    Thanks I had looked into them that way as well. I was hopeing to find someone that had acctually delt with them, they have trucks leased on with Fed Ex CC, Express-1, and Panther Expedited. I did find some of there drivers on one of the expediter boards and all were happy. I am taking the plunge with them going to drive one of their trucks for Panther. Leaving today. Everyone I met at there office has been super to deal with I am looking forward to working with them.

    Of course you can ask, just post your questions, Yadira. That is how you will get responses.

     
    Yadira Thanks this.

    My husband and I worked for them about one year. We started with them in Jan.,2008. The way their company works is: They own the trucks and you drive for them as a company driver(independent contractor). You choose which company you want them to lease the truck to. At the time you could choose between Tri-State, FedEx CC or Panther. From what I understand, they no longer have trucks leased to Tri-State, but switched to Express-1. You go to orientation at the company of your choice and the truck is waiting there for you. They were very fair, paid every week, but we ran for them at the start of the recession, so freight got very slow and we had to leave. Very friendly staff. The only thing we didn't like is the bunk. Their trucks have studio sleepers, which means the bed is a couch. You have to fold the back down to make a bed out of it. Not very big for two during downtime,and we had to add extra padding to make it somewhat more comfortable. I guess you could buy a mattress to fit if you feel like spending the money. I heard that now you can lease your own truck on to Expeditor Services. They are the largest expeditor owner in the industry. I do recommend them. :biggrin_255:

    Thank...... i started with them the middle of june, they are great people to work with. My truck is leased on with Panther, I am driving solo, the truck is a freightliner m2 with a alumabunk sleeper very nice truck. The only issue i have had so far is with Panther and not Expediter Services, both times i have been home the Qualcom puts me on the wrong board and i miss out on loads. it is because the system has the wrong zipcode for my home location, Expediters has been helping me to get the issue resolved hopefully it will be by the time i come home again.
