Lots of folks have done the lease purchase thing where the owner holds the truck title, the lease agreement with the carrier, and receives the settlement from the carrier. He then pays the buyer/driver 85% of the gross settlement to the truck. The owner would then be paying the insurance, if a...

The company is formally known as "FedEx Custom Critical Passport Auto Transport". It is based in the suburbs west of St Louis, MO and has about 40 owner operators.

Not so sad, Greg. The patent holder of the flamingo and its mold is only selling. You'll soon be able to get all you need from some asian or Mexican company.

RE: Hows the the new FedEx CC FSC program working Dave, I never said it was better; I've said that I believe it is fair for the customers and for the drivers. I've provided my opinion as to how this FSC computation works, in a couple of threads now, and can think of no other way to explain the...

Bravo Turtle. You have a 100% agreement with this van operator. I have never considered my van to be commercial vehicles, except within those few States that have stronger Regulations than my State of Missouri or those very other few such as Iowa, Wisconsin, Alabama, and Michigan.

RE: Hows the the new FedEx CC FSC program working Greg: We won't get to use the Freight or Ground terminals to buy fuel at the current 1.25 that Ground IC's pay because they don't have licenses, nor the associated costs, to operate a retail fuel outlet. Because of the way expediters operate...

PantherPower's post should be repeated every year as a reminder to all of us that this is the nature of expediting. Hurry up and wait to hurry up.

RE: Hows the the new FedEx CC FSC program working >but i thought the whole idea of a fsc was to offset the cost >of price of fuel not to pay for the fuel Me too. The offset brings the cost of fuel for the typical FedEx Custom Crtical leased truck, van thru tractor, to $1.20 for all...

Landline, Dave Nemo, CNN w/ Robin Mead,Fox in the PM

I've been pondering the ponderousness of this thread and have but one other comment. When enjoying downtime for reefer repair, why not minimize the lost time/money factor by having PM and CM done on 'other' truck components. Would this not reduce the operational cost of the 'other' part of the...

I've never had a reefer, never contemplated having a reefer, and have no reefer purchase nor operating experience; my beer fridge doesn't count. Having read the above posts, it seems to me that a missing variable is that of the layover reefer truck either waiting by choice or carrier locked for...

Well Gitsit, welcome to the Forum. That's what we're all about; people helping people

OOPS! I'll check next time in truck.

The 2006 issue should be going on sale soon as we near the end of the year. Pilot/TA/Flying J usually have them.

Teacup is a subsidiary of Tri-State. The company was introduced at the Expedite Expo 2006 this year. It is a carrier dedicated to women driving tractors on dedicated routes. I believe they are all company drivers in pink tractors.

John: Not many of us would likely have info that detailed. I couldn't tell you even one address. Try copying the info from a truckstop guide while you layover. A google search of your favs might turn up a few addresses. T/A and Flying J just list intersections, online

Try checking with your current insurance carrier and see what products they have available for you after you explain your desired line of work. Talk to one or more of those employers that you mentioned. They should have policies in place that cover the cargo you'll be toting and the van while...

Being in NY, NJ area you should get the runs and the revenue as indicated by RichM. Contrary to what your contact says, this has been a historicaly busy period up through Christmas. The week between Christmas and New Years Eve is always dead for most, but in your area you should be fairly...

I had similar tank banging success as moot, but never noticed the slightly delayed start as a precurser. On each of the two failures on my 2000 Chev, the pump emitted a high pitched squeal for 25,000 miles or so with the sqealing getting louder as the pump neared critical mass and failure. On...
