but it looks like a formula to en-richen the company coffers!

Thank you for the info! I'll really have to do my homework! Just don't know how feasable it would be to try getting back home. Certainly can't afford to be dh 2-3 hundred miles everytime I want to see the homestead, might just be seeing it on a permenant basis with that business plan!

Thank you for the response. Still thinking about it, going to have to do a lot more research. No Canada or NYC is just a dream! Guess living outside the freight lanes I was more concerned with getting home without to much dh. Seeing that I will be a solo unit I was just curious as to if any of...

Just wondering if anyone knows of any carriers that run primarily in the northeast? Preferably no canada or nyc! I've been driving for about 10 years local and am considering the possability of expediteing in a c unit.
