Do any expediters run legal?

We need more specifics . You say you have your own MC so who are the "they " giving you these loads ? The major expedite carriers generally won't give a solo loads over 500 miles although they do relay some loads longer than that .

 

I assume you're running solo. I can't answer your question directly, since I'm not in the business, but I'm curious about how expediting companies handle solo operators and expecting them to make a run that can't legally be done solo: are loads that scarce? Do you get stuck in no-freight areas? Are you allowed to look at load boards and find freight directly with your company getting a cut? If you have your own authority, can/do you book your own freight outside of the company?

 

My company never give me a load I can't run legal. But sitting a day or two the get a call that sets you off running like your butts on fire....welcome to expedite.

Not that it answers your question, but DEPENDING on the trip, (ie; all interstate, no drops along the way, etc) 1800 miles in 30 hrs is doable.

28hrs at 65mph avg. is 1820 miles 15min a day, PTI, for three days is 45 min, (at least until mandatory break sets in), that leaves you an hour and a quarter to load/unload/fuel, hope you have large tanks or get great fuel mileage.

Tight, but doable, esp IF your truck can run 75mph and you have some states with that limit.

 

That's why I INCLUDED time allotment for fuel, PTI, load/unload. DRIVING time would be under 28 hrs. I hope you are not counting your OFF duty hours against your 70?


UNLESS you are telling me they wanted the trip from pickup to del. made in a 30 hour TOTAL window, if that is the case, it's time to look elsewhere.
