John, Please post how your weekend went and lots of details! Sure sounds like you had lots of great plans. Wish we had been a lot closer to you!

Phil, The actual run counts are not given by FedEx. When you talk to other drivers you will find that the counts are usually above 170 loads for the year. You can win as many times as you can keep an above 70% acceptance and in-service rate. You have to stay above a 98% pickup and delivery...

I can remember when everyone wanted to know why do we need 1 meg, and then why would anyone need a gig?

Sleeping was our worst surprise also. We both had never had any problems sleeping in the passenger seat while the other was driving but in a bed that is a different story! We where so worried about getting enough sleep that we stressed ourselves and couldnt sleep. Something about having all...

With FedEx we can refuse as many loads as we want and still keep our current position in line. The only way our current position is changed is if a less then 75 comes into the area and they will be put at the top of the list.

Actually a truck stop north of Richmond VA.

RE: How much money can a driver make working for a Part of Git R Done is not always saying "I wont" those words really hurt your bottom line. You have the I wont run Canada loads, I wont go to NYC, I wont run the NE, I wont run short loads, I wont .... those are what really get to the bottom...

theoldprof Good Luck on your retirement. I hope you have either a spare room or have added on for all of your quilting materials. That is a great project and a really fun hobby to get into.

RE: How much money can a driver make working for a Hey BBB good post and good to hear from you! Missed you at the truck show.

Greg you have a wise wife.

We are giving them the ACE manifest and also the commercial invoice with the PAPS number on the commercial invoice. I am having a hard time understanding how the ACE manifest is going to replace the commercial invoice with the PAPS number. We have never been asked for the BOL but we have it...

I would have to agree on that brown!! The purple promise works pretty darn good for us! And I am probably prejudice but our truck even looks good in purple and blue!

are12 I agree with you 100% We have had several incidents like you talk about and they ALL could have been worse. We have always been able to be thankful about something. We can look back over our lives and some of our hard times and realize we learned something from that time that made us...

The lead sheets seem such a waste of time but if they want it they will get them! Do you know what the next step will be in this process with paperwork?

I have been thinking about this and how to make it better but have not made any progress. We also have an umbrella and that does help when just walking into the truck stop or if Bob is chaining! I hold the umbrella and flash light he chains great arrangement. FedEx has what is a re usable...

The fee for filing our corporate taxes where different then filing our individual and you need to take that into account when planning your expenses for the year. Some states do not have state taxes so this also affects the fees.

The 12 and 12 also is very easy to figure on your logs books less room for violations. Steve you know as well as I do you do what you have to do. As you can see we have a dog so we get very few DDPS loads.

We tried the route of having someone close by that said they knew about truck taxes and we did get burned. They did know about truck taxes just not over the road truck taxes and all the great deductions we can take. We will probably never go to Johns office as there is not need. We talk on...

We are with FedEx so can only speak for what we know of FedEx. We are a D Unit and we have a pusher axle with a 96" sleeper. We added the pusher axle as we could not gross a 13,000 load without it. With FedEx and in Express you need a D unit in our opinion. Last year we ran 62 C Loads and 78...

We have never met John Turner but after a few conversations with him and also with his son Johnny we where convinced we have an account for as long as we are business owners! It wont take long talking to him or Johnny to relieve all of your fears.
