Nothing has changed with the less than 75 from before load opps and now with the load opps. The less than 75 are still desirable as you will still be one of the first trucks offered the load and have first choice at it. The less than 75 truck status can be offered a load within 300 miles...

We have used the Power Service for years and really like the product. We also only buy at the Wal-Mart due to price of the product. Bob bought a measuring cup at a motorcycle shop so he could accurately add the correct ounces. He added about ½ ounce per gallon. We mainly used the Power...

Not if you are the one to sign the exclusive use contract and stay when it is no longer profitable to do so. You make the decisions in your life and you always have the ability to move on when needed and the company always has the ability to leave you behind when you are not needed. We are not...

I like the idea that you give your truck number as that verifies who you are if anyone would want to check or even take the time to thank you if they just find the cane! Really great way to say Merry Christmas.

We call in after 24 hours and no load offers if on a week day and if on the weekend we wait till Monday to call. We will also make the decision to move on our own if we think it will benefit us much better in the long run this just sitting.

Log onto the FedEx Custom Critical extranet and go to Doing Business on the left hand side of your screen, then click on Order/Print forms & Supplies then click on customer handouts and the magnets will be sent to the house. When we are at the truck shows we will ask for a few extra pens, hats...

Why should each truck call one customer? If the company can get the address correct then the problem is solved and no need to keep bugging the customer.

I like the three way calls as then FCC is involved and they hear what the customer tells us. In the long run I think this works better as the next truck going into this location will have the correct directions and not need to call at all.

Pelicn we must have bought our chains in a different place then you bought yours! Ours say open as needed and if the month is December think of Christmas and the jingling noise a harness and bells make on a horse or reindeer pulling a sleigh through the snow. If you are not the one driving...

Heck Steve we have dead headed several hundred miles for a load less then a hundred miles and made great money. Just depends on what the load is, how much special handling it requires on how well it pays.

Our customer is FCC and it is their job to get us into their customer so nope we do not need to call a FCC customer. If though they cannot get us good directions we will do a three way call with the customer and get better directions and hopefully FCC will update their data base. If we are the...

Well heck Phil is that not how you chain? It is always dry and in daylight you put on your chains then you drive into the bad weather! How I wish...

We have sat with dispatch a few times and some of those calls the dispatcher gets just amaze me. Sitting with dispatchers listening to some of the stuff they are told also amazes me and I wonder at the gall people have. We each have a job to do and I do not really care what problems the...

Yep you have the right OVM!! All I can say is I am glad we are out here making our money and they are in there going home every night making their money. No way would I want to trade places.

That is the point though the carrier quotes a customer a price and then they have to cover the load anyway they can. If the load does not pay enough we refuse it until the load does pay enough. The profit margin the carrier makes is their problem and the profit margin we make is our problem.

When we are sent in to pick up a B load the customer will often ask will our rates change since we are getting a bigger truck? The customer will not see any difference in their rate unless they decide to put more freight on our truck and the weight changes to where the customer would need a...

I have come to the conclusion men cannot read Women on the walls. What irritates me about a man using the women’s bathroom is they cannot raise the seat and they have a problem flushing the toilet when finished. It is rather funny though when you are washing your hands and they come out of...

We also hope it works out and really never thought we would hear of him being able to truck again. We wish him all the best and I hope he enjoys being out here once again as much as we do. The company he is with should consider themselves lucky to have him!

Turtle that was our thoughts exactly when we listened to the interview as our carrier uses PC Miler and we could match routes with them. Sounds like we will stand back and watch to see what happens as we really have grown to trust our Lowrance iWay 500c and know what the "warts' are with her...

One of the things to take into consideration when a person is complaining about how a company treated them is you are only getting the side of the disgruntled driver. We are not seeing the carrier’s side on what they saw happening with that complaint. There are times I am sure when a driver...
