I'm not really sure,but the EO staff writer (Phil Madsen...aka A team)has written a whole article devoted to this.He even has his own website called Successful Expediters.So I would say just do everything his way and you will be a Successful Expediter.;) :7

YNOT,You have a PM and a e-mail

There is an A unit(pickup w/cap) here in laredo leased on with CTX.DD.

We have the KVH L3 in motion sattelite system, and it works great for us. This is the second truck we have had this setup on,and are very pleased with it's performance.DD.

I knew I should not have read this thread while waiting to be dispatched.You guessed it,NY to Laredo.Looks like I'll be joining the party on Sunday.Save some freight for me.

Sunshine to all,the name of the company is Dynamex. And yes OVM is still with them,and very much alive and well.:7

Well I agree that we won't be able to haul the radioactive and explosives loads for w/g,but the last w/g load we did haul was a haz-mat(poison)shipment.All I was trying to say is that when they get in a pinch w/g has no problem with using surface expedite trucks to GIT R DONE.:7
