    What's the deal with Fed-Ex CC

    Nash.......I know what you mean. I came off the road 16 month's ago and bought a new cargo van and signed on with Home Delivery, which was just starting up here in Charleston,SC. They were great salesmen....make money, hire drivers, contract new routes, own your own "company", blah,blah,blah...

    FL70/FL80 mileage

    Thanks everyone for the great insights. I am looking to jump from my current frying pan in a couple of months. I have not been able to decide whether to look for a year old truck with around 100k miles on it or just buy new. Then again, if I go new I'm undecided whether to stick with the ol...

    FL70/FL80 mileage

    Just a quick question for anyone who can help. I know the answer varies with owner PM upkeep and driving habits but does anyone have a "ballpark" on the amount of miles you can put on these type trucks (fl70's & 80's) before "problems" arise? Any replies are appreciated. Thanks.

    PICK ONE

    I have made up my mind to do this. I have a cargo van contracted to FedEx home delivery that isn't making any money, so I guess I'm already in the fire (as opposed to being in the frying pan).

    Starting out in expedite industry...!?$#?!

    Starting out in expedite industry...!?$#?!

    Lawrence -Thanks for the response, it was very informing. I know the money isn't just falling off the tree out there but I think we should do all right, especially by living in the truck. Hopefully the economy will be back up by then. Thanks again, be safe!

    Starting out in expedite industry...!?$#?!

    I am looking for some advice from the "veterens" out there on starting in the expedite industry. I have read most of the messages in all the forums I could find but feel my scenario is different. -(doesn't everyone?) My plan is to move to Kentucky in around June of 2002. My wife and I will not...
