How 'bout taking your truck and yourselves out of service, trade your keys with another likeminded driver and party-on.

you're welcome. Keep in mind that the Free part ends on 4 August, the US Coast Guard's birthday, so get what you can now.

I spent 3.8 cents per mile on repairs and parts, not including oil change during my van's two most expensive years

At 15-22 mpg a van has the lowest cost per mile, but typically the fewest miles. Vans don't log except with hazmat load so HOS isn't a concern; if the van had to log, HOS still wouldn't be a serious concern because of the abundance of vans and the non-abundance of van freight. The rate of pay...

I received signage for my new van and no FedEx phone number was included. Perhaps it became more of a hassle fielding complaints to the company than the advertising dollar was worth.

RE: Dead head pay and layover pay...is it required It sounds like your men are employees working on commission and the company isn't making the best use of it's resources. I won't belabor the point with a lot of details but your guys do not have the best deal available in your location. If...

The parking for trucks and R/V's, whether using the hotel or not, will be available for the duration of the Expo. 24 hr availability to the restrooms at the convention center and there will be trash receptacles and, tentatively, a porta-pot in the parking area.

Keep the heat on. We're rooting for you.

Talk to us. Where are you? What did you refuse and Why?

C5Bill The greatest period of risk while driving is enroute pickup and proximate to the delivery. Driving in and around the customers' locations presents more opportunities for an unsafe incident than driving the Interstates; ergo, they chose runs taken, not miles driven.

Looks like Dewey, Huey and Louie were a bit too anxious to get back to the pond!

I gotta go along with Tony. Rich has been a member of my circle of friends since we met at a delivery in Romeo, Michigan about 16 years ago. We've been in constant touch with Rich and his wife Mary since that time and I know him well enough to believe that he will continue on as an active EO...

C5bill: As a non-winner 17 years in a row, I may be qualified to tell you how it's done. Maintain 70% availability, 70% load acceptance, have no preventable accidents, be on-time 98% for the fiscal year and you'll be eligible for the FedEx Custom Critical Four Star Safety Award. Lots of folks...

RE: Please call in to Dave Nemo's radio show !!!!! Sounds like a great and timely idea. Ask Dave to dedicate the song to RichM

Parking at the adjacent Pilot is minimal, perhaps 10 semis and 1 bobtail. Parking at the Expo site is plentiful with more than enough parking for any size trucks and R/Vs. This place is HUGE!

It's actually 47.2% of statistics that are made up on the spot

My uneducated gues is that you should check with the engine rebuilder for the proper fuel usage. The new lower sulpher diesel is not to be used in 2007 and newer vehicles but the rebuild probably has components that wouldn't meet the 2007 specs. Just a guess, but you spent too much money to...

Thanks to you and Bob for the posts. Mike, a long time expediter with Roberts Express and FedEx Custom Critical, was quite the character who danced to his own fiddler. Our sympathies are with his family on this Independence Day. Terry and Rene'
