It's Alright Leo I was just upset that you of all people would think that I wouldn't post the whole story. Leo you should know me better than that. I just feel bad for the guy with the Tri-State Truck, he has to Pay a tow bill and pay for a new window. The driver has the tow bill and I'm going...

I was thinking the same thing Greg. The driver that picked up the truck said that there was a Tri-State truckin their tow yard that was their with a window busted out of it. Sounds like to me the broke the window. They said that is why our truck got towed because the Tri-State truck got broke...

It's Okay, I just wanted everyone to know what is going on there. The lead driver had his sister pick up his truck when she came in for her time off because they both drive for us. She dropped her Truck off in Seville, Ohio and took his back to Toldeo so he didn't have to drive his car over here...

No it's the Pilot off of 75 before you go into MI.

>We need Paul Harvey on this because there's more to this >story than truck at Pilot less than one hour and towed. That >may be what came from the drivers but it must be incomplete >or inaccurate or it wouldn't have been towed. Besides the >full and honest story the other question is where...

We have 5 trucks leased on to FedEx and our one team parked the truck at the Pilot at Exit 209 I think off of 75 in Toldeo, Ohio. The Truck wasn't even their an hour and was towed at the cost of $400.31. Because of this we are asking our drivers to no longer fuel at Pilot anymore. We just...

Now that is sad. I guess I won't be stopping their anymore to get fuel. Always the little man that gets shaft. I'm sorry to hear those folks are losing their jobs to cut cost. It all goes back to the cost of fuel if you ask me. Drivers aren't eatting that much their because the high cost of...

1st of all I would like to say Happy New years to everyone on EO. Alot of things have Happened this year in this business and here are a few things to Remember. Expediters Online moves the Expedite Expo to the Roberts Center in Willington, Ohio and it was awesome. Con Way Now sell to Panther...

Well you could offer your driver a Flat 18% of everything and it comes out a few more dollars to them, but it a whole lot easier to do their settlements this way. My wife posted an add up for drivers or a team on EO and some sent her a nasty e-mail calling her a dumb A$$ for wanting to pay our...

I can E-mail it to who ever wants to see it because I tried to post it on here but it wouldn't let me do it. It won't be on the c-link until jan 2, 2007

Starting Jan 2, 2007 FedEx Custom Critical will use the new C-link macros so drivers can see the breakdown of the load they are offered. We got it in the mail yesterday and it looks really cool and it shows the FSC for deadhead and the loaded miles plus the tolls for the run. It's all broke down...

Speedco Well, we just took our one truck into the SpeedCo in West Memphis Ark and was told that an Oil change on our truck was $229.00 plus tax for a truck that holds less than 24 qts. I even talked to the guy on the phone and he said he didn't care what someone from Corp said he can only go...

Well, The plates are to go where your state tells you to mount them. I bet a Richfield, Ohio Cop a $100.00 that Ohio only has one plate because he was going to write a ticket for only having one plate on the truck. He wasn't so Happy when OSP told him that trucks over 26,000 lbs have only one...

George, not telling you how to run your trucks because you do a great of that and your one of the best owners at FedEx/Roberts Express that I have known over the years. By not making your drivers pay Work Accident Insurance that makes them employee's not contractors. I ran into this at the court...

Great post! Happy Christmas everyone as they say in England. posts like this are great for everyone no matter who you drive for.

Thanks Steve. I just think it's a win/win for everyone. I put this out on the table about 2 months ago for the drivers and then they came back to us because they thought it would be better for all of them. We gave them a choice.

I would have to say that JohnO is a very honest guy and I met him at the Expo this year and even sent him a copy of the lease we have our drivers sign. 85/15 sounds like a lease to own deal. Some can be good and some can be bad. It depends on how new the truck is. Everyone think that if an owner...
