Changing delivery times from straight through, to next day, or even later, have long been a point of contention among Roberts Express and then FedEx Custom Critical (FCC) drivers. Understanding the reason behind these changes has helped us maintain our sanity and lower the level of frustration...

That lady that leases trucks to Tri-State and her drivers must be in a virtual world if they think that no others get 60-65%. Of couse, if she pays 50% that would be a good deal only if she buys all fuel and tolls. I'd also be a bit leery of of the $86,000 to a solo van operator except for...

Unless you're driving a bull hauler, Greg's tongue-in-cheek comment about a cattle prod as a weapon, defensive or otherwise, in a commercial vehicle, should not be taken seriously, particularly if you stand a chance of getting a load to Canada. Electifying your vehicle handles or handholds...

Typically, FedEx Custom Critical requires vehicles to be no more than five years old before leasing them on. Once in, however, tractors are often kept on the lease for 10 or more years if they have a good track record. If your '99 is relatively low mileage and is serviceable, you should call...

Good comments Morningstar, but don't be fooled by wolves in sheep's clothing. A couple of years ago, there seemed to be a rash of con-men who would snatch a carrier specific hat from driver's lounges or elsewhere and pose as a driver from that carrier. They would walk around the truckstops...

Many carriers base their FSC on a formula that provides weekly adjustment of the rate so that truck owners will pay the equivalent of $1.20 to $1.25 per gallon of diesel fuel. The "big three" is a subjective phrase, but if you are including FedEx Custom Critical in the group, this carrier...

This thread was started as recognition of ATeam being the topic of an article in a trucking newspaper. It has been hijacked into a discussion of the EO code of conduct. Each is a good topic but let's get back on the topic of Coco's thread. The article to which she referred has excellent tax...

I'm guessing you copied fotos from your mail server to the forum. It might have worked better if you copied the fotos to your fotos program then brought them over here using the browse feature. When using large fonts I found it best to double the line spacing. Try again and preview before...

FYI This is a good example why the "preview Post" field is available. When posting pictures, large fonts and colors, it's helpful to preview before submitting

The Burgoo at the Moonlight Bar is as good as it gets. A pork or mutton stew in which your spoon stands up, it's so thick.

Great trip planner. Weather, traffic conditions and routing all in one.

I've been an independent contractor leased to a carrier so I have not had an employer for many years. The answer for me would be I'm self employed. Drivers who drive for and independent contractor leased to a driver should be treated like employees because they generally have no financial...

If you signed a lease in which you agreed to give them 2 wks notice, then you should do so. Be a professional, even if you think that they are not acting accordingly. Good luck with your next choice. Read up on the following: Swimming with Sharks

We think you should no longer keep your mouth shut. Open it and repeat after me..."Good-Bye". I doesn't matter for which company you drive, you should know how much they are willing to offer you to haul their freight before you accept the contract. It's unimaginable to me that a customer...

Welcome to the forum dedicated to the discussion of issues related to, and affecting FedEx Custom Critical (FCC) contractors, drivers and carrier representatives. The first order of business is to remind FCC drives and contractors that our carrier publishes a weekly bulletin in the form of an...
