Gotta agree with the above...If the answer were that simple we'd all be there; wherever that is.

KG: I agree. I've considered that roof popping off on many occasions. The best way to get that roof put on is by a GM or Ford certified roofer. Each of the manufacturers require strength members welded to the sides (like support for a covered wagon cover) to maintain the OEM design...

WS: Tell Pam that a team for FedEx Custom Critical, and perhaps for Express 1 and the other good carriers, earns approximately 68% more revenue than a single driver. The cost in time, money and sweat to get a CDL can be recovered in no time.

The FedEx Custom Critical stats for 2002-2004 average annual revenue for an E unit was $2.01 per loaded mile and $1.31 for all miles. I sure hope the flat rate is at least the $1.31 plus the difference in FSC from that time frame until now. The mileage calculations should not be a factor if...

The message also indicates that upon acceptance of the parties involved, the load may be taken. That could mean they just want to vet the shipper/consignee or otherwise determine if they might need you for something else later. It would be best to contact your coordinator and find out the...

windshadow Here's something to start you thinking. The 2002-2004 Average annual gross revenue to a single driver in a FedEx Custom Critical, non-White Glove D truck was $72,502. You should be able to keep your overhead below half that figure and realize your net income goal. I suggest you...

A vent in the back will help but you won't need it if you've got the bulkhead 'tween you and the cargo area. Don't put the wall too far back if it's permanently afixed. You shoud save at least 8.5 feet of floor space to the door so you can handle two 48"x48" standard skids.

Capt I bought mine at an R/V place on east side of Columbus, I-70 x109? about the first exit east of the circle. Here's a link to the nearest to you: http://www.fantasticvent.com/ Terry

Insulation will give you the best service for keeping out the heat or cold. Lot's of folks have a foam insulation sprayed on but I think it looks nasty unless covered. I use the pink stuff, found at Home Depot or Lowes, behind a sheet of 1/8" luan plywood (commonly called door skins). I...

FedEx Custom Critical had, or still has, at least one flat bed O/O in the Atlanta area who keeps it busy. I don't know if they are interested in any more of them but it never hurts to ask.

Don't forget the shot record card from the veterinarian. Canadian Customs challenged us and our Bulgarian Weasel Hound because we had the rabies tag but not the papers. We were in a bind and they eventually let us in. Not sure how the U.S. Customs would react if you couldn't prove dog...

Leo, That's true. That's why you need the CDL; Combination Driver Lumper

elton10: Perhaps a lay position might help you get a better picture of the Whith Glove vs Surface Expedite fleet at Fedex Custom Critical. In essence, you are rewarded by White Glove Division for the investment of time, effort and money that the surface expedite folks do not provide. To be...

If no one will go first there won't be enough EO band width to handle the volume.

>Hello. I wolud like to get into expediting, but I don't know >too much about what I need ADS: You are going to need several things and EO is a great place to start. Knowledge Read the last couple of months of postings on this site and you'll get a good feel for what expediting is. Search...

Don't know, but... there's a couple from CT that drove for FedEx Custom Critical that have an aft bumper mounted generator and a forward bumper mounted tool box. The window in a rear door was removed and replaced by a window mounted A/C. Atop the roof was a huge R/V style satelite tracking...

Sunshinetomorrow: Check this link to many of the ohio carriers. Perhaps one of them is what you seek. http://www.expeditecarrier.com/search/Midwest/Ohio/ Terry

This one I gotta save for when I'm as old as Louixo and reach retirement age.

RMDIESEL: Your advice to have both parties sign off on the condition of the truck as determined by an impartial third party is important and would resolve a lot of owner - driver disputes. I trust that all of the owners and the drivers considering expediting heed your advice. Your para 4...
