Where are ya based?
Dynamex has branches in many places; and they seem to run differently in each one. I only know that the SAME DAY COURIERS in Toronto get 55% of the freight bill.

Dynamex is a large courier company based in Dallas - but owned by Air Canada. They have offices in every major city in North America. The only true "Expedited" division I know of is out of Cambridge, Ontario - all the rest are local couriers.

I would start by getting ALL the details on the "dedicated" load. Remember, if a shipment is "dedicated" it generally will not pay as well as a regular "expedited" shipment.

But there is always a trade-off with dedicated loads, you will know where you are going to be and what you will generate in revenue each week. Many drivers trade that extra revenue for "security" - which isn't always a bad thing. Just understand going in that is generally how it works.

Also, get ALL the details on extra stops, inside delivery fees, detention times etc. I would also recommend getting EVERYTHING in writing before you commit to the load for a "long term".

Best wishes!

If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.
