    FEDEX CC Recruiting unresponsive!

    Thanks again, ATeam, for all your assistance and advice in this matter. I really did want to try this, but all the research and financial spreadsheets I worked on pointed towards a long drive off a short pier. You all impress me;) This business is rough - more so than many others I've...

    FEDEX CC Recruiting unresponsive!

    Well, they said they weren't recruiting any trucks "for the west coast" any time soon, no matter what class. I don't want to relocate nor deadhead from Arizona given the ridiculous fuel costs, so I think I've decided on another path for now. Thanks for all you help guys, appreciate it...

    My Profit Is Down, So I Am Requesting That Carriers Supplement My Expenses

    Yep, keeeeep striking, keep pretending that you're worth $37 per hour to turn a lugnut, and the auto manufacturers will keep shipping those jobs out of the country until the Autoworkers Union is finished. Geezus, I've never heard of a more lucrative job for something so unskilled. It's not...

    FEDEX CC Recruiting unresponsive!

    Hey guys, Update here... Someone called me back last week, answered some of my questions, noted it was odd that I didn't receive a callback with all those voicemails. Anyways, I got the info packet (nice insert, Ateam ;) ) and I'm currently looking through it. He did mention that...

    FEDEX CC Recruiting unresponsive!

    OK, So I've called them and left a message four times at THREE different recruiter's voicemails. I've left two phone numbers with each message, and my address so they can send me more info. NADA.:mad: It's been over a month since I started leaving nice, pleasant messages and nothing. No...

    60/40?/fair?

    You think that there's a good chance of the driver getting hurt by just doing their job and therefore is entitled to all the income? That's really a reach to even bring that up. The truck (i.e. Business) must make money for the employee to have a job.

    60/40?/fair?

    OK - I've sat on ye ol' sidelines long enough.;) There seems to be a huge gap between the employee and employer mentality here, and I'll tell ya, its the same in my business. DISCLAIMER: I have been an employee. I was a **** good one. I never expected something for nothing, I always worked...

    Lifts

    Disclaimer: I do not expedite yet, I merely do local town deliveries up to 4000# total weight I have a Mitsubishi FUSO FE-649 16' dryvan with a tuck-under Waltco liftgate (1600# rating, I think). I had the option of buying a big, get-in-the-way one that hovered behind the door but the...

    Put a shower/toilet in? hard?

    Har har.:rolleyes: Public places? Love 'em. Now, do I like SHOWERING with the public? Not really. Don't like showering at the gym with a bunch of sweaty dudes, either. Just my personal preference. Same with a toilet. Not so much a phobia as I'd rather have one in the truck. Not exactly...

    Trucker Shutdown Underway!

    Just heard reports on NPR of shutdowns, slowdowns, etc with drivers being ticketed for impeding traffic on the East Coast. I'll be checking the truckstop tonight for truckers shutdown and giving out some free beer! :D EDIT: CNN says that its only sporadic. dangit. This will be ineffectual at...

    Put a shower/toilet in? hard?

    Yeah, that setup is interesting; however I agree the problems with such a setup would be numerous. UNLESS: one had access from the sleeper (a door) and not the box... hmm.:rolleyes:

    Put a shower/toilet in? hard?

    Ok, is it difficult to retrofit a sleeper with something like this? That toilet/shower combo I've been seeing looks pretty sweet. I'm seeing a lot of 96" sleepers, but not many with the combo. I guess I could buy a truck and then convert it by replacing a cabinet or something, but...I have...
