Very good post EB! Thanks for taking the time to write all of that out.

Part of the problem as I see it is that freight has picked up after a pretty long period of not much going on. We are still trying to get back into the grove of working harder which is a great thing and then keeping all of our other activities updated. The freight comes first then everything...

We are at HOME! We have not been home since the first part of September nor have we been able to even get close to here to run by and pickup our mail. So the first thing I am thankful for is to be home and help with preparing our traditional Thanskgiving Meal. I am thankful for a lot and here...

Bruno that is pretty hard to commit to this time of year. We are usually running pretty hard and know we will be taking a little extra time off during the holidays to be at home.

Yes you will have to pay for the road test. Your best reply will be to call in and get the answers you need straight from FedEx.

It is all about the driver and the drivers who watch their step they will be a wanted commodity by the companies. Our score will directly affect the carriers score and their insurance.

One of our biggest concerns with our class 7 is we do not have a jake brake and really look forward to having that in our next truck which will be a class 8. To us one of the other bonuses of having a class 8 is the longevity of the truck. Our class 7 truck rides really well with the lift axle...

Our Norpass does the exact same thing and it has done this since day one 3 years ago not a problem. Our PrePass only flashed green for a short period of time. We have since combined NorPass and Prepass and just have the NorPass in the truck. I would not worry about the green light flashing...

Jim I think you have the best plan overall!

We have not talked about these for a long time and I would like to throw the question out there. Do you use a deer whistle? Have you tried anything else that has helped? How do you try to stay away from deer?

We have been carrying our folding bikes for at least a year now and do not ride them as often as we should but when we get them out we really enjoy the bikes. I find lots of places to walk but have not had as much luck finding places to ride and I do not feel comfortable riding on the road.

I think maybe you took a wrong turn?

We attended last year and had a blast! The food was good, the games were fun and we met a lot of nice contractors. We felt the office staff really went out of there way to make everyone feel welcome.
