It looks as if most of you think I'm "bashing" FedEx C.C.... Well I'm not, but if that's the way you have taken it, I'm sorry. I have been lucky with them, I have gotten good or super loads more times than not. And I got a lot of good loads from the Detroit area. I started this thing to inform...

jackdixon_2000 If you call being told that because I live in the Detroit area that 95 to 98% of the loads I will be offered will be to or from Canada bashing then OK I guess I am. What I am "bashing" is the fact that drivers from other areas (states) get to transfer a Canada load then get...

With more that 10 years in expediting, yes at times I have been spoiled, but the last time I was home was the 2nd week of January and with more than 12 weeks away from home I think comming home was OK. I enjoy this vocation, if I didn't I would move on, I have said for many years "keep me...

Bob & Linda, All I'm saying is that as a team we were offered ONLY Canada loads! We were asked to pick up in Canada and transfer them in Romulus or Port Huron. OR go into Canada from Port Huron or Romulus. And the best paying load was $1.37 w/FSC. But I must admit we were offered a Friday...

I guess you don't know what "solo" miles are? 19 years in expediting and I guess I need to be more exact in my statments. Team Miles= are the miles from your current location to pick up and delivery that a solo driver can't do in the time needed for delivery AND be legal on there logs. I'll...

I think if I post the company I'm going to there would be a mass-migration to them. there fleet is only "D" units, 101" wide and 108" tall, barn doors and committed to "run", none of the 2 weeks out and a week at home (I don't see how anyone can make any money that way?). Just remember some of...

There is a new program being tested, and I'm moving to another company because of it. I too live in Michigan (over 50 years)and I can't understand why our state goverment can't get things going again. We were a heavy hitter for freight in and out, when I first started in the business I almost...
