    Are advertising some openings around here that are drop and hook light loads with some perks. I sure can not find much chatter on the web about Towne. We have day cab but I would think that where we are it would work.

    We are pretty involved in the expedite industry and we would not consider them an expedite carrier.

    I always considered them Air Freight and TL dry van. I know they did some dedicated for Cat back in the 90's....

    TAF has been around for a while and they have provided a bunch of expedite work to a lot of O/Os at FedEx, Landstar and a couple others.

    I think it would be a good fit for someone who wants to do local work with a DC.

    Towne air in our area mostly provides air freight transportation. when I worked for a courier company, Town (and Forward air) would bring freight from their airport based WH to our place, we'd do local delivery in either straight truck or cargo van. Seems to me could be a good gig if the pay's right.
