Hi Stoney,
I was with LEA with a D unit for about a year during 2000. I liked the organization a lot, but then expediting slowed down and I was able to do something else with my truck.
The agents which were best for me were: Detroit, Omaha, Atlanta, and Grand Rapids. A hint for you about Omaha: the number listed on your contact sheet (and little blue book) gives you a recording. Instead of calling 888-601-4104, call 888-601-4105 and you will get a real person.
John & Elaine are former truckers and are great to work with. I was based in Detroit, so I did a lot with the Detroit agent. They bid on a lot of Ford business; they contact you to see if you will accept a load they are bidding on, and then they wait 20 or 30 minutes to see if they win the bid. If so, they contact you to give you the load; if not, you don't hear from them.
Be certain to get a nationwide cell phone plan (no long distance & no roaming charges) with lots of minutes, because you will call lots of agents to advise them of your availability.
Also be certain to get a reliable pager. I found CUE pager to be unreliable (lots of dead spots), and switched to Weblink and found them to be much better. You can contact them at 800-564-3571. I think that many expediters now get paging included with their cell phone plans, which you may want to check out instead of having a separate pager.
Good luck. Mike
