I worked for ES so I know they DO have preferential dispatch. Straight from their driver managers mouths we were told more than once they have their own dispatch group and they handpick the loads for their trucks. They are guaranteed a certain amount of miles. When we worked for them, we NEVER...

All my thoughts exactly. It doesn't seem like such a large fleet who claims so many discounts and gets bare bones trucks has as much to risk as the smaller fleet owners who's business depends on their trucks getting loads. They usually are the owners who don't get trucks in bulk with discounts...

How is it, that a certain "large fleet" at Fedex has so much favor? I understand they have lots of trucks on with the company, but what about everyone else out here? I don't understand how these companies they are signed on with, cannot see why they lose so many good teams because of the games...

They must be paying for the expense to get and transport the truck, not paying him to do the work. That's what it sounds like at least. Like he doesn't have to pay out of pocket, he just isn't making anything.

Sweet! All that for a Lamp from the Dollar store??

To me, it sounds like an owner who will be micro-managing your every move. If you are an independent contractor, I wouldn't sign something saying I had to take every load offered or call my owner. There's usually not enough time to do that anyway.

As soon as I can go into a store and buy one, I'll be getting the 6 plus. I had a Samsung Note 3 and traded it for my iPhone 5s. I just can't really go back to anything but Apple. Noticed a huge difference in quality and performance. My note constantly froze up and was glitchy. I've never...

Thinking of changing residence to NC to family's but recently found out Nc requires workmens comp and won't accept the occ acc that companies charge for weekly. I've heard this can run really high since it goes off the revenue the truck brings in. Even though we don't own the truck, it goes off...

Yeah, not going to try and fix it. Just curious if anyone knew about them. I know it wasn't overloaded. I always check the appliances I use and I use way under what it can deal with. Something just decided to go haywire today for whatever reason. Guess the Max burton stove will be in use for the...

Does anyone know anything about inverters? We do not own the truck and are trying to find a solution to our issue if possible before getting a shop involved. We have a tripac generator with the 1800 watt inverter. Has worked perfectly until this afternoon. I exclusively use this inverter to cook...

Thank you TeamCaffee. It worked. It was bothering me so bad haha. I don't know why that wasn't showing up when I was messing with it. Whatever I did at first just kept telling me the stations and such.

Can't find the manual for the xm stereo in our 2013 cascadia. Does anyone know how to change the time? I usually can figure it out, but this one I can't. On the bottom right hand corner there is a picture of a little clock but if I hold it it just keeps saying alarm. I don't want an alarm...

We drove a Hino for about 9 months for an owner. It was brand new. It wasn't very powerful pulling up mountains and the seats were extremely uncomfortable. They gave me a lot of shoulder problems. Mechanically, we never had issues really. It was brand new though.

Thanks! That also gives me an idea of where the rental return is.

Renting a car to go to Fedex orientation where we will be picking up our truck. Anyone familiar with this airport in particular and no where a good spot for a straight truck to wait while I drop the rental car off? Hoping there is somewhere walking distance because I will be dropping it off...

All good info, thank you everyone for their input.

We don't have DOD. I've heard a lot of people say the pay is not worth the hassle on he military loads. Personally, we've done only constant surveillance for military stuff and it was kind of a pain, but not too bad. Thoughts on this?

Anyone work in the surface division for fedex? I was wondering if there's anyone I could PMwoth a few questions. Thanks

No, I'm allergic to dogs. We had a dog once with us, but I just didn't feel like it got the exercise it needed so we found a new home for her:(

Thank you, I think I will ask this potential owner for numbers to any current drivers. Maybe that will help me get a better feel for things. I have talked to lots of FedEx drivers and they all have really good things to say. We are excited to make the switch and eventually get into WG. I haven't...
