>This whole thread is rather confusing. Dave if you seen the way FedEx settlement sheets are now you would understand what we are talking about. Since the new FSC program rolled out it takes us about 1 hr and 1/2 longer to do drivers settlements. It's just easier on everyone in the long run...

Yes Marvin you was paid that way, but I'm sure your 1st owner had his reason and we have our reason's. But you also had to buy a bus ticket to his house everytime too. That's why he gave you 20% of everything.

Going to be home for Chritmas this year and we are asking our Drivers to be home by Friday the 22 of Dec. No load is worth being away from home during the holidays. We had a team that got a load to Alaska over thanksgiving but it wasn't really worth it. If any of you get offered a load to Alaska...

Congrats T-Hawk and Merry Christmas to you and your Wife.

>Why would you pay a percentage of the FSC to the drivers if >you are paying for the fuel? Did I understand that right? Yes we pay the fuel and tolls, the drivers pay the work accident insurance. Each driver gets 20% of the gross of the truck minus the FSC and tolls money. By doing it this...

Thanks Leo and Cheril We try to listen to the people who drive for us. Sometimes not everyone agrees on everything but for the most part we have some great driver's in our fleet.

I have had about 8 of the 10 drivers we have want to change thier pay from 20% of the gross of the truck each, minus the FSC to 18% of everything. Our one driver made a program up for our fleet and it keeps the numbers both ways and it comes out almost the same but just a few more dollars to the...

Great Post. I have my share of the Personal Attacks. After having Dreamer removing my old name because of it. I wish I hadn't. This site and EW are great places to learn the business and get to know folks. I was a mod at EW but had to step down as a Mod because it took up alot of my time. We...

RE: Toyota plant in Buffalo, WV-- Beware expediter It all comes down to the word GOAL. Get out and look before you back into a dock.

After looking at the pictures of what went wrong it was not Cummins fault at all. What was found was the Freightliner dealer didn't put the cam gear on the right way causing the Key way to the cam to get loose and then caused the truck to get out of time, which caused the Valves to tap on the...

Well, I will stay that Roberts Express/ FedEx Custom Critical has gave the Fleet more money over the years. Back in 1995 when I started a full rate C load paid a $1.31 per mile to the truck and a full rate D load was $1.41 per mile and back then we got load offer's from the big 3 that wanted you...

Rich it's a 2000 Fl 80 that had 590,000 miles on an 8.3 Cummins that had just had the top end rebuilt. Dunbar87 I see you didn't understand what I was saying. TA Shops handle small repair's on trucks very good for the most part. Lights, oil change's, battery's, alternators, When it's 1 am and...

Just tell let folks know about Cummins Motors. We bought a used Freightliner truck a few month back from some great folks from Texas and the own took very good care of the truck and showed us all the repairs that was done to the truck. Well, after about 4 months of having the truck the nightmare...

RE: American Trucking Associations pushed HOS regs THE ATA IS A BIG JOKE. Last year FedEx Custom Critical wanted to send me and a few other drivers to the state truck drivng competition in Columbus, Ohio and FedEx was told they could only send one driver from each Class. When other companies...

RE: My week in dispatch. Favoritism? Definitely no GREAT POST !!! Leo I have to agree with you 100% I have sat at the home office with FedEx dispatcher's and they can't even dispatch a single driver on a 530 miles load if they are more than 20 miles away. Because of the 550 mile rule. If the...

Coco That would be to much for FedEx corp to think about. afew years back my cousin Adam ask them why they didn't have a car on with Nascar? They told him that he needed to talk to the marketing dept at Corp. So Adam Called them and left them a message that went like this. He said why are you...

Yea our one truck has the twin towers in it. The lead driver is 6'7 and his co driver is 6'5 talk about a basket ball team lol. And DaveKC yes they do leave a nasty mess on the box. I had to have a box painted when I put a C unit on with TST.

DaveKC the Const has nothing to do with Panther. They are putting a Dollar Store and a Doctors Office up in front of Panther on the corner of Rt 3 and Panther Parkway. And those numbers are facts as of 5/31/2006 right before Panther Bought out Con Way. The FMCSA wouldn't lie, It's open to the...
