Tex: As a hotshotter, AAA is not for you or the other trucks your size. For expediter vans, AAA is OK. I've used their roadside assistance and towing for my van on numerous occasions.

FJK Most of us would tend to agree that your first statement is wrong and the second is right. A prospective owner needs to know of the big picture not just miles or revenue per mile. What's better: $2.00 a mile for 1000 miles with 100% deadhead every week, or $1.58 a mile for 1903 miles...

Chicago The weekly average for FedEx Custom Critical D trucks for the years 2002-2004 was 1903 miles. This info is somewhat dated but gives you a start. 2005 was a better year and 2006 will most likely prove to be slower than 2005

>All good Points but still there is no good reason for high >fuel price's. We paid out over $60,000.00 last year in fuel >for our trucks. Dave: What was the total FSC dollars you received in that same time frame, and what was the effective cost of fuel after that figure? Terry

Earl: One thing is for certain 99+% of the time, you can't feed three people (an owner and two drivers) on the revenue produced by a van operating as an expedite truck. The same three people can potentially earn a meager living in a straight truck or tractor, but I believe you'll have to stay...

Methinks my friend DaveKC is inappropriately and prematurely speculating the demise of "the little people" because of The FedEx acquisition of Watkins. We little people, and those more astute and informed than us, know nothing more than that an article has stated that FedEx is going to announce...

I have a foam filter on my lawn mower and I only get two yards per gallon

Hockey players don't have balls...Sorry, but that was too easy.

In my non-legal opinion, signs don't necessarily limit a property owners liability. As a seasoned driver, you should expect a fuel island would be occasionally slippery, so you should walk with caution as indicated by the signs. However, if fuel was spilled and not particularly obvious, and...

I always thought that was good planning by Union 76. A 76 T/S at exit 76 on 76th street. They used to have good food in there.

RE: Anyone ever had a bad cup of coffee at Dunkin It is impossible to get a bad cup of coffee at Dunkin' Donuts. It is equally impossible to get a bad cup of coffee at an Ontario located Tim Horton's; all the rest...

I thought the cabbie sounded quite like a politician giving a clear, concise answer to a complex question.

//It seeems like he's only out here to play video games and sleep. You sound like you know how and what subjects to train, you just need to pick a good trainee.

It may help you to wear some form of expedite related apparel that would identify you as a member of our community. It would also help to have a greeting other than "Are you folks making any money?" or, "is (blank company) any good?". You might try asking an expedite related question that...

RE: CUSTOMS RE: Our Longest Run of ALL TIME Teamdriver2, aka Harold Kernsey, has enthralled us all with stories of his recent adventures to Mexico and now with his ongoing Fedex Custom Critical load from Seattle, WA to Newfoundland, Canada. Without belaboring the point, I'll just say that my...

Crazynuff: Jen mentioned she was interested in a van operation and unless her van has GVWR of 10,001 pounds or more she needn't log, with or without a CDL. If she has a HazMat endorsement and hauls a reportable quantity of HazMat, she would then have to log. With or without HazMat, The State...

Today, I just bought replacements for my two, twelve year old, 2' x 6' x 7" custom made foam mattresses with comparable mattresses from "Verlo Mattress Factory Factory Store of St. Charles". These folks are a franchise operation and the parent company has quite a few stores around the country...
