In the last 3 weeks I have qualifed for Food Stamps.
Now isnt that a shame.

Since the Reefer went down I have taken just about every load offered to me.

To no avail Driver pay 450 500 before taxes.

I dont think calling and begging for loads is right and I shouldnt have to do it. if you dont want me calling then start giving me what I need.

I here all the time from quite a few that they turn down more loads because they need a break, Hey well start given them up. Im teamed and If I got to be out here I need to run not sit. But remember this I cant run the truck in the red.

One thing I don't miss about expediting is the fact that most of the time you spend away from home you spend sitting some where. If I'm away from home I want to be running.

[iceroadtrucker]

I know But one run for the week and only 300 bucks and Im told all the runs for monday and tuesday are out. Please give me a break.

Im now in the North East. Give me a load and get me moving. I cant run the truck in the Red in other words
Do your loads for Free.

If its toll then give it.

Suds43 in answer to your question
FedEx Custom Critical what other company is there???

I started out on a TVAL REEFER 1st month then to a looser C truck for 2 weeks took it back then .

Crossed over to a E unite Dry box with a lift gate, then in the poor house fought for a reefer and got it.

2 1/2 years then Reefer hits the shop this year 18 June and Im been pulling a stinking dry box since. I qualify for food stamps out here.

The person that I subcontract for had to come up with the money to fix the reefer of which isnt ready yet get my drift

He got the guts to tell me that maybe FedEX dont like me because I call in all the time for loads.


these past few week put the icing on the cake.

Now Im mad.

Hey Ice, don't try to mail a letter home with those food stamps. And don't eat them. Despite the name they are not edible.

I wonder if I can qualify for wick up here in NY bread milk and cheese.

[cheri1122]

That's "WIC" for women, infants, & children. Meant to aid pregnant women, babies, and small children. As I don't think you fit any of those categories, probably not.

Well Ur right but bet my wife and daughter will qualify hmm

By the way Im not the only one I see I just talked to the team that turned down the load I took up here. They were in Canada and I was in Kansas city Mo. Pu was In Germantown WI Delivering to Towanda NY.
Hmm. see what did I tell you why should I tell any tales
Discounted freight I be taking the scrapes no one else wants. Dad Said Tell it like it is and if they dont like they can eat U KNOW WHAT. Well Im telling the Truth.

Bad Karma Ya sure is and I keep getting the run around
from Billybob and Tommy at Carrier in Richfield OH

The bad karma well Dispatched if they just give it up and give the loads to me I wouldnt have call but darn it quit given me the looser loads that no one else wants I cant keep doing them. Im going broke out here . Thats as a Driver!!!!!!!!! managing the money I get to run a truck. As I said I pay for the fuel and tolls off of what I down load to the card. Note that also pays for PMS and other maint as well. for the last 3 years Ive done darn good.
Well I need not say no more FedEX give it up I need mashed patatoes and gravy. Far as the reefer goes I was told they were working on it last week and then Friday oh were looking at it give me a break. Then The big guy says they swamped with other reefer work. ya right I say Im calling a spade a spade.

Dispatched they need to give me some mashed patatoes and gravey and a nice steak vice the jello

well for 3 years it went to 3 differnt house holds
Yes it has.

And the first one at FedEX says u cant do that then they can take the team stuff they push and put it where the sun dont shine. \

Hey maybe I dont like Teaming. Maybe I want to run single
Maybe Im sick of not getting team loads but offered Single loads.

Put the shoe on the other foot. There realy isnt a whole lot of couples that want to drive Tractor Trailer. The guys that got there wives with them they are so lucky. Terry and Bobbie are the lukiest ones I know.
