Our hinges are welded so the only way to remove our doors is to cut them off and a little bit of tape is not going to do anything if someone wants to cut our doors off. I think the stainless is a great idea and if more shippers go to this policy it sounds like a good solution. The situation...

Oh no we were loaded and ready to do paperwork before we found this little item out. We then were unloaded. We were to worried about them defacing the truck and not being able to clean it off. With all of these suggestions though I think we might have been all right. What a surprise...

aileron, How is going for you? I have talked to few vans and they say they are running about the same as before. I imagine it will take a bit for the new rate to take affect with the customers. I have not heard of any one running a less then 75 have you been offered one?

Good to know thanks you guys. I have spray and wash and I have goo gone just do not want to ruin paint on truck. It is kind of silly to put security tape on a truck that has it hinge bolts welded anyway. They want to use security tape and also a seal. Lots of over kill. But next time we...

We need to know if anyone has an idea on how to remove security tape residue? We just refused a load due to this tape and not wanting to deface the box on the truck. If we can find a safe way to remove this residue we will not have to go through this mess again. Any ideas?

There will be less to see in the parking lot this year as I imagine many will move inside. This has to be a huge blow to MATS. I wonder how this as well as the slow economy will affect the show attendance. The bands never interested us as the wrong kind of music.

FedEx Custom Critical does not have a maintenance plan or anyway you can set back money for repairs or any other business expenses. FCC is not a bank or a savings account. They have your escrow account and that is to cover freight damage or if you or they terminate your lease to cover anything...

She is also our CC so you know what I am saying when those two are together it should be a riot! They are both a lot of fun.

If you are anywhere near Memphis this week look him up! He and Tonya who is a CC will be in the area. They will be at the Petro on the 20th from 12:00 to 4:00 for a meet and greet. Should be fun as they are both characters and fun to be around.

Well as aweful as it sounds we could just go into all the scales. Just think of all the fuel wasted by slowing down and then having to speed up once again to get out of the scales! We have not seen the letter yet either on how PrePass is changing and the new rates. Cannot make a decison...

I am sure they will let us know by the weekly email and a letter to the house about when the change will happen. This change was initiated by PrePass and not FCC. It should not be a big deal to change over but it does sound as if the OOIDA discount will get us the best rates now.

I hope your friend before he sells all of his toys talks to other T/T solo drivers. I have never heard of a maintenance program at FedEx Custom Critical. It sounds like he is either being told a bunch of malarkey or he is telling you a bunch of malarkey.

layoutshooter sounds like you do not need to worry about it. No more settlement deductions. The deduction was just on PrePass not on any of the combo passes.

Cute story! I bet that duck does put a smile on a lot of faces.

Ok I see what you are saying chefdennis. We get charged .50 when we use the card for fuel and that is easily made up in the discounts we get. I would rather see someone do that then to use a credit card and not pay off the balance. I was so against advances it really took that couple some...

Chefdennis Oh how I would have agreed 100% with you on getting an advance on our fuel cards before we started this. We were very lucky a couple got hold of us and had a heart to heart talk with how you use a fuel card and why you use a fuel card. My opinion was an advance is a horrible thing...

jjohnson48 If you truly believe what you have wrote you needed to move on the day you decided you came to that conclusion. If you even think this is happening pop into the office when near Green and ask to sit with a dispatcher and watch for an hour or two. Have a free lunch or breakfast...

You do not have to worry about us as we would not even apply for such a dishonorable job in these times. Unions had a place but they no longer have a place. The reason getting hurt on the job is less at a union shop is because you first have to work. I am sure there are good union places out...

This is an interesting survey and love the idea of Electonic On Board Recorders or hate the idea let your voice be heard: Electronic On-Board Recorders (EOBRs)

We just carry an extra set of wipers and change them out as needed. We do not like streaky windows and this always happens on the drivers side. We also use the -40 windshield wiper fluid and have never had it freeze.
