    Longest Load Accept Streek

    Now Thats what I am talking about, everything just comming together. Hey do you think Dispatchers would really let you know what freight lane are the busiest, or more likely to have you sit in a express center just to have it covered. AbeJr (Still slightly a Newbie) FedExCC #D6425 OOIDA MEMBER

    Longest Load Accept Streek

    Has anyone ever made an attempt to take every run offered over a set time say 3 months and then break it all down to see if it was worth it or not.

    Landing Gear

    davekc, I will check the maker when I go to the garage later this evening. Looking at the landing gear, it has a handle on each leg. And if you pull the handle the leg will extend itself and lock into a slot. Now I had done that before fully extending the gear(maybe I do not need to do this)...
