I agree when it is an important family event you need to be there. Being on the road you do miss a lot so when a big event comes up you just cannot miss it. No dispatcher can sweet talk me when I am on my way to see our kids! I had to laugh at your part of the new recruits just being kids! I...

5. FedEx requires a van 6 years old or younger, don't remember a limit for Panther. The following is from the contractor helper and this is to sign on a van with FCC: Required Truck Specifications B-D Units: Not older than five model years (date of manufacture). After you have signed on and...

There is a double edged sword expediting. We need all the exercising we can get but unless you are out of service, out of hours, or pre dispatched it is not a wise idea to get very far from your truck. We have decided that we had plenty of time and ordered a meal to only pay for a meal we did...

FCC is a business partner not an employer when you are no longer happy with your business partner it is time to sever the relationship and move on to a new business partner. If you were the owner of a business that sold goods and you had to raise your price to support your product your...

I believe there are many vans that will run for the new van rate and make a profit. We are all independent business owners and each of has a different break even line. What you are suggesting is a strike and while you think it sounds good it is not going to happen. You are being given plenty...

We did not use a heavier blade on our truck nor on either one of the girls cars. I wonder if they were put on at the right angle? Did you put the wipers on your Volvo or your old truck? We have some friends that have a 2007 Volvo that had no problems last year and have there new set on for...

Steve, It is .85 for the run miles and then the dh was raised to .15 after the first fifty miles for DHPL and DHPU.

You bring up a couple of interesting points one is fuel drove you out of business twice. I have a hard time understanding that statement. If you were getting no fsc and taking all loads and freight was to cheap then that will drive anyone out of business. I also wonder if the fuel prices have...

Hey Pjjjj he just might after this trip! He though should have some pretty good chances to keep moving out there as he will not be just wanting the long loads going back east. I am hoping Leo you will not be sitting long enough to worry about your APU.

Broom is as happy as a squirrel in a Pumpkin and he is now in the “Big Truck League” and really seems to have found his niche.

Hey Cheri was talking to Susie yesterday who also reminded me today is your big day! Congrats and may all of your birthdays be as much doing what you love to do! Have on OKC! Maybe it will be warmer there.

How I wish I had super powers in getting load offers! No super power but somewhere in all this software you check a box that sends you email notification to receive posts on the forums that you are subscribed to. I thought you had a good point as there are two sides to this situation and...

Well heck you guys are really good!! I only got a 6 and so far Bob has not seen the humor in this Love test! or we have been married so long he will just use my test results!

You might be an expediter when you are driving down the highway in personal car and do not get a green light so you start to go into the scale... You might be an expediter when you almost break your arm when you reach up to get s snack out of the storage above your head... Yep Bob did that...
