    Truck strike- rumor or FYI

    Very good post Moot. I wish it would all come ture. Everyone is putting their money in oil right now and that is part of the reason behind the high cost of oil. A strike sounds great, but you can't get two driver to agree on anything. How about slowing your truck down to 59 mph to save fuel. If...

    EGR units on Trucks

    Just to let everyone know that if your EGR unit goes bad have the shop change the oil and clean out your trucks oil system. If your trucks EGR unit leaks it can put coolant in your oil. How that comes to happen is once the truck is turned off the coolant can leak back into the oil. Once that...

    MBE 900 EGR cooler leak

    Have them change the oil in the truck too. I didnt see this post when I was posting about EGR units. The coolant leaks out your tail pipe when the truck is running but can leak back into the clinders when the truck is turned off. That is what happened to one of our trucks. Freightliner will...

    FedEx Express Centers

    Yes, this is ture. I feel that this will better serve our customers needs at Fedex Custom Critical. FedEx has moved away from auto freight and cheap freight over all. The whole ideal behind this is to put the O/O and drivers in the best place to get freight on their trucks. The only thing that...

    Super D unit

    This ideal has been done at Robert's Express about 9 years ago. I would always see that truck at the Flying J checked in to the Ind Express. The driver did get paid for E loads too. The truck was in White Glove at the time from what the driver said. A-Team if you ask some of the agents in...

    IdleAire no longer accepting reservations

    I think they would get way more people to use IdleAire if the cost was lower,more like $1.25 per hour ($30.00 a day) At the rates they have now its better to get a cheap motel than IdleAire. For us at FedEx we get it at $1.85 and hour plus tax ($44.40 a day plus tax). It's cheaper for our...

They didnt get paid for those loads, but got paid for one load they did on the 21th of August. Never...

    Settlement Department At FedEx

    Just have to ask is anyone else having a problem getting paid on time from FedEx. I really don't think it's FedEx, I think it's more Trip Pack then anything. It seems here lately that our 4 trucks and the other 3 trucks I manage with Fedex are not getting paid for their loads ontime. Most of the...
