You could go to Denver and see if you can negotiate one there ;) . Of course you will have to wait there for 4 days or so before the opportunity comes along.

I was checked into Denver after the new contract went into affect. They offer me a local run (125 miles) paying the new rate. I was so upset at what they were paying for it that I turned it down. They called me and asked why I turned it down. I said I was going to hold out for something more...

Since the new contract has gone into affect, my business has gone down hill, dramatically. I cannot continue taking the cheap freight that we are offered now. At least with the old contract I averaged $1.49 a loaded mile. Now it is chicken feed in my opinion. (side note- do you realize that when...

Wow. Nice rig. I haven't seen one like that.

That's funny ... and I've got video. I hired a restaurant worker to follow me out there and take it. I only got up to 45 or so because I didn't want to scare him.

I had a great time on the west coast. I'll get back out there again sometime because I still have a lot to see. This next one was taken at the Bonneville Salt Flats International Speedway in Wendover, UT.

(This thread is also posted in the FedEx forum. It was requested that it be posted here also. Have fun!) We've all been everywhere, haven't we? Show us where your truck has been. I'll start us off. This was taken Dec '07, just north of "The Avenue Of The Giants" in northwestern California.

Five more days until the new contract goes into effect folks. YEE HAW! ;)

Ah! Very good ya'll! This next one was taken at The Bonneville Salt Flats International Speedway. I actually hired someone working at a restaurant nearby to follow me out there and take video of my van speeding by. A little tip, go to the nearest car wash afterwards and give your vehicle a...

:mad: ... So yesterday I was offered runs that paid $.66, $.76, and $.61 per mile out of the Elk Grove Village express center. My reputation is going down the drain because of cheap freight offers. The new contract rate is starting to sound really good to me.

When I signed on with FCC in April of '07, I asked the instructor if there was any negotiating for better pay for the load offers. The instructor told me there wasn't any, that I would just get the 57.5% plus fuel surcharge. I was a little relieved by that because I had been signed on with...

Re: new Fedex CC rate... It is a little upsetting right now. I looked at my average per loaded mile between 11-2007 and 11-2008 and it was $1.47. This new contract will bring my average down quite a bit.

I got the call earlier. It seems to me we will be working harder now for less reward. I wonder how many O/O's they will lose over this. I have heard from other O/O's that the "B" units have gotten raw deals in the past, whereas the other units tend to get better deals.
