Turtle I agree with you 100% I just cannot imagine calling in and saying we have dropped something off of our lift gate or we did not secure our freight well enough to handle a hard stop or turn. The money we are out is one thing but the blow to personal pride would stick with you forever...

We understand that FCC is running two dispatch systems at this time and the load opp refusals are on the new system. When you accept load this is shown on the old system. One of these days everything will be moved to the new system and then you should be able to see all the refusals counted...

With USX we had three load bars and if that didn’t hold the freight in then that is the way it was. We often picked up loads with only one load bar holding the freight or nothing at all and was a pre loaded sealed trailer. All of our loads had to be sealed, so often we never even saw the...

Bruno I thought you pulled all your trucks and the trucks you manage from FCC?

With chains on the top speed is 30 mph or at least that is what I have always understood. When I am driving with chains on 25 sometimes seems to fast.

I bet they just passed each other and am I glad you did that one from a very cool place in Indiana. I have had a terrible time trying to find a post card for that state. I have to be looking in all the wrong places.

We have always chained and continued on when the chain sighs are out. Each and every time we felt safer in those states who have the chain laws and use it. When we have our chains on everyone has to slow down and you can proceed at a slow pace. What I hate is when you are in a state on ice...

I cannot imagine the jolt of that stop! Boy they had to have hit rsomething eally hard.

I really thought we had sent one from Minnesota but it must have got lost in the mail. We have looked in two different places here in Indiana and have had not luck finding a card. We will keep trying though. Tell Diane thanks!

What the heck does color have to do with this election? The issues are the problems and I do not what to "Share the Wealth" especially my wealth.

If you will look closely at emergency vehicles and also school buses that have to drive in adverse weather you will often see them equipped with automatic chains. They are rather expensive but can sure help get you out of a bind. You can activate the automatic chains from inside the cab. The...

Well I hate to admit this but while we are looking for a house the proximity of health care is a consideration. On the road and ease of getting into Wal-Marts mean more than they should to us but when we are at home and we have choices going to Wal-Mart is a very low priority.

This is an email I received from my daughter today: Mom - here are the states that Kelly's class is missing. Tim (Nicki’s Boss) met with her teacher today...and she could not say thank everyone enough and she and the kids are so excited. She said this is the closest she has ever been to...

Wow those pictures are amazing! Thank you so much those pictures are sure appreciated.

I would love to go and see that mission again I was raised just south of there.

OTM I am sure you are correct in that statement but with the FSC the original contract can stay in place for the full term and then be renegotiated.

When I finally had an epiphany of why we have a FSC and it was a huge eye opener. I also thought that why have a FSC just charge the customer a certain price and get on down the road. When I finally realized that the loads are not booked one at a time but can be hundreds at a time and they are...

Wow Turtle you do have an eye! That is pretty cool.

One thing you forget to mention is that FedEx Custom Critical also pays us a FSC no matter what. If the customer does not pay a FSC we still get one. We get FSC after we deliver to where we are authorized to go wait for next load which sometimes in the west can be several hundred miles. There...

Turtle you are amazing as you got registered! I used your link looked like all went well but when I tried to log in received message login failed. So I will wait awhile and see what happens.
