My Experience with the XPO Tech Fleet

TONU?

Up and ready to go. Excited to get started and trying to remember all the stuff I need for paperwork, rate cons, etc. Oh and I booked my first load delivering into NJ. WTH I get to choose where to run and I go to NJ. SMH. I arrive at the shipper, find a place to park and head inside. They can’t find that number pickup anywhere. They had a different number for the same place. I go back out and look through all my stuff. Nope I don’t have that number. I call and E-mail. About 45 minutes later I find out that the load was cancelled overnight. Well we’re not off to a good start. A few phone calls later I get offered a load picking up in Ligonier, IN going to Blacksburg, VA note yet posted and paying better than the last load. Received a TONU and an unposted load at a good rate. Plus it was 17k lbs.

Picked it up and made it to Beckley, WV for the night. Delivered the next morning. While getting unloaded I started looking for the next load. Was a little gun-shy to book one early until I got used to XPO’s system and the average load/unload times. Found a paper load in Raphine going to Knox, IN . Uhg paper. Heavy & cheap but it was pretty much the only thing close at that point. I have learned that they do usually load and unload quick which is the only plus.

 

No. Lack of thought was. Jump started a car with his 5 spd truck. Pulled.the wedge from in front of his tire, truck was in Neutral,.started rolling and he tried to stop it

 

Yea it wasn't bad.

 

Made it to Know, IN the next morning and had a quick unload. I booked my next load while getting unloaded. Milford, IN to Guilford Center, NY. I had only been out for 1 1/2 weeks, this load paid well and was close to the house. So I figured I'd take a 34 at the house and pick up a few things that I needed that I didn't bring with me. Heavy load but open windows for Pick up and delivery. Easy one with no problems. A decent check for the start of this new experience. $1972 .
Enjoyed a nice reset at home and spent some more time learning the load board.
