I'm sorry to say that I was told the Skills Challenge at FedEx Custom Critical was cut from the budget next year to do other things for the FedEx Drivers. So this past years one was the last one unless they bring it back. It was at FedEx Custom Critical for 10 years and Michelle T. did a great...

In 2010 I will have been in this business for 15 years, but not as long as DaveKc, Steve Gilbert, Limda and Dave , Terry and Rene, Harold, Leader and many other great people. It got me thinking of how much this business has changed in almost 15 years. Roberts Express which was the biggest...

After reading another post that made me laugh so hard I had tears coming out of my eyes. What are some of the crazy driver stories you have been told? They don't have to be ture just funny. I can't think of any right now because I'm still laughing about the monkey one.

I know Rich Moore got out of the business, but where is he at?

We got our Expedite Now in the mail today: Did you get yours today? There was some nice things in there wrote by Phil Madison. Thanks Phil, nice writing. I may pick at you but it's all in fun. If you ever met me Phil you would understand, I'm CRAZY and I like to joke around. But really nice...

This Question has come up many times over the years. Are you an employee or contractor with the carrier or the owner your with? I must say at Panther you are a true contractor. They give you the CHOICE on what you want to do. So my Question to you is: Are you a true Owner/Operator with your...

Well, I said I would share with everyone how it's been with Panther after a few weeks. To be honest it's great. The team loads may not be as long as they where at FedEx but our trucks are not sitting either. My brother and his co Driver did nine loads in the last 7 days. One load was a 1233...

I would like to put this out to the people of EO. How much time do you need to accept a load. The reason I'm asking is I feel that 15 minutes is way to long to give a truck time to accept a load. In this business the customer pays top dollar to get their freight picked up and moving down the...

This business has came along way since I started at Robert's Express in 1995. The one thing that has helped drivers and owners over the years is Expediters Online. This one was Lawrence Mc Cords Baby and he took off wih it. Now I remember Jroman.com that helped but Lawrence took it to the next...

After posting about me leaving FedEx as a driver to go see how Panther is. I seen alot of posts about Panther vs FedEx Custom Critical. Being the son of a 40 year truck O/O. I seen my father work hard over the years and asked him what is the best company he worked for. My father told me that no...

This is a few pictures of one of the trucks that I manage for Integrity Motor Freight. It's on with FedEx Custom Critical and it was at the Expedite Expo this year. Driver Keith Gill takes very good of this ER unit. Everyone post some truck pictures.

After being with Robert's Express/ FedEx Custom Critical since 1995 it's time to move on. I would like to say thanks to all the people at FedEx Custom Critical that we worked with over the years. I wish all the drivers and staff at FedEx the best. Keep up the great work.

Our Carrier has came up with a new dispatch system that all of our driver's hate. I understand the idea behind it but they need to throw this one out the window and run it over with the truck. Now our trucks are getting load offers that are 300 to 500 miles away. With the high cost of fuel...

This was sent to me in an E-mail and I hope the pictures show up. PO2 (EOD2) Mike Monsoor, a Navy EOD Technician, was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously for jumping on a grenade in Iraq, giving his life to save his fellow Seals. During Mike Monsoor's funeral in San Diego, as his...

With campanies going away from how many points a driver has on his MVR it's getting harder to find drivers. I had a driver that I wanted to hire and he only had 4 points on his CDL with the state of Ohio but our company said no to him coming on with us. He had a speeding ticket, Running a stop...

I was reading something on the Akron Beacon Journal web page about Casinos. They have a place where you can post your commits. One person put "we dont need your kind in the state of Ohio with all your hookers". I thought to myself if your worried about Casinos for that reason then maybe you...

I was telling a friend of mine about this guy on the show "Dirty Job" making his own bio diesel. So he checked it out and is making bio diesel at home for his dump trucks and has cut his fuel cost to .60 a gallon. He did tell me that if you pull up behind him in a car you smell french fries. He...

I have been thinking about this for a few years now but never asked this. Why do people get into the business of expediteing in hopes of making better money than their old job, but take off 25% or more of the year? Think about it, most teams run three weeks out and one week off each...

So is everyone ready for this years Expo. I know we are, couldn't make last year because my wife was really sick. Looking forward to seeing some friends and having a good time. Did you guys do anything last year for Trucker Buddie? Like have a truck convoy, dunk tank. How many people would pay...

Since DaveKC has been around in this business for some time. Do you think he should be called "Father Expediter"?
