Chaz do you find so far that your loded miles pay for nations cost to you? I couldn't get a straight answer out of them as to average fee for loaded miles.:9

I drove for Nations for a few months. they have alot of dead head miles and you don't get paid for most of them! They also have you sitting alot in between runs. Good luck though!

The way this company is set up with their "franchise" concept, they have a very fragmented type of business. They claim to be built on the Express America business plan, but that's not really the case. Each office has different pricing and brokers out a lot of their ground expedite to their other "alliance" carriers. A lot of their offices concentrate on brokering air freight instead of developing a good network of ground expedite customers. This makes for some dead geographical areas that you can get stuck in - thus the excessive deadhead miles. There are several other Southeastern expediters like All State and DMW that you might want to look at also - and don't forget Landstar/Express America.
