    Would you take Higher Rate and less Miles or More Miles and Lower Rate?

    Yes, but an LTL isn't an expedite freight, it can be delivered even after one month from the p/u day... some shipper from LA tried once to give me an LTL going to Michigan, for $500! When I told the guy that we're expediters and he can have it delivered in 48 hrs, he said there's no rush, we can...

    Cargo Van Buying New Van

    All of 'em are gas. All of 'em are 2014. The very first one that I bought, I spent already over 14K in repairs. The other two, so far only plenty of light bulbs. But they're still young (speaking about mileage).

    Last 20 years of Expedite Freight

    20 years ago I switched from an 18 wheeler to a CV, signing with TNT (now TST). It was a bad idea. Not the CV, but the TNT choice. Yet I drove for them almost two years. Two horrible years. After moving to Panther II I realized that expediting people can make money too if they're with the right...

Her son replies: "Mom, you cannot drive to Hawaii!" "Yes, you're right" says the woman, "I forgot that...
