Let's get back to Redytrk's original question in this thread. FedEx Custom Critical, in concert with FedEx Freight, have initiated new procedures when responding to the freight handling requirements of their customers. They describe it thusly: Surface Expedite Network is an option for...

I'm talking out of school here, but Rene' has 9 pillows on a bed that requires only two. If she had her way 100%, rather than 99%, the pillows would go to the foot of the bed. As far as the towels go, I think the men are expected to drip dry rather than upset the towel display.

Sweettalker: I know of no expedite carrier that offers a lease purchase plan for a cargo van; however, that's not to say they don't exist. There are leased owner/operators that have offered lease/purchase contracts with drivers and you might find one or two in the free classifieds on this...

It has been said that Panther pays vans $.77 but gives them the option to leave Canada runs out of their lease agreement and then recieve $.75 for all runs in CONUS. FSC on top of those prices

Dave: Same deal as Panther; however, unlike your dedicated backhaul section, we must arrange with our respective contacts during daytime work hours. I've talked to a couple of drivers that had lost their 'found' load while their contact was doing his thing. I haven't heard any success stories

Dave: Technically, Panther (and FedEx Custom Critical) take 15%, on the loads you develop; they don't pay 85% on their loads. My question to Blacktiger remains unanswered.

Thanks for sharing

Blacktiger. Which carriers pay 75 - 85%? How much would that be for a given truck size?

We get lot's of PM's and E-Mail and answer them all, but personally I cringe a bit when a member suggests a poster PM or E-Mail to get an answer to a post. Being that this is a public forum, I'd like to see an answer to posts with which new folks as well as old-timers can benefit.

The number I provided were taken from FedEx literature. They are dated average numbers of revenue to the truck. I think the numbers LOOK low because of all the well below average Owner/Operators that drag the hard working truck numbers down. For example, I saw the 1099 of a friend in a team...

White Glove is a Division within FedEx Custom Critical. Owner/operator applicants for that division come from the rank and file Surface Expedite Division. Some pre-qualified White Glove truck owners are authorized to hire drivers who eventually become fully qualified to perform all of the...

Rene' and I love to camp as well. Our campground of choice is Holiday Inn Express...all the comforts of a well equipped van.

I was too skeered to look!

USDOT regs require all commercial drivers to be randomly subjected to drug and alcohol screening. It would be quite difficult for for sole proprietors or owners of very small carriers or owners/operators to maintain, or more importantly prove they maintain, a valid drug screening program. Many...

A sincere thanks to all of the forum members who volunteered to help at the Expedite Expo 2006. Lawrence and his crew and I were pleased that things went so smoothly that we did not need to utilize all the folks that we thought would be necessary. I trust that those that did donate their time...

Glad y'll had a good time. Linder Caffee deserves a round of applause for getting the trip put together. That foto would look a lot nicer if you each were wearing an expediter T-shirt. We need to work on that next year!

Zak: If you and/or Holly can get up to Dallas on 24, 25 or 26 August, you can get those internal juices flowing at the Great America Trucking Show. Check them out here: http://www.gatsonline.com/ Not only will there be expedite carrier recruiters there, but you should be able to meet a few...

DPea: You can't get much better help than Dave M has just offered. A contact in the vicinity of your next relocation destination is invaluable. We highly recommend you take advantage of Dave's offer. As a career military guy, I've relocated family and belongings to unfamiliar areas...

Numerous reference to Legionnaires disease can be found here; http://www.jux2.com/best.php?q=%22legionnaires+disease%22&submit=Search We hope you can find comfort in understanding the disease and its' cures.

Well said by all of the above. The Heros' truck was an outstanding pictorial and audio reminder of so many of the people places and things, past and present, that make the USofA the nation it is today. This is a must see, should you ever have the opportunity
