RE: can a husband/wife team make any money driving We are not van drivers but I would suggest you do a search on Vans and look at how they are doing. From what we see on the forums most o/o are struggling in a van so I cannot imagine how you could make it as drivers. But read a lot of the...

I looked at our fsc we receive and I just looked at a short time but our fuel is costing us about 1.00. We have slowed down and done everything in our power to stay above 9 mpg so that our fuel will cost us less with the fsc FedEx Custom Critical gives us. We also watch where we fuel and with...

Moot not sure what kind my tire chains are! I just saw them and bought them they are slipped on over your shoes with a rubber strap. They work well unless you get into snow and the snow will suck them off. The problem with most things is you need something to get your from the truck to the...

x06col What makes you think they should PM us not that I mind if then do? They I am sure are not the only ones reading the forums and wondering if they can make it out here. They and everyone else needs to see all sides of the story. In any field something can go terrible wrong and you...

As you know with running a business the business dictates what you can and cannot do. If you go to work for an owner they will also dictate to you on when you can take home time and when you cannot. Since you are not from the field of trucking it might be in your best interest to really look...

There are a lot of people out here making a living doing this business and having a great time while at it. Spend time on here reading. If possible when you see an expediter spend time with them and get many views of many companies. If possible attend a workshop or the Louisville truck show...

RE: ok anyone of a good place for down & out exped Yes Greg we haul discounted loads but only if the price is right.

RE: ok anyone of a good place for down & out exped Dave that price includes Dead Head!

RE: ok anyone of a good place for down & out exped FedEx Custom Critical does not pay the same as Panther so the dead head for us is a different issue. We get fsc and paid deadhead miles. When we get a load offer we are told dead head miles and loaded miles. It doesn't take a rocket...

RE: ok anyone of a good place for down & out exped If you are the Owner of an modest express truck 1.20 all miles with fsc is doable as long as you watch your p's and q's. What does it cost to keep sitting? If you put hard numbers to your bottom line and once again I am talking O/O express...

Terry was correct but his prices are outdated. We are paid fsc for all authorized dh miles and loaded miles. Authorized dh is dh to pickup or dh to layover. The current fuel prices are: Van is 15 mpg $0.1400 Straight Truck 9 mpg at is $0.2330 E Unit 6 mpg at $0.3500 and west coast is even...

Our wish would be that fleet trucks and owners not be given preferential treatment over the one truck O/O. ie: Have to wait 6 months and have a good record before you get into White Glove much less T-Val Have to wait 6 months before you can apply for clearances

redytrk I am sure as soon as you brought this to FedEx Custom Criticals attention it was righted immediatly. Never have had the feeling they where out to get us.

We have run in heavy rain and the wipers still work the same as always even though they go across the slush buster. I am in my wildest dreams hoping that this winter that is all we see is rain! Ok I am in a dream world but when we do test them out I will let you know. I really hope this...

We had a problem with our curtains always moving away from the wall so Bob took a narrow piece of trim board. He sandwiched the curtain between the board and the wall and just nailed the in place. They no longer pull away from the wall! We also use bag clips to hold the curtains closed...

Phil, I have responded to your questions before and have asked for what you would do in the same situation and you have side stepped the question. So before I reply to this one I will ask: What would you ask for, and why?

This has gone on long enough and this thread was not started for this purpose! It needs to end enough bashing.

I am sure that will give the new team a real positive perspective on expediters. We would be more then happy to talk to them if you want to PM me I will send you back some of our information.
