Since they aren't a branded name I would see little advantage. It would be a better move to obtain your own authority and go down that path. If you want it non-asset based, then just become a broker or agent. Franchises for those are at Nations and I believe Landstar.

Ive heard the name before but I think dave is correct just do it yourself if your looking to get away from the bigger ones.

i just found it curious that there was an expeditiing franchise available when as you have said an o/o can get an authority and use the load boards.

From what I gather from their site, it's easier getting a SBA loan when getting into a franchise. It all depends on what their piece of the pie would be. But something like that looks like you'd be finding your own customers, rather than looking for loads on a board. Not a bad concept, tho I don't know if this is the right timing for it.
