Caliber- FedEx reefers

Thinking about making a move from air freight to caliber, or fed ex reefers,hauling pharmecuticals. Anybody out there drive for them?

What you are looking at used to be called MEDI-QUIP Express,At one time it was a division of Roberts Express (Now FDX CC),then the companies were merged into a holding company called Caliber,Medi Quip became Caliber Express or Logostics. They only handle drugs pharmacuticals etc.I looked into it a few years back and liked the idea of bascially having a routine life style with more home time. But at that time I did not want to invest in a reefer.Your other post mentioned earnings of about $1800 gross per week.I think running solo $15-16-- is more realistic.
There doesn!t seem to be much competition in this area so I would give it a shot,let us know if you sign on and how it works out.Good luck.

What type of truck requirements do they have? Do they require a lift-gate, refer, etc?

Thanks,
