I wasn't able to be at the owners meeting at Panther because I was out on the road. One of the things that I was told that came up is, the number of trucks that Panther has on. Being at FedEx Custom Critical for many years this same thing would always come up. Now FedEx did a great job of...

After reading the post about FedEx changing the pay on B units to .85 cpm. Do you think they will do it to the rest of the fleet on a flat rate per mile? With times hard for business and over 15 expedite companies trying to get all the loads. This may have been coming I don't know. Maybe this...

Teamcaffee I was the one who came up with message 55 at FedEX thank you very much. So it wasn't a FedEx macro. And yes Trip pack is a joke, me and our 13 other driver's know very well how to fill them out. Everything that we sent into trip pack had the FedEx truck number and the pro number...

Well voting for the next leader of the free world has come and gone. Are you happy with what the turn out was? Do you think it will help or hurt the expedite business?

How does your company reward you with doing short loads? I know FedEx Custom Critical rewards their driver's for taking a load under 75 miles. You get so many points for DVA which only fare because you did a short load. You can take your less than 75 as it's called at FedEx and go out of service...

I have been out on the road the last few weeks seeing how Panther is since we moved all the trucks to Panther. I will say the fuel discounts that they have set up with the TA is a very good one. We saved in the one truck I drive in almost $600.00 over the last two weeks. We now have asked our...

This is too true to be funny. The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money. A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting...
