This isn't about the company but my experience with it. Bruno has his experience that was filtered by his values, perceptions and expectations. I did too but they were different as described below. I did not have blinders on. I never thought the company cared about the success of it's...

Amen to that! The first time I chained up a truck was in Florida where a friend showed me how to do it. Last winter I had to chain up for real on a trip over Donner Pass. Having the time, I practiced with the chains again at a Reno truck stop before going over the hill where highway information...

Joe, the question you raised to open this thread prompted me to research and write an article about the tire shortage and skyrocketing prices we see today. Watch for it in the next issue of Expedite NOW. Short story: If you need tires in the next six months, consider buying them today to get...

How is the web site scary? Is there something wrong with the list? How many times have truckers complained about drivers who are not paying attention because they are reading, putting on makeup, talking on the phone, etc.? Notice that the photos on the site feature four-wheelers, not truckers...

Thinking about this further, I should probably just let it go (as some have suggested). While I see the removal of the longevity recognition plaques as an act of profound indifference and disrespect, continuing to stir the pot does nothing good for me, my former carrier or anyone else. The...

Exactly! Which is why it is so curious that TeamCaffee made an abrupt exit from the conversation when asked to confirm the status of the plaques. It is not a difficult question to answer. The facts can be easily ascertained and communicated (like with a photo of the plaques and/or wall). The...

Thank you. I understand now. It's like a politician. Answers given have no connection to questions asked. About the "why do you care how I feel" question I asked, let me elaborte. There are two ways to ask it. One way is to ask with the intention of finding out more about what someone means...

Diane and I drove over Donner Pass a few days ago. The road construction underway there is progressing. It's better now and will be an even better drive when the project is complete.

I asked? I don't know what you mean. What did I ask? Who did I ask?

Forgive me, but does it not seem just a little bit presumptuous to tell someone else how one should feel?

To raise the Caffee question, why do you care about how I feel? Also, to repeat the yet unanswered question, what exactly do you mean by "bandwagon effect?"

Think about people who once lined themselves up behind a person, company or other entity, and then watched that person, company or other entity decline. Emotions are experienced. Interest continues. Opinions about the person, company or entity may change but interest continues because the...

What do you mean exactly by "bandwagon effect?" Recognizing excellence wherever it is seen is a good thing to do. Bruno spoke highly of FedEx Custom Critical while he was there, as did I. He, I and others have also spoken highly about companies that we are not currently leased to. What's wrong...

Diane and were in Phoenix yesterday and not near the crash sites. When running errands in town we got caught in a dust cloud that the wind whipped up without warning. It reduced visibility but not to zero. Traffic slowed. The dust cleared as fast as it came. There were no wrecks. As I said...

I-10 in Arizona is closed now, 18:00 local time, due to two pileups between Eloy and Phoenix. A dust storm suddenly reduced visibility to zero (or minimial, depending on the report) and crashes followed. Serious injuries and at least one fatality are reported. Road closed westbound at MM 176...

I do not know. Which then leaves the answer open to hearsay and speculation. That being the case, I will continue to believe that the longvity plaques on the wall outside the FedEx Custom Critical contractor training room have been taken down (a fact reported by others). I will speculate...

I explained it above in response to scotm4211's inquiry. Having had time to think about this more and talk it over with Diane, my answer remains the same. Interest in a company does not cease when you leave it. I once served in the Army and then got out. My interest in and concerns about the...

Moose is not talking about a ticket. He is talking about a warning ticket, which is a non-monetary event. However, one of the criticisms that the new CSA system gave rise to is the fact that while a warning ticket carries CSA points, it is not a ticket that can be fought in court. The officer...

Can you just give us the full story? I have been told the plaques are gone. You say longevity recognition will take a different form in the future. What exactly is the status of the plaques? We seem to be in agreement that they were taken down. Where are the plaques now? Will they be put...

What a wonderful idea! And I know that we all can count on Arkansas motorists to cheerfully and conscientiously abide by the law. It is truly remarkable how compliant motorists are nationwide with the cell phone and texting laws that are going on the books today.
