I agree completely, what about the custom build project do you deal with a dealership or someone else? Sent from my SCH-i705 using EO Forums mobile app

Thanks a lot zorry for the dipstick idea now I have a blown engine. Nah J/K I appreciate all of the feedback, as far as the sleeper it isn't that big a deal as long as it has a sink, decent size fridge, table, and plenty of storage it's fine. From what I've been seeing that is pretty common now...

I was just wondering what would be the best way to go about having a straight truck built to the exact specs you want. I see all these new trucks for sale but none of them have all the add-ons that I want. I would like to custom build a freightliner, possibly m2 or cascadia. And also would they...

I have a carrier apu unit and I was just wondering what is the best place to get it serviced. Does the TA service them or do I have to go to a dealer. Thanks

I've got a question? Say for example you haul a load that takes you a total of 7 hours to complete which is under the 8 hour rule, but then you drive to a layover location that is another 1 1/2 hours away do you still have to take the 30 minute off-duty break or does it only constitute when your...

I have a question for you, I'm pretty new to expediting. So according to the previous post we are allowed to get fuel off-duty? If so I didn't know this. Thanks

Yea, that makes sense thanks for the info.

No I don't have my iac yet in the process of getting it. Everytime I go home I don't have a problem getting freight but then they bring right back up north and I will sit. Not everytime but sometimes. So I don't understand if the freight is good where I live why do they keep bringing me north?

I live in Georgia.

Maybe there are too many vehicles out here now maybe the markets becoming flooded, maybe people like me new signing on is the problem. I don't know but I do know I hate sitting all weekend at a truck stop 800 miles away from home when I could be home with my family.

Thanks for the advice zorry , troaddog.

I stayed fairly busy in february, really busy in march, and april has been really slow I thought it was suppose to be picking up now.

I stayed in the hotel right down the street from orientation but if I could do it again I would have stayed in my truck and saved a lot of money.

I went through orientation at fedex about 3 months ago. The lunch is fantastic and all the drinks and snacks you want. Learned a lot but you should take some notes you will need to look back on them later. Good luck!

My truck broke down on me once under a load and my load was sealed (no transfer) so my only option if it couldn't be fixed quickly was to be towed to delivery about 180 miles. Thankfully it was a quick fix.

Thanks everyone for all the insight it really helps a newbie like me.

I try to sit it out and wait for a load, but I still haven't learned which areas to go to and which ones to stay away from. As for moving on my own I usually always go towards home or a busy express center.

I always try to go pretty much wherever dispatch says they need me. But I have been doing a lot of sitting especially over the weekends that's when I would like to get the long hauls. Maybe things will pickup soon. Thanks for all the feedback.
