Barret Expedite

ds1450 · Jan 2, 2010

Happy New Year Everyone! I always keep an ear to the tracks about new companies and wondering if anyone knows anything about Barrett Expedite out of Arkansas. Are they regional to that area or are they like the more familiar Expedite companies out there?

Let me know here or if it's really bad news send me a private message.

I have seen their drivers in a lot of areas. Have talked to several and they all seem happy with the company.

Depends on what you really want to know.

Will they hunt, pick and cook your goose?? NO!!

Will they allow you to make a good living if you want to work??? YES!!

Not sure how much property you need to own to be considered serious. They are a smart carrier who who obviously has not overspent themselves. Barrett Directline does a good business.

Very good company to work with never was leased direct to them but always paid really good

Never worked for them, but have done their loads in the past. Never had a problem.

We also do business with them and have never had any issues.

Thanks for clarifying. Most people not from Arkansas think the only town in Arkansas is Little Rock and everyone who live in the state lives in Little Rock and knows Bill Clinton on a first name basis. I know most people here wouldn't think that, but it's funny what some people think .

Imagine that! Like many companys that have the disgruntled that are mainly dumasses or the roast goose hunters.
