Your not a jerk and I don't take it personal either. Every business has a learning curve. I don't have cash to burn but i'll be fine. I've stopped many CC drivers that referred me to their owners but when I call the owners asking for advice or help, no one returns my calls. Technically I am...

What's a tag axle and what's a tval truck? Thanks again for sharing your knowledge about the expediting industry with me.

(Cut & Paste) I hope all is well . I have trucks that are currently being built and wanted to reach out to with some pricing and a brief spec. Right now the turn time would be pretty quick. Take a look and let me know if you have any questions. 2014 Freightliner Cascadia 113 Detroit DD 13...

Hello, I am interested in investing in the Fedex CC white glove division as a non-driving owner operator. I am a multiple route contractor in Fedex Ground P&D but expediting is new to me. I have a few questions that I need answered; please help me if you can. • White glove is a team only...

Re: New To edex Custom Critical Well lets put it this way. After Fuel and tolls I would like to make $700-$1000 profit per truck. The drivers could have the rest and I will pay for the maintenence on the truck from my share. I wouldn't mind paying a high salary as long as I recieve a fair rate...

Re: New To edex Custom Critical What's a fair rate to pay team drivers?

Well it’s me again. I wanted to hire a team to run one tractor. I would to pay the team 40 cents a mile for all miles and I will pay everything else. Does this sound like a good deal for the team based on the flatrate program?

You should call 1(800) go fedex and ask them for the location of the terminal in your area. The best thing to do is actually find a driver and ask them for the number of the P&D manager. Check Craiglist for any routes available for sale in your area. This will help you out alot.

Well there is only one way for me to find out.

Does it seem realistic now?

Bush truck leasing approves almost anyone in the trucking industry. If you have low credit you'll still get approved. They will charge you a high interest rate but you'll get a truck. If bush is your only option get it.

Well with the flat rate system all miles are paid including deadhead (DH pays the same flat rate). Over 8001 miles per month puts a solo driver in the $1.25 per mile bracket plus the average .37 FSC (FSC might be a little/less more i don't know the correct amount). That's how I came up with...

Alright well I guess that's not realistic.

Do you think its realistic for a Solo driver to drive at least 2200 miles a week? The driver would make $1.25 a mile + .37 FSC = $1.62 a mile. 2200 miles x $1.62 = $3564 total revenue. I guessed that tractors trucks would get about 6 miles per gallon. So 2200/6 = 367. 367 gallons by 3.65 a...

That's a good point.
