    The FedEx Image

    When I was with FedEx Image seemed to mean everything to them. My latest delivery by FedEx Ground was made in a rusty van with no identification. Also the driver wearing a shirt with unknown colors to me <iframe width="560" height="315" src="" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    AIRBNB

    Anyone using AIRBNB? When I was active in Expediting, I think it would have been very useful. I looked a a possibility of a cheap place to flop. I chose Charlotte NC to see what might be available for a Van/strt. Lots of choices. I especially liked the "Comfy Couch" for $25 ($32 w/tax)

    Cab Card Memories

    Anyone remember "Cab Card"? It was the personal messaging service we could use on the Qualcomm. You could use funds from your Comchek account to send text messages. This may still be available through some carriers, and I understand "Cab Card" prepaid cards may still be sold at truckstops...

    Ten years ago I had my truck wired for Shore Power. I was sure with the way Diesel prices were rising it was just around the corner WRONG!!! Of the places I normally travel there are none. I still love it to plug in when at home. Only thing I can figure is that Truck Stops love for us to burn...
