It is now 7:30 in the morning,ive reread this post,for the last hour,dont know how it filrtered to the top,as i thought it was locked.Here it is in a nutshell.Previous to the new contrack,in most cases our fsc at fed ex cc was high enough to pay for all our fuel for the runs we do,i dont know where you guys are thinking,but the fsc is just to suppliment the higher costs of fuel,not pay our feuel bill.Sure it was nice while it was going on,and that was for many years.When this all came about,I told management i'd give it 30 days,not just leave like some friends of mine did,i even had conversation with another company,no sence bring up who that was.Bottom line,as I stated previously,my income here at FECC is better than anywhere else I can go.I am not in W/G,and just found out recently why I'm still on their list and not in,in some ways maks sence other ways no,but i'm not sure i can make anymore money if i were in W/G,as I do some W/G loads now,and,have done in the past few years.My fsc is based on 6 mpg,well in most cases ive slowed down to the point ,my truck gets 7.5 mpg,this takes that fsc to where it almosts pays for my fuel again.What i have changed,is my non paid miles,i no longer waist 4 or 500 miles each month dead heading home,I'm also more selective in where my loads go,not necessarily what the pay is,except if a 40% advance wont get the job done then they are going to have to find someone else,and that is deliver,deadhead to layover,and probable dead head to pick up,I allow 200 miles for that in evryrun,sometimes it s more,other times its less.Now you all know my secret to sucess.Its worked for me for many years,cant say it would work for you.
While we are on a rant,it doesnt matter who you are leased or where you work,to get on a forum and bash the hand that feeds you,if you have all those troubles with what ever company,why do you stay there?
