Any Expediting companies in or around Georgia?

[ryledford]

I am looking to get back into the expediting business. I have experience in expediting, driving a straight truck. The company I last worked for, went out of business. So, I'm looking for a company in or around the Georgia area. All the companies, I see so far are up in the northern states. Also, I'm looking for solo work, and most companies are wanting teams. So, if anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Welcome to the forum! It makes little difference where the company itself is located in this business. Our work takes us to all corners of the country and Canada. Solo work can be tough, most of the companies are headed in the team direction. The H.O.S rules make it tough for companies to cover thier customers with solo's. Spend a few days reading through old posts, there has been much on this subject for the last few weeks. What are you expecting out of this busniess? Layoutshooter

Try DTH Expedite in Atlanta, they cover mostly local and regional freight.

Try All-State Express in Kernersville, NC, Nations Express in NC.

Good luck with trying it solo, pretty tough on a solo driver.

You didn't mention if you are thinking of getting your own truck or looking for a good owner to get with. Good luck with that too, most want/need teams.
If your looking for an owner, look in the classifieds on this site. Might get lucky and find one from your area....There was an owner, husband/wife, based out of Ga. that had trucks contracted with Tri-State, they were always looking for drivers. Not sure if their still in business or not............

All-State Express and Nation's Express are down your way too.

Sorry Suds....didn't post mine fast enough.

At this time....I would stick with All-State Express or Nations Express as Southern Expediters....

Don't forget Landstar Express America - they're pretty solid in the Southeast.
