We all talk about these low rates on load offers that when no FCC truck takes the load they are offered out to outside carriers. We all like to talk about the poor load offers how about lets talk about the great load offers we get even with a 500 mile dead head on them? Do you guys really...

Dave what in the world are you talking about? I do not know anything about bid wars? Pitting drivers against drivers? The system is no different then it was before. More drivers see the load at the same time but the dwell time is the main issue on who gets the load. We also can refuse 20...

Hey Leo I think he is almost as cute as you! Congratulations on your new grandson.

Going of subject a tad I am getting ready to post a blog about a really clean nice TA shower in Las Cruces, NM.

Hey Layout glad you guys are fine if a little rattled!

Greg when you left FCC I do not believe you got your escrow money back until you returned your QC and also showed proof you had removed the signs from your truck? FCC covers the cost of repair to the QC or should I say we cover the cost to the repair to the QC with our weekly fees. With the...

So as I see it nothing will change with the EOBR.

Anyone in Vegas for the weekend or will be attending the Great West Truck Show next week? We are here way to early at the TA.

Layout we are going to pay for this one way or another. It will either be in QualComm fees or in another fee. Many states do not have a personal income tax but their bills are the same as a state that has a personal income tax. These states raise the money with a different tax.

Layout how do you drive around now on your 34 hour restart on the paperlogs? (or would you rather not say) The laws have not changed with the EOBR it just does not let you have creative logging anymore. While pre assigned on a load my interpretation would be you are under a load. It will be...

Someone has to pay to have the QualComm installed. What happens when the new truck gets the QualComm installed and quits the next day? Who covers the cost of this? Who pays for the cost of the QualComm when a truck leaves a company and cuts all the cables and mails it back and does not have...

Dave what is the personal conveyance time at Panther that is allowed? What is the criteria before you can take personal conveyance time? Do you know if there has been any problems with this? How did any company handle personal conveyance time legally before the EOBR?

Dave, you are right so why would the company not want to protect their interests by curtailing our personal conveyance to minimize their liability. Nothing has changed with the EOBR from paper logs we just now being held accountable when our truck moves.

FedEX signs I am sure looks really good to a lawyer as they have deep pockets. Us as O/O are small beans as we have very small pockets. I know when push comes to shove I am going to be looking our for our concerns not FCC they are on their own. I believe that this is a two way street and we...

One of the problems I see with personal conveyance is we have these HUGE FedEx signs all over our truck. If we get in an accident while on personal conveyance who are they going to sue? Can we explain to the lawyer we were just going down to the grocery store for a loaf of bread? Will the...

It is a FedEx Custom Critical thing and another way of direct communications. Virginia has done a few of these on the Driver Tech we tested and we have had a couple on the new QC. In the future in-cab training may be done this way instead of having to come to Green. There are lots of neat...

Joe the new unit is $35.00 right now which includes the truck GPS. Scanning is available on the new QC but not turned on. At a later date this may be activated and we will then scan our bills directly into the company and no more TripPak. I like the ability of the new scanner to get .wav...

I know that Molly is an upper crust type dog and she does not acknowledge a cats presence even if he is dressed as nicely as Dingle will be.

Well yes the whackos should all be there! I am not so sure Bob will put himself in the whacko category as he is the calm one of Team Caffee. I am also hoping we will have Henry Albert at our BBQ again this year. He just scratches his head at us Expediters as we are different group of people...
