    St. Louis area

    A_A: St Louis is a pretty good expedite area with a generally steady amount of freight, yearround. Like any area, busy depends on the company to which you might be leased, the area in which you live or are laying over, and the type of truck you are driving. I recommend that you continue to...

    New Expediter Question

    Swifty: Welcome to the Forum. You've been in this biz long enough to know that this is a hit or miss endeavor if you are leased as an independent contractor to a carrier, and rely solely on that carrier for all of your run opportunities. Expediting has historically been such a lucrative...

    Is owning a truck the same as owning a buisness?

    RE: Is owning a truck the same as owning a buisnes The partnership that we generally call expediting is really a triad; the Customer, the Carrier and the Owner/Operator. Take away any one and you have no reason to exist. The surface expedited transportation sector consists of an infinite...

    What is the best GPS device?

    Kerry's comments

    Thanks and congrats on your academic achievements. As a thirty year veteran with enlisted and Vietnam theater service, I find Senator Kerry to be a man who hold the military and those who serve in very low regard. He used his minimal service time solely as a stepping stone to his lowlife...

    Panther to sell out to UPS??

    I agree with Leo and Dave. Facts that would support this rumor would seldom leave the confines of the Boardroom, but the rumors of this acquisition often have their genesis near the coffee pot at a truck stop. I've long held the unconfirmed belief that the investment firm of Fenway Partners...

    FedEx will make some change's

    Bruno: The 65% for ER trucks is correct because they each own their own trailers and were getting 63%. I really don't have any thoughts on the appropriate mile per gallon FSC rate for a C or D truck. As it stands now, a C or D gets the FSC based on the typical class 6 or 7 truck that can get...
