Van Expediting

I own my own cargo van, and I am wondering , is it just me or are all vans running slow? Last month I ran around 4500 paid miles, and over 1500 dead head. Seems that we are going farther to get freight and low miles in return.

Expedite isn't immune to the slowdown found in all sectors of trucking . In fact expedite is hit harder because shippers now think twice before paying the higher rates . Expedite Carriers are letting the C and D units find their own freight to get out of dead areas . They have even provided them with lists of brokers .
Your mileage is actually better than many CV's are getting
