    I REALLY DID TRY TO SEARCH FOR THIS ANSWER

    Here's the foto I sent Dave: http://www.expeditersonline.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=1211&forum=DCForumID16 These fittings are only useful on the rear side door hinges on the chv/gmc van as they are the ones where the pins rust out because of wind driven rain. Hint...

    express centers

    FedEx Custom Critical load offers show two pay fields. One is base pay to the truck, plus all accessorial, DH pay to pickup, Tolls and FSC. The other field shows any DH pay earned from last delivery to the authorized layover. We are told that software is being modified to show a breakdown of...

    pan handler on I-65 south of louisville ky.

    Thanx for the tip; there's no shortage of these dirtballs at rest areas and truckstops plying on the sympathies of good hearted drivers. We were similarly approached by the same man, two weeks apart, at the old Mayflower T/S in Milford, CT. He needed a fan belt for his Camper that was stranded...

    TV Antenna

    I have used rabbit ears, available at most any truckstop that features antennas, and often had ghost shadows because they are not omni-directional. They were OK for infrequent TV viewing. I now use a disc-like antenna that stands about 8" above the roof on its mount. The mount is sold...

    Making Money in Expediting

    Dave said: One might think the rates went up, and they did slightly in some cases. But, FSC and rate combined, are actually less. That is an issue that all carriers are dealing with. I think that the issue that the carriers are dealing with is the perception, that many of their drivers have...

    Making Money in Expediting

    Rich: Folks that enter this business with short purse strings must keep in mind that they are not just buying a truck, they are buying a business. There's no such financing thing as a "no money down", "no interest for six months" deal in expedite truck/business buying. At least none that I've...

    Test your math skills

    I never thought you were, Dave. I value your opinion and I was just attempting to share another opinion. I don't like cheap freight anymore than the next O/O, but cheap freight comes with the very competative expedite business when we are leased to one carrier. Like I said above, if we each...

    Test your math skills

    Dave, et al: I'm not suggesting that I like the course that expediting has taken, or not taken. My response to Coco's thread was intended to give a rational explanation for the way I think the FSC is affecting the drivers within our group. It's no secret that tariffs have not kept pace with...

    Bashers

    Thanx Lou One of the greatest benefits of this forum is the sharing of useful information that we all enjoy and find useful for maximizing our profit potential or truck enjoyment. As louis says, it serves no useful purpose for the readers of the forum to see carrier, owner or trucks sales...

    Test your math skills

    Coco: Nice post, BUT What are you missing?, you ask. The rest of the story! When FedEx Custom Critical announced their new contractor revenue package, they could have done a better job of explaining the mechanics of the revised FSC. They should have stressed the fact that all of the...

    Non-Couple Teams

    We haven't experienced the situation you ask about, but we recently met two men in a straight truck who had partnered for several years. Their solution to their partnership was to go their separate ways when the truck was not on a run. They never eat together nor participate in any...

    Sprint cell service

    Let's get back to Chuckwagon's topic which is a request for comments related to sprint. CW: I suspect that you can greatly improve that Sprint service (and any other carrier for that matter) with the purchase of an external antenna such as the one I recently mounted. They are available at...

    Bench Coach

    The bench coach takes over the duties of the manager if the manager is ejected from the game. Because of MLB rules on the number of coaches, the same person may hold more than one of these positions.

    Yet another blonde 'true story'

    A blonde lady motorist was about two hours from San Diego when she was flagged down by a man whose 'D' truck had broken down. The man walked up to the car and asked, "Are you going to San Diego?" "Sure," answered the blonde, "do you need a lift?" "Not for me. I'll be...
