RE: FedEx CC quarterly newsletter Gentlemen, I think it's best we lock this thread. We've heard both sides, and obviously both see it a different way. This obviously seems to be headed towards a court case, and we need to leave it between the parties involved. Trying to advise one or the...

I'm getting ready to start the process of mine here in Ohio also. Hopefully it doesn't take as long as they say. I'll probably do a brief write up on the process once it's done. As Rex says, the first step cost $94.00 at www.myhazprints.com, luckily I'm not too far from a fingerprinting...

Everyone has given great ideas here. One thing I actually picked up from an RV show is having a bunch of small bungee cords. You never know when you'll need them, and you can get them cheap at Walmart or anywhere. A good way to store them is on a piece of 3 inch PVC pipe cut to length...

This is probably the kind of person who will be on here the day he is fired talking about how that fleet owner sucks, his trucks are junk, etc. Then the fleet owner reveals the driver never cleaned the truck, or changed the oil. He peed in the floor, kept 4 dogs, they had to burn the...

Mike, I'm a long time ebayer, and I've known of several drivers who run auctions on downtime. It may take an understanding partner at home to label and ship stuff for you tho. Or, there are several companies who will "drop ship" for you. In this case, you sell iems listed in a wholeseller's...

Great responses folks! Now THIS is the kind of exchange of ideas I like to see. As was pointed out, I think if a "template" contract is posted, some lazy people will just copy it, and it may not fit their siuation. It would be more beneficial to come up with a list of what needs to be...

RE: Introduction To Expediting; Now Available in . Good article, looking forward to the rest. Dreamer Forums Administrator

How can I put this.. >LOL... I think Davekc AND Ateam are both right, and are closer on their answers than they realize! I understand Dave's point that 'usually' the more experienced person will have better answers. However, as Ateam pointed out many 'so-called' experienced people will give...

ACW, Have you actually checked on the regs for your neighborhood? I know at least in the Cleveland Ave area they don't have a prob with vans. They don't like big trucks but there are several work vans parked around, ie plumbers, contractors, etc. It is possible you are worrying about an...

>I couldn't even find a Sprinter for sale here in Ohio. >What's up with that? Bob Caldwell Dodge in Columbus has several Sprinters ready to go...from bare bones to full Expediter conversions. http://www.expeditersonline.com/sub/caldwelldodge/index.html Dreamer Forums Administrator

Happy New Year everyone... here's to planning for a great year! Dreamer Forums Administrator

The difference in a van vs truck (the age old question..) is simply a question of complexity vs income. Van .. , lower costs, lower regulation, lower expence, lower income (yes 1500 miles a week is about right) Truck, higher initial costs, higher regulation, higher operating expence, but...

Merry Christmas everyone! Please take time to appreciate the ones close to you, and remember why we celebrate this season. Dreamer

> >Anyone up for locking this thread? Unfortunately, 'pee-bottles' are a reality of this business, like them, or hate them. I will leave this thread open, simply because I'd like to see what alternatives people have, that work for them. Thanks, Dreamer Forums Administrator

One of those "ew" subjects.....LOL Many will probably say don't use them, or have a porti-potty if you have room. The reality is, many drivers use them... It really depends, I think, on how big. For instance.. a small bottle, if you can carry it discreetly, (paper bag, etc)...can be poured...

Merry Christmas to you all, and thanks for helping keep this site great! We truly appreciate the great participation we've been having! I hope everyone who wants to, gets home for the holiday, and if you choose to stay out, that you get a sweet run! Dreamer Forums Administrator...

We need to get more of you folks with our bumper stickers on your trucks, vans etc! Get the word out! Dreamer Forums Administrator

RE: White Glove, Backstabbers, GOD's, Snitches, Ni This thread is now locked. I think you all know why.. Thanks for your participation. Dreamer Forums Administrator

It's a joke, that's sad, but mostly true... at the expense of some people that don't really want work, they want their hands held! You know the kind... 'it's all about me, 9-5 expediter, no weekends, give me everything availible in my truck, I run it my way, treat it like it's stolen, etc."...

Good post Ace. Bottom line, people need to ask themselves those questions, do their research, read the good and bad reports, then make a decision. Too many people jump in, then when it doesn't go how they plan, they blame whoever encouraged them!!! No one is holding your hand... or forcing...
