    Goodbye FedEx (again)

    No they were not. It was the last week for one. The problem is there's always going to be someone ready to take that job. The guy that stayed is on FB. He keeps getting loads to Texas sits 4-5 days and loads out for 55-56 cents. After fuel there's nothing left. One load per pay cycle don't cut...

    I looked up the codes. The "P32" isn't a flash as he stated its for water intrusion in the battery area. The ipc is "instrument panel controller".

    Goodbye FedEx (again)

    They pay .85 to "B" unit they broker the load out for less. Companies like Blair will lease a van to a new guy. The driver pays for fuel the owner pays for major repairs. I talked to a couple of guys from there and they averaged the previous month 250 +\- for a week after expenses. They would...

    Cargo Van Dodge ProMaster

    . Picked up the van on Friday. The flex plate was cracked but the dealer is certain it cracked because the bolts came loose. I'm not sold on it yet. According to the repair order almost every bolt was loose on the flex plate and torque converter. Time will tell. They also did 4 flashes on the...

    Goodbye FedEx (again)

    Been trying to get on with load 1. no openings, FedEx is becoming the if not already biggest broker in the expeditor business. All the bull they preach about the purple promise, wear your FedEx clothes keep your van looking new. Make FedEx look good. Then they broker loads to vans that are wore...

    3 offers yesterday all went to another truck. Funny because according to the status report I was the only truck in the area. Last one they called me to see if I was interested in a load. I excepted the load. She said let me tell the shipper we have a truck and I will call you right back. She...

    Three months of flat rate

    Got home last night had a msg from a FedEx recruiter. He said he was told I may have a truck that I might want to lease with Fedex?! I leased on March this year. Are they getting hard up for vans? I wonder if they actually loaded there own lease vans instead of trip leasing most of their...

    I'm going to try and get a new transmission and torque converter. I agree something is not lined up right. I just spent some time with two promaster owners. They love the vans as I do but are really unhappy with Chrysler. The one guy needs a left head they have none anywhere. A sticky valve...

    Flywheel #2 last one was 19500 +\- this one made it to 45450. That should put the third one at around 60-65,000. I might get the 4th before the warranty ends. I wonder if Ford is using a car power tran in their new van?
