We will have to chime in with everyone else on how well you handled this and you also get to see the really good side of EO. You are also right in calling this a life style and not a job. If anyone just considers this a job in no time at all they are going to be miserable.

I think the real question here is as drivers is there anything we can do to be better representatives of FedEx Custom Critical? Do you do your part to let the customer know of all the services we offer?

We had so many customers ask us questions we asked FedEx Custom Critical for brochures on the different divisions and what they do. The brochure breaks down T-Val to Express and we have given many of these out with the little magnets with phone numbers. We our the visual contact for the...

Leo just finally got what you are saying! I am sure the centramatics will help with the tire wear. Rich we do not have the super singles on the pusher axle yet but that will happen one of these days probably in next years budget.

There are two ways of looking at this problem. One is, White Glove bans animals and if you are going to disregard this and carry an animal who else and what else will you lie about? It is a simple case of honor when you say you do not have an animal in your truck don't have one. As far as the...

Nope Leo it doesn't help we have centramatics on all of our axles. We rotated different tires back to that axle also thinking the originals where out of round. Nothing did any good with that hop. With this being our first lift axle we just assumed they all came without shocks and never...

From day one we have had a problem with our pusher axle hopping when we reach a certain speed. This usually would happen going down a hill and was very frustrating for the person trying to sleep and the driver always trying to stay below this land mark speed. While talking to another driver...

That is a good one and I am sure I would have had to pull over just to laugh!

Thanks for posting this lisalewis as my Dell does get uncomfortably hot on my lap and in the summer it is brutal.

unorthodoxneon I think we could have a snail race then! Our top speed is 59 mph. We have worked and worked with our fuel mileage and our truck does not like to go fast. Our greatest expense is our fuel and we do everything we can to lower that cost even if it means getting flipped off all of...

I am probably overly cautious but I cannot imagine putting anyone in my bread and butter! No matter how we have done for the year our truck has never made enough income to let someone else have a chance of wrecking her and they walk away and get into another truck. If you want to go duck...

If California was to enforce that law they would no longer have to worry about smog or any vehicles on the road!

RE: An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening Ok I know Marginal Producer was not asked of us but still this is our thoughts: Marginal Producers do not know their bottom line or what it takes to move the truck profitably. They have a attitude that most loads do not pay enough so they sit...

RE: An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening I can only speak from our point of view but I imagine I will speak for many teams we need a little more room to stay in our comfort zone. No we don't have the super sleeper and no we do not plan on buying one but we do have a 96" after...

RE: An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening greg334 You are a solo driver correct?

RE: An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening I have to disagree. You are not going to see smaller rides you are going to see smarter business owners. What you seem to forget is with the bigger sleepers and the smart business owner is you have to have balance. Most owners of the bigger...

Don't you just love those loads? Least the fog in a way helped you out by slowing you down some more!

Made my mouth water! Jeez I hate reading posts like this and not just being able to just run down to the store and get it.

Jay I hope that you can recover from this huge loss and make this truck become profitable. Stay positive and focused and claw your way out of this hole as you have the truck leased to a good company.

That is a true statement till you get on the Dave Ramsey or Kevin Rutherford way of life. No problems going to the mailbox now!
