Anyone seen a ups expeditor yet? I know they purchased a company a year or so ago, but haven't seen a UPS expeditor on the road yet.

Just a wondering...

I wonder how many fingers were jammin' keys to beat Gener8 to that setup..............

Gener8 · Sep 4, 2007

Never been accused of fast fingers before.

I saw a UPS Expedite van shortly after they first started putting on vans. The driver was from Okalhoma city but he deadheaded to Dallas to try to get a load. But that was quite awhile ago.

<<They are hauling Panther trucks>>

You haven't heard?? Those are the new trucks for UPS with the black cat logo on the side. :+ :+

Where's that Roo that wants to buy a bridge???

bubbles · Sep 6, 2007

no but wish they would buy panther like the rumors maybe they could learn how to use the phone system cant even get through even when we have a question about a load but then thats what u get when only hire temps

Stoff · Sep 6, 2007

The use of temps may explain alot of things about not only the phones but the Qual Comm system as well. I thought I was the only one getting frustrated !!

The UPS people have covered wagons because they haul four fifty thousand pound coils at a time. They avoid scales and make tons of money that way. :9

:9

On a serious note...there are many small steel carriers that use covered wagons for that reason.

kangaroo,
i'm assuming you've never pulled a flatbed. let me let you in on a bit of info. when you put 1 44,000 pound coil on a spread axle flatbed you can look in the rear view mirror and watch your trailer bow and slight go up and down. if you put 4 50k coils which would be 200,000 lbs the trailer would be bowing and moving up and down so much they probobly wouldn't be able to control the truck. i don't know who told you that, but they must not have known what they where talking about either. all i'm saying is the trailer would need more than 2 axles to support that kinda weight.
