    Thanks FedEx Custom Critical

    Wondering Dave what you mean by this comment? And before "the fawn and bunnies" come out, I wonder how many left Panther or Landstar only to return later? We have also seen an assortment of trucks in the FCC parking lot and some with many different shades of logos on their trucks. Some trucks...

    What happened to Laredo outbound freight?

    Do not forget the key to expediting is patience! Laredo will really test your patience more than any other city I think. There are some great loads that come out of there if you are lucky enough to be there at the right time. If we deliver on a Friday and get no offers we also head north but...

    Get on the phone!

    We have our QC set to shut down after one hour so the phone feature to us is a must have. I love the fact that you do not have to pay to receive the messages and if you have free messages with your phone you pay nothing for this great service.

    How Do You Get Home?

    We usually go home about every two to three months depending on what is happening at the time. We schedule all of our truck maintenance, health appointments and any other appointments for that time. One we have started setting dates for being at home we start watching our loads so as to not...

    How Many Know Their Cost Per Mile?

    In expediting you cost per mile rules you life and those that do not know it are flying by the seat of their pants. As the load pay tightens up the cpm becomes more and more important. I do not think very many people know their true cost per mile. Seems as if some people we talk to say they...

    Favor of Postcards

    You know Greg I figured the kids would probably love the Jackalope from Texas but I imagine you are right the teacher would probably like state capital postcards or state outlines. I think though when they get a postcard of Phil's truck they will very impressed with the flag mural and the...

    Thanks FedEx Custom Critical

    You guys FedEx Custom Critical is a huge office not just a few dispatchers sitting around doing their jobs. It is a big business with what I would imagine to be over 500 people working there and that does not include the upper floor which is another division of FedEx. What is the big deal with...

    YES OVM any state will do just fine she just wants post cards from all over the United States. I think if she was to get one from Canada she would be even more thrilled. You know third graders are pretty easy to impress!

    Thanks FedEx Custom Critical

    Glad you are finding so much at Panther to your liking. One thing we have never found at the FedEx Custom Critical office though is to be treated as if you are not welcome. We have found that we are treated very well. What I see as the home office is just that we are going to a very secure...

    Good News our CC's are back

    India like you I was thrilled about the CC's being just CC's but now my concern is how many trucks each CC has. They sure did pick the cream of the crop of the CC's we are familiar with though.

    When we see those numbers we just laugh. Those numbers are a two year average and we have found them to be low for our size truck.
