What a fun place to send a postcard from! She I am sure will love it!

Bruno you must not have recieved this memo a few years ago about FSC: Fuel Surcharge on All Shipments You will receive a fuel surcharge that will pay you a flat rate per mile on all shipments. No matter what customer you are serving, you will receive a fuel surcharge. Fuel Surcharge on All...

We have always been told move to the area of the country you hate the most and you will never go there. I think there is a lot of truth in that statement.

Hey Dan if you can get her a card from Alaska I am sure she would love it! Molly also said to mention she is not thrilled you have called her another girls name! She does send her regard though with her nose slightly in the air!

A thank your from Kelly who the class is now in awe of! A thank you to everyone from Mrs. Glenn’s class and Kelly of Academy of the Sacred Heart, we are all enjoying all the postcards and looking up where they come from. You guys have the coolest job and get to go all over the place. We will...

I think Bruno explained basically why FedEx Custom Critical went to the Load Opportunities instead of each truck getting ten minutes to decide all trucks who receive the load opportunity get ten minutes to decide at the same time. The customer gets the best service and all trucks that were...

Wow Moose that 15 minute window really adds a lot of stress I would be a nervous wreck over that. The shorter the load the less time you have. When we are on loads less than 300 miles we rarely stop for anything. As Steve has said though on the longer runs we have more than enough time to get...

Not only does the slower speed help your fuel mileage it helps your stress level. We have found that driving slower reduces our stress level and at the end of our shift we are not exhausted and uptight about fighting with traffic. We do not fight with traffic anymore we just roll along. When we...

One of the reasons we love expediting is the customers! More often then not we are dealing with a different type of customer and customer mind set then we were driving for USX. We are also treated very different by the company we are leased to then we were at USX which in turn makes us even...

Pelicn that is one my huge pet peeves also. I am slowing down easily so as not to disturb Bob trying to sleep and a car has to get right in front of me so I end up braking harder than anticipated. I also have to wonder about the mothers that do this to their children and it seems it is usually...

After reading Pelicn’s post on escort loads gone badly I thought I might bring up the other side. We have done very short escort loads to over 2000 mile escort loads and overall I would say they have gone pretty well. We have been lucky enough to do escort loads with friends and still be friends...

Pelicn I look at it this way; we are business people first and then truckers second. We are pretty darn proud of both titles though and think we really have the best of both worlds.

We have been relocated often by Vicki in Express planning and when she asks us to relocate we jump on the relocation. She has proven to us over and over that we are much better off following her lead then just sitting where we are. We used to ask for a Pro Number to move but found like Steve...

Ok I have to brag!! Bob has always been able to beat me at soccer but the other day I relaxed and just concentrated on the TV. I missed one ball on the beginner level and was not hit by any flying shoes or panda heads! Score 500 and I had to go get Bob to come look at the screen. We have...

Ok I have to admit Bob is the one that used to clean off the back of the truck not me so he is very pleased to not have to do that anymore. I like being able to drive on two lane roads and not feel as if I am going to be blown off the road when another truck blows by. I also like being able to...

Broker I think you have been thinking a lot and have come up with some great conclusions. You will do well!

Thanks Lawrence I was wondering about that! After watching the last accident I posted I am not wanting to "watch" anymore.

OVM I thought you had added them last year but was not positive. We will also be added them to our next truck we are not going to run without them.

OVM are you saying you have never added the AirTabs? after all this time......

http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/32246-airtabs-expo.html Here is a pretty good thread on AirTabs with pictures! Steve there are several trucks at FCC with AirTabs just on the tractor. If you want a contact number for them PM me and I will give it to you. They...
