She is also our CC so you know what I am saying when those two are together it should be a riot! They are both a lot of fun.

If you are anywhere near Memphis this week look him up! He and Tonya who is a CC will be in the area. They will be at the Petro on the 20th from 12:00 to 4:00 for a meet and greet. Should be fun as they are both characters and fun to be around.

Well as aweful as it sounds we could just go into all the scales. Just think of all the fuel wasted by slowing down and then having to speed up once again to get out of the scales! We have not seen the letter yet either on how PrePass is changing and the new rates. Cannot make a decison...

I am sure they will let us know by the weekly email and a letter to the house about when the change will happen. This change was initiated by PrePass and not FCC. It should not be a big deal to change over but it does sound as if the OOIDA discount will get us the best rates now.

I hope your friend before he sells all of his toys talks to other T/T solo drivers. I have never heard of a maintenance program at FedEx Custom Critical. It sounds like he is either being told a bunch of malarkey or he is telling you a bunch of malarkey.

layoutshooter sounds like you do not need to worry about it. No more settlement deductions. The deduction was just on PrePass not on any of the combo passes.

Cute story! I bet that duck does put a smile on a lot of faces.

Ok I see what you are saying chefdennis. We get charged .50 when we use the card for fuel and that is easily made up in the discounts we get. I would rather see someone do that then to use a credit card and not pay off the balance. I was so against advances it really took that couple some...

Chefdennis Oh how I would have agreed 100% with you on getting an advance on our fuel cards before we started this. We were very lucky a couple got hold of us and had a heart to heart talk with how you use a fuel card and why you use a fuel card. My opinion was an advance is a horrible thing...

jjohnson48 If you truly believe what you have wrote you needed to move on the day you decided you came to that conclusion. If you even think this is happening pop into the office when near Green and ask to sit with a dispatcher and watch for an hour or two. Have a free lunch or breakfast...

You do not have to worry about us as we would not even apply for such a dishonorable job in these times. Unions had a place but they no longer have a place. The reason getting hurt on the job is less at a union shop is because you first have to work. I am sure there are good union places out...

This is an interesting survey and love the idea of Electonic On Board Recorders or hate the idea let your voice be heard: Electronic On-Board Recorders (EOBRs)

We just carry an extra set of wipers and change them out as needed. We do not like streaky windows and this always happens on the drivers side. We also use the -40 windshield wiper fluid and have never had it freeze.

Oh Turtle please tell me this in not true.....

It has been a nice convenience to have this as a settlement deduction and I hate to see the price go up but the unit is still worth the cost.

Right now is the perfect time to figure out what it really costs you to run the truck and what your rate per mile needs to be. While you are getting your taxes ready to be done look at your expenses and how many miles you drove. You can cut your costs and still make money. I agree with...

Do you know what your rate per has to be to break even? Many E units 0/0 can make it on .85 that know their costs and how to run a lean business. You need to find work on your rate per mile and also what you need per day to survive. A blanket statement that no D trucks can run for .85 a...

You are 100% right on what you are saying get out there and learn what you can from many different sources. Take what you learn and apply it to your business. We had to change our business model when the price of fuel sky rocketed, now with the slump we will once again change our business...

I hope you guys all get really good paying loads and get out of the artic areas! I am cold down here in Birmingham and it is 14 right now!

Well maybe getting out of Florida is really not a priority right now!
