You beat me to that question. --eb

There is definitely a glitch in the software. I set the time zone to manual, so I can stay on Eastern Time. The problem is that the estimated time of arrival display continues to calculate a difference between time zones as if I'm in automatic time zone mode. This means the time of arrival...

When I hear stories like this I can't help but picture having to carry around a large bag of top soil twenty-four hours a day--getting out of bed with it, climbing out of the tub, getting in and out of the vehicle. There's no going back OVM. Good job. eb

DriverX, You mentioned pets as a topic at a drivers meeting. Are you saying that White Gloves are trying to get pet waivers? eb P.S. congrats on the new post count.

Uh, oh. A decision has to be made. eb

I also thought it would be cool if I got pulled into the FedEx forum. Hold on for the ride. eb

Are you bringing this up as an in house, FedEx policy discussion? Or are you bringing up this discussion for the general audience of the open forum? Just curious. eb

It is the appearance that counts. Like fraternization in the military. It is not the act of fraternization that deteriorates moral, it is the appearance of fraternization. No need for a conspiracy, just the appearance of conspiracy. There are plenty of other moderators who don't work for...

Did I just witness FedEx lock a thread about FedEx? I'm referring to this thread: http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/43095-fair-warning-white-glove-dog-owners.html I counted four people who figured out what is currently going on, but lockage is attributed to one...

You picked a bad week. I was out of service Sunday to Tuesday. Turned down two loads Thursday to stay in range of my service appointment this week. Another thing--is the pay based on rate or percentage? Something to consider when looking at snapshots. I also don't understand how making...

http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/newbies-faq/39518-how-start-using-forum.html I would start at this link. eb

Moral of the story. Don't give up on your week. Friday afternoon I was thinking it might be another one load week, but by Saturday afternoon delivered two more loads. TJ was the first thing I thought of when they told me my van had been sitting two days while the sprinter tech was out of...

Are these numbers supposed to hold up 52 weeks straight? Just remember that each time you route yourself home for anything, including maintenance, you're going to miss a thousand dollar run. Not sure about .92 a mile either. Keep your day job until you can buy the vehicle with cash. eb

If eo sets up an exclusive use forum for pet owners, please put it in a subfolder down and out of the way to keep things from getting too tediously cluttered. Considering a major purpose of this site is to help people new to, or from outside this industry it seems that exclusivity turns this...

Are you making these? I would use one. Walmart sent me a list of Sam's Clubs with diesel if that would help. eb

Trying to squeeze out another load this week to keep it from being my third straight one load week (dry runs don't count). Not all to do with the load gods. Turn in the van on Saturday for Monday morning appointment at dealership (Mercedes-Benz). Call for an update Monday and have to leave...

Leo, I made mine with about 8 inches between e-fastener and ratchet. That way the ratchet clears the pallet or the side of small flat boxes. eb

Sorry, Leo. I didn't keep the addresses. If I can backtrack and figure it out I'll let you know. I was mostly trying to let you know the process of how I found them. update: S-Line Cargo Control Products, Systems & Safety Accessories This might be them. I didn't remember them as...

I made my own. Could be easier finding one like greg says. A rigging shop can do it while you wait, and it will be up to code. I found the rigging shop by going to the tiedown distributor. He didn't have what I was looking for, so he directed me a couple blocks away to the man who made his...

What kind of insurance will you be carrying on that idle, standby van? eb
