    Flat rate???

    Just to give some FYI and food for thought. In 1986 my wife and I leased on with a United Van Lines Agent to be on a mileage fleet and haul a special trailer with an overhead crane. Our pay back then was $1.05 ALL DISPATCHED miles plus a handling fee. The best I remember we averaged $1.35-$1.45...

    DOT Inspection forms.

    OK here is the update. After calling Speedco customer service. on the 28th Tuesday (the manager in charge the day that I had the inspection done made it CLEAR to me to call corporate office) I was told by Todd (the corporate person) that he would take care getting of getting the brake...

    DOT Inspection forms.

    According to Speedco corp, (I ended up called them direct) it was in the paperwork they printed out and they were suppose to fill it out, but the location would not even do that. You would think that getting an inspection done would be simple, but it is turning into a nightmare. I am suppose to...

    DOT Inspection forms.

    For everybody FYI. I just found out today, the inspection does not have to be on a Fed Ex CC form. After having an inspection done at a Speedco on Saturday and they would not fill out the FECC form. (long story there). Safety took Speedco's form. And ALL this time I thought we had to have...

    Really?????

    Yea I have often wondered who they think responds to the c-link while the truck is running down the road. Do you wake up your co driver or violate company policy and use the c-link. To get a temp reading we actually have to stop the truck and get readings from the unit or the Ameriscan. I got a...

    Really?????

    Yea I have been thinking the same thing when I read about the 3 things that will get you 'a year off' Seat belt ticket, 11 MPH over speed limit, and cell phone use ticket. Now I don't want to sound like these are things that should not be taken seriously, BUT as EVERYBODY knows how easy it...

    California Scales and prepass

    Update: We were back in California last week and was red lighted on the prepass on every open scale. I've gotten in a habit of running my refer (all the time) and running the center (loaded/empty) lane. So far we have not been pulled in for an inspection.

    Punitive Lock

    I have seen the time after we have turned down a couple of W/G loads they have taken the W/G lock OFF the truck. Man after a few S/E loads were offered, and I thought the W/G loads we turned down was bad!

    California Scales and prepass

    We loaded in Oregon late last week and was red lighted (prepass)to pull into the first California scale. Once on the scale I was told to pull into an inspection bay. The inspector told me not to set the brakes, he chocked the wheels and came up to the drivers window and asked me if I could turn...

    New Exctr. rules and F.S.C.

    We unloaded near Seattle last week and when the 'layover' came over the c-link it said there was NO layover planned. We could go home or where ever we wanted but no pay what so ever.

    Trailer for sale

    ??? I'm a FECC contrator and I thought it would be OK to post this in this section. I see that you are a moderator and are with a different company and that's why you're able to post in the FECC section. Instead of the sarcastic remark if I did something wrong tell me or delete the post or...

    Great to hear. I'm sure they are not going to be putting any decals on my 10 year old refer trailer being pulled by a Gray truck.

    Can't login

    I don't like the POS at all. If you turn down the volume so you don't have to listen 'home messaging' then you can't hear when something important comes on.(such as a load offer) It's all there. Let's try another, when you get the information for a run. 'A new message has arrived' ....what...

    Dallas

    I was 'singing the 'Extra Lease Refer Trailer' Blues' from when I first talked with the guy charge (Dan or Don) years ago. A couple of months ago I posted that our revenue was down, our runs were short. While our millage rate is up slightly from last year, our gross is still down. I just...
