McBride: Your request for information serves as a reminder that once again we should describe the workings of the Contractor Council to eliminate any confusion about what they do. First off, Bob and I are members of the council and we do not covet that roll, but we are honored to have been...

Anyway, I do love a nice manicure with semi long nails and a nice dinner at Salt Grass but the rest of the list doesn't do much for us. Lucky me. No lucky wife! I also feel lucky as Bob hates makeup and he does not much appreciate dresses he just says be who you are. Now how much of that I...

I do not that we and breath FedEx Custom Critical but this is how we make a very good living and we plan to continue to do so. The better we can understand the company we are contracted to the easier it is for to make educated decisions and that means also leaning to work within a system that...

There has been numerous posts lately knocking company stats but to us this is why they are beneficial. Truck Statistics are a bench mark to see how you are doing at a company and if used properly can tell you if you are at the right company or you need to move on. To us the way to look at the...

Cheri, you did miss a good Expo not as exciting as this girl’s day out but still a lot of fun. Amazing how much fun you can have sitting in lawn chairs, in a parking lot making new friends and catching up with old one!

Leo you are still not having any problem reading a screen and not a page? It seems as if when I try to read pages and pages on my computer I get distracted very easy. I sure love the idea of not having to have so many books with us. I have my IPOD when I drive and I love it so this sounds...

We have never really fueled at the TA but now it is about our only fuel stop due to the HUGE discounts we are receiving. You can call ahead to the TA's using the 800 number, you then will give them the 4 digit number of the TA you are interested in and listen to the quotes given. We have...

spudhead911 I think if you will read back over this thread you will see that the only posts that are negative to this thread or who are not asking questions on how to better use this new system are non FCC drivers. So no one needs to see the door as I believe we are all trying to help each...

McBride your reply almost seems as if you think we work for FedEx Custom Critical which we do not we are contractors. You posted a series of questions which I found very interesting so I took the time to call our contact at FCC to get more information and post my finding for your benefit and...

Man can I catch the fish! That is one of the few games I am better at then Bob. Jeez though does it make you laugh. Bob is also really good at the tight rope walk, I usually fall off!

Wow does that sound like a really fun day! Glad you guys got to do that and this is a great example of why our "jobs" are so darn much fun. You just never know when days like this will come about. Good for you two.

Challenges for those of you using the Wii and the Wii Fit. I have a couple scores that Bob has on Wii Fit for a challenge and as we use the other games I will write down the scores and add them. Some of Bob's scores as he is the one playing while I am "working on this" Wii Fit: Balance Games...

Why have express centers If I understand the Express Centers they are more for the customer then they are for us. The customer is guaranteed a certain time frame if they are located in an Express Center. Not all loads are offered to multiply Express Centers only the loads that have a more open...

India I had to laugh when reading your post as your reasons of the leather seats getting dirty is the reason we want them! I can explain that a little better our cloth seat also get dirty and they are much harder to clean then the vinyl around the cloth. We have put seat covers over our seats...

McBride you bring up some really interesting points so I started doing a little sleuthing and found out the following. 1.Load opportunities are being dispatched to trucks in more than one express center often times trucks in as many as 5 express centers are being sent the same load...

I do not think calling 911 every time someone knocks on our door will solve any of our problems and while calling 911 could block an important life or death call they are receiving. We have stopped at the fuel desk and reported the problems but usually are just met with a blank state which in...

I do not know what you are looking at Bruno but when you get a load opportunity and refuse it your refusal numbers do not change. It sounds as if it might be well worth you time to go to the office or call your CC and go over a lot of these issues you are having with this system. Get the facts...

Hey Jack! It was good to meet you and Gracie at the Expo hope to see you two out on the road one of these days!

Now gotta go you have a comment that is not correct Molly does not bark and I have wondered if she has a voice or is possibly too lazy to bark! I will admit though that Dingle the cat is much better dressed then Molly has ever been. He is a sight to behold in his outfits!

Agree with redytrk what the recruited told you is the truth but you do have to ask the right questions. What kind of C truck do you have? FedEx Custom Critical is a little hard on solo units. Have also heard that the new dispatch system should make the offers a lot fairer then they have been...
