Express Centers are not a physical location. FedEx has express centers based on load projections and past history with in the area. You will have these express centers sent to you as layover options and it is your responsibility to find a place to park. FedEx also would like you to stay...

On our type of trucks India they are just used on the drive axles. If you get a load going out west most truck stops carry them. It would also be a good idea to read the bad and get a general idea of how to put them on. We learned the hard way, while it was snowing very hard I read the bag...

The funny thing about this situation is not 2 monthes ago most FedEx contracters did not care about the FSC because you only looked at the load offer and made a choice to take it or refuse the load. Some loads had a FSC and other didnt it and you did not know unless you asked or when you got...

We have not been here as long as you have but we still feel our carrier is trying to do their best for us and keep our wheels rolling. Our loads since the beginning of the new lease have been on a roller coaster some good runs and some bad runs. Feel like in the long run they will even out...

We have seen the other side of the coin on this issue! We took a discounted automotive load that normally would not have had a FSC. With the added FSC on this load it brought the ppm up to what is an acceptable run for us to take. This benefited us, the customer and also the dispatcher who...

Last winter we chained several times and every time we had to chain it was really not needed. I believe the chain law came into affect just to slow the cars down. We have drove on a lot worse icy roads and snowy roads where I felt we should have pulled over and waited. You just have to watch...

Our accountant wants either Quik Books or Quicken which ever you are most comfortable with. I think you should also check with your accountant.

How do those work? I have not wanted to put ice cube trays in the truck due to the mess they can make. Do you have to make the ice first and then put the cubes in the bag? I sure would love to have ice as there is nothing better then iced tea.

Just seeing the trailer Chrome Shop Mafia brought to the Expo was worth the trip!

I have been fighting with the floor boards of the truck trying to keep them clean. Does anyone have a good solution for this? We have been running is a lot of rain and at times it just feels as if you are in a losing battle. Any suggestions would sure be appreciated.

We have had Sprint service for several years and it does just keep getting better, we also have Verizon and Cingular and it really seems that they all work the about the same.

Earlier this year we had to chain going over Donner and then spent the afternoon in Gilroy CA in our shorts. This time of year is starting to get like that where we have every outfit imaginable in the truck. Takes up lots of room but you never know.

We also use US Bank and TAB Bank and are happy with both.
