Thinking about leasing a cargo van with Alliance Express out of Fenton, MI anyone have any experience with them? Other than doing a Google search are there other ways of researching a Trucking company. Thanks for any and all feedback.

They are not a qualified carrier for Load One so can't say much. Are they a multi carrier model?

It isn't a statement of a companies ability. It was a simple statement that the carrier does not meet our vetting/compliance/insurance requirements. We have standards that are above the industry min standard that most use. No disagreement just a simple statement.

A quick look at the Alliance Express website & you'll find a TEANA banner.

Reference the TEANA website they are not listed as current members.

Maybe the folks at Alliance should contact someone at TEANA to get that resolved. I would.

What did you disagree with? ....NO opinion was rendered?...Just a simple statement that they are not a qualified carrier to haul their loads...

Agreed: Either they are a new member OR are falsely advertising OR Teana is slow to add them to the list...

Alliance has not been approved to carry Load 1 loads.....They just don't meet the Load 1 standards of acceptance at this time..but might in the future....They could be a good carrier other then that...:)

Often times carriers will use the TEANA logo to help build "credibility" when they are not members. I will send an email to TEANA as it could be on their end.

Back around 2008 or 2009, I contacted Darren about running freight for them out of the Chicago area! He happened to be passing through, so we met at the Oasis on I-294 in South Holland, IL. Nice guy, and they offered me a Illinois to Alabama run on a Saturday. When I returned the phone call, they had already covered the trip. Never did anything else for them after that! While on another trip for another carrier, coming back from Michigan, I happened to stop at the rest area between Michigan and Indiana border, and saw one of their Sprinter Vans parked. Would've liked to speak with driver but it was late at night and I figured he/she were sleeping.
I know that in addition to running the expedite business, they're also into the construction business.
Good luck in your decision!
