A Quote by the late Dale Earnhart. You new pay rate is coming in 2015 and it won't be pretty.

You can also bet none of the people in upper management took a pay cut. They may have even got a pay raise. What else could they be doing with all that money?

Fed changed their business structure. The ideal is to put more money in their pockets and put enough money in yours to keep you hungry and work your butt off to just get by.

The flat rate has run alot of good owner operators flat out of the business. I had been a happy contractor with FedEx CC for 7 years. Till I made 20k less in 2014 than the year before running close to the same miles. As I started looking around and asking questions my research revealed I was not...

First of all to answer some question. We are a c-unit. We also have a minimum cost per mile set that we can make money at with our truck because its paid for. We were going to upgrade to a newer truck but that adds a truck payment back into the mix and will lower the bottom line. We were...

I am still trying to decide which way to go. My contract renews in may so I have a year to stay on percentage.I am in surface exp. Here's my pay on last 5 loads. Atl Ga. to Orl Fl. 1.62 per mile. Orl. Fl to Mia Fl. 2.87 per. mi. Mia Fl to Tam. Fl 1.87 per mi. Orl. Fl to Grv.SC 1.67 per mi...

I would like to know if the flat rate trucks are making any money. Talked to a flat rate guy. He told me he was very busy and had done some WG loads also. My questions would be: Do they sit longer to keep fedex from paying alot of money for DH? If you are in a express center with a flat rate...

I have a twin screw pete with a 16 ft box. Seems very stiff in rear for the light loads we haul. Does anyone know of a way I can sofen up the bags? I know it desighed to haul 80000 Thanks

No your not the only one. But when it really waters you off when your 4 hours ahead of schedule and you stop to take a nap in the wee hours of the morning and right when you get to sleeping good that BS starts. But someone thinks its more inportant to wake you up and start sending you "are you...

OH NO ! No more successful expediter! No more how great my truck is. No more how great my load pays. No more vacation home in Fla. No more what I learned today. No more complaining about my company. No more A-Team. I guess that means the rest of us are are B-teams. I must say reading the blogs...

Offers for van loads seem very cheap. The loads also seem to send you to an area where your going to have to deadhead 200 miles back to a express center. By the time you add the layover/down time you can make more money as a walmart greeter. What are you guys trying to get a mile including...

I am a OOIDA member and have been over 10 years. What kind of program does the state have? I live in Ga. My current insurance expires at the end of month with my old employer. Thanks for the response.

Can anyone advise me of where to buy health insurance? I ask my CC and just got a website of insurance companys. I would think a company as big as FECC would have some kind of program in place where group rates would be in effect and it would be affordable.

Your right. I am staying because of the money. Its about making a living. I also know with very little effort they could make it a little less stressful and a better place to work. Be safe.

Tried it six months as a single. Made some decent money some weeks and some weeks didn't make any. I am now a team. Much better. The HOS rule and the EOBR does not favor the single driver doing expediting. I did run into some single drivers at other companys that were getting more than the 520...

First of all I would like to say I have not been at FECC as long as most of you guys but I have been in the trucking industry most my life. But I would like to comment on some of the dumb stuff I have had happen to me since being signed on that really waters me off. 1. When load offers come in...

Just wanted to know how much you should get per loaded mile to be profitable. That is with a D-unit truck. I know everyone has a different situation. Truck paymets,single driver or team and so fourth. Just trying to get a good average. I know where I am and how much I am making and its nothing...

I am here for new ideas from other solos. Not looking for remarks from the peanut galley. So far you have give me nothing. Thanks

If you don't have EBOR please don't comment. If your a team its not a problem. Forgot to tell you load offer came in at 8:00 am. I am also all about running compliant. OK lets see what to do about this one. Had a delevery at a place that had no place to park. Closest truckstop 20 min away. Clock...

As a solo driver I am having alot of issues with the new EOBR. I first thought this is great, no more pens and rulers. But after three months this thing is causing me to lose money. Just wondering who else is having issues with EOBR. Just one example to get this started: I had a load that was to...
