Daily Express moves freight not seen every day. The trucking company carries mostly oversized loads (construction machinery, industrial equipment, even gigantic telescope mirrors) on various-sized trailers. Delivery of wind turbine components, a Daily Express specialty, has given the company a boost -- high energy prices have caused headaches for most freight companies but have ramped up demand for alternative energy production, giving Daily Express extra business. The company's fleet consists of more than 700 trailers. It operates throughout the US from a network of about 10 terminals, primarily east of the Mississippi. An affiliate, Plant Site Logistics, provides transportation management services.
