The funny thing about this situation is not 2 monthes ago most FedEx contracters did not care about the FSC because you only looked at the load offer and made a choice to take it or refuse the load. Some loads had a FSC and other didnt it and you did not know unless you asked or when you got...

Nice!! I am going to have to try that one.

mrgoodtude I hope that all works our for you and you can stay and if that doesnt work your next segment of your life will be great. We are also going to miss your posts so stay in touch either way.

We have not been here as long as you have but we still feel our carrier is trying to do their best for us and keep our wheels rolling. Our loads since the beginning of the new lease have been on a roller coaster some good runs and some bad runs. Feel like in the long run they will even out...

Thanks dieselphreak2K did not know about the free email updates!!

Nope that is not the one I mean but that one looks like a good one. We have The National Truck Stop Directory the truckers friend.

As owners of a D truck the second most important item we have in the truck is our truck stop guide. Our first item is our laminated commercial carriers atlas and then the truck stop guide. You will use both items constantly. Every day you will use the Truck Stop guide to plan on where to...

We have seen the other side of the coin on this issue! We took a discounted automotive load that normally would not have had a FSC. With the added FSC on this load it brought the ppm up to what is an acceptable run for us to take. This benefited us, the customer and also the dispatcher who...

Last winter we chained several times and every time we had to chain it was really not needed. I believe the chain law came into affect just to slow the cars down. We have drove on a lot worse icy roads and snowy roads where I felt we should have pulled over and waited. You just have to watch...

Our accountant wants either Quik Books or Quicken which ever you are most comfortable with. I think you should also check with your accountant.

How do those work? I have not wanted to put ice cube trays in the truck due to the mess they can make. Do you have to make the ice first and then put the cubes in the bag? I sure would love to have ice as there is nothing better then iced tea.

Just seeing the trailer Chrome Shop Mafia brought to the Expo was worth the trip!

I have been fighting with the floor boards of the truck trying to keep them clean. Does anyone have a good solution for this? We have been running is a lot of rain and at times it just feels as if you are in a losing battle. Any suggestions would sure be appreciated.

We have had Sprint service for several years and it does just keep getting better, we also have Verizon and Cingular and it really seems that they all work the about the same.

Earlier this year we had to chain going over Donner and then spent the afternoon in Gilroy CA in our shorts. This time of year is starting to get like that where we have every outfit imaginable in the truck. Takes up lots of room but you never know.

We also use US Bank and TAB Bank and are happy with both.

Greg I believe the fees are changing somewhat. This month to load the card once was 1.55 the next time was 1.22 and the last time was 1.00. It appears as if after using the card three times though you are still having to pay the 1.05 fee. We have started fueling as much as possible at the...

You cannot look at the new changes on a load per load base you will have to give it time. A month at a minimum but I believe it will even take longer then that to know for sure. The best bet is to know exactly what you need to make per mile and then make sure you run for a profit and not at a...

Hey Jack I agree with you have the co-driver do or as I say the better half!

Boy Rich do I agree with you 100% not only should they be sleeping under a bridge they look like there where sleeping under the bridge before they arrived at the customer. I wish there was some way to get control of that situation we are proud of the company we work for and like to make a good...
