Currently in Texas. Had a small load for today but that got canceled. We called the customer to verify the address (one of the few times we were given a point of contact) and they had mentioned they needed a truck with a lift gate, which we do not have. So we called FedEx and they cancelled it...

If people are still reading then yea. Just been too tired the past few weeks. Some pain in the ass shipper and receivers. It was also tax time, so that was fun. Does anyone else use quickbooks? It gave me my estimated taxes due so far this year and the number was pretty low (under $1,000) and...

I think I'm gonna write in big bold letters "DO NOT LOAD PAST THIS POINT" on one of my load bars. That way when it's up they will know not to move it. I'd say maybe %10 of our loads we cannot go on the dock. They don't secure it either. So I pull forward and jump in the back and secure it...

So what does everyone else do when you are not able to supervise a shipper loading you, and never actually see the person loading you, and they load everything all the way to the front of the truck despite your load bars being set up at the half way point? This is what happened to us today...

And another.. I'm the passenger btw. Apparently there is an accident involving a tractor trailer that has the interstate closed

That moment when you have enough time in traffic to find yourself on the traffic cam..

Sounds like that could have been a disaster. Glad it doesn't appear to have gone that way.

Might be a long update but here goes.. I debated weather or not to even make this post because I wasn't sure I wanted to hear any negative comments about our truck, then I realized I really don't care. For those of you following along. We have had issues with our apu starting or running when...

Being as safe as possible. We're 1 of about 50 trucks on the side of the interstate right now. All for the same reason I imagine ..out of hours and need to take a break. Side note: it would appear hell itself has froze over and our APu started! The other josh will understand, I'll update...

Started this journey at 9am. Gone a whole 300 miles...

From what I've seen everyone else does the same thing we do. Hang them on the wall at the tail. The ends of the straps end up touching the floor and that's when people set things on them. I've since started to spread them out where they hook to the wall to keep them off the floor. Maybe just...

When we sit at the shipper we typically know why. They are either not ready, product isn't finished yet, waiting for quality control or something like that. I always go inside and prod them for information. I like to be there when they are loading and will be pretty persistent. It seems most...

Ok. Question for the smarts out there. The wife currently has 16 hrs and 24 minutes left on her 70hrs 8 days ago she drove 4hrs and 50 min, and was on duty for 6hrs and 6mins. Now. At midnight how many hours does she get back? Just the driving time of 4hrs and 50min? Or both driving hours...

Lmfao. Ridiculous. Another fun fact I overlooked. It would appear the wife may actually run out of hours on her 70hr week. May have to do a reset once we get to Texas. Assuming we even make it on time.

Uuggghhhh. Been sitting at the shipper since 9am this morning. "Should only be a little while before we're ready" he said. Currently 1:20pm.. granted we are getting paid while we wait here, we have a 1500 mile trip ahead of us and I was hoping to get an early start. We were suppose to deliver...

Correct. You use your badge number and a password they give you (you can change to something more convenient) to log into c-link. If you got the paper log down, the c link is cake. Pretty much stupid proof now. If you sit for more than a few minute it auto bumps you to "on duty not driving", if...

We did our drug tests and pictures there. I believe the drug test comes back before you are done with orientation. Our id's did. Yea, we do surface freight. We have a load board and so does white glove, but they are seperate. Surface freight cannot see white glove but white glove I believe can...

Grabbed some small loads. (AR to MS, then MS to IL) and just accepted a load from Kenosha wi (our home town) heading to Texas.

If I remember right, FedEx sends you on a "practice run" for white glove. I think you may travel from one place to another keeping your box whithin a specific temperature range. There will be a monitor on the truck that will print out a piece of paper to let whomever know what the temps were...

Awesome that he is allowing you to return with the truck to get what you need. Sounds like a good owner. FedEx is pretty good also. I think you guys will be happy with them. White glove is going through some changes right now with a load board. From my understanding is they were normally...
