    Ceva

    Did you see an ad for vans? Ceva has a lot of freight. However, most gets moved by other carriers.

    Expedite Dispatch

    Freight always gets cheaper as more people get their hands into it. It doesn't mean it's "cheap" at all. A backhaul is any load from a source other than your own that puts your trucks back where you want them. Someone running for Express-1 might get info to pick up a load for Bolt Express...

    So you have a gun in your truck?

    It looks like that story has been rewritten since I last read it. The original said that the assailant had to beg the victim to stop shooting at him, because his gun was fake. It turns out, that it was not.

    Question about licensing

    Roadmaster has a three day Class B course. $900 sounds about right for that. You can just pay to have them administer the test for you. That usually includes a truck to use, but you'll probably never drive it beforehand. The other option is what Dakota said. There are some third party...

    Don't worry about someone else. If your numbers say that it's a bad deal, then follow that. If even after the rosiness that many recruiters paint, if the numbers don't look good, just know this: That's the BEST you will see in this market. Rewards in this climate, as with any market, are...

    Fedex Custom Critical has some daycab straight trucks runnin' around Long Island. Maybe they're not really an expedite carrier after all.....

    You are welcome. If you are closer to Newark, then go look for air cartage carriers near the airport. If closer to Philly, then look for companies there.

    I am amazed on here at the number of "advisors" that are genuinely upset that you did not consult their wisdom previously in your life. How in the world did you ever get your pants on in the morning?

    Anybody know anything about CEVA Expedite?

    Ceva has an expedite division, based in Romulus, I believe. Last time I spoke with a driver, they had about ten leased units. They move a lot by other carriers. Not sure if they are actively recruiting.

    Question of the Day

    When I was a kid, the lady up the street used to let her Scottish terrier poop wherever, including our yard. One day my dad took the poop in a bag to the lady's husband. That dog never messed in our yard ever again. Yeah, I know. OFF TOPIC!!

    where do you live?

    The ACH drops from our bank to the owner ops now happen overnight, provided it is sent by 1900 EDT. There have been 3-4 issues even then this last year, but it just means that it took an extra day because of a server glitch. Not fun to explain to the owner op. That being said, no one has ever...

    How low will you go?

    I received a call on Friday of last week from an agent at a large carrier represented here (name withheld to protect the guilty). He called asking if I had any van freight that I needed to move that morning. It was still a bit early and I wasn't working on anything at the time. This carrier...
