Other companies? Go to the front page of this website, the major players are listed on the right side, myself if I had tractors I'd look at Load 1. They are in all types of transportation
Panther vs Fedex Expedite

There is a whole list of expedite carriers on the home page. As mentioned, who is a good fit would be better researched by calling them. Are you using their trailers or your own, will they let you broker your own freight, how are you insured, sign on bonuses, what they pay and don't. It is a whole list of things all the way to how your drivers are qualified. A standard class A driver is much different than someone with endorsements and whether it is a team. You aren't going to get that answer here. Call them specifically with some type of information.
You are essentially looking at the cereal isle in the grocery store and asking which is best, Lucky Charms or Captain Crunch?

That right there makes a difference in the numbers.
In what context ? Leasing on equipment / drivers with one of the major players vs. looking for partner (brokered/excess freight) carrier relationships are completely different scenarios
for example we run with XPO Expedite but use our own equipment and mainly im looking for another expedite company that i can use to have more choices on expedite loads so our trucks are constantly moving and not sitting. Str8trk id be looking to be a partner carrier with an expedite company.
So simply put .... you want the bigger Expeditite carriers to call you with their good loads First ... even though your equipment is Not exclusivly leased on to them only .... ahead of their own O/OP that are leased on to them only ... and you want rates higher than what they pay their own O/OP .... correct ...?
No you are not correct you are wrong sir. They do not need to call me but id want to bid on the loads and than either have them decline my bid or award it simply just like XPO or email me with their expedite loads. Expedite should be paying over 1.70 per mile no questions asked. Why run expedite under 1.70 when driving straight to delivery...?
Agh now we get the meat, you want to be a partner carrier, now that 1.70 mile is gonna be a tuff nut to crack, rates are in the toilet, the carrier isn't likely charging that. If your sticking firm on the 1.70 that's a reason your trucks don't move much.
Roger what you looking to do is be apart of many different carriers agent network. You want to be able to haul freight for Panther, FedEx, Load1, and XPO right? Do you have your own MC numbers or are these trucks leased to a carrier?
If your boss has his own MC number then try using Sylectus. What you're trying to do can be done and has been done. You have to meet with the different carriers one on one and see if you can become what is called a partner carrier, that's if you have or own MC numbers

It's pretty simple ... Just subscribe to Sylectus and you can participate in the bidding war for everyone's scraps
Yes .... and forget that $ 1.70 crap
Not saying that its a Bad rate ... but your not going to get that most of the time off the Bid Boards from reading on EO what drivers are saying about truck rates ... was my point
