    Question about promaster 2500 or 3500 with 12' length cargo area

    In my 42 years I’d say 95% of the pallets I’ve seen have been 48x40.

    Why does Fedex CC not accept applicants from Florida?

    In all seriousness, everyone needs/wants to go home more than most realize. Doctor/Dentist. Do taxes. Home emergency. Fedex probably has a history of people quitting earlier than usual if they live in an out of the way Area. Heck, one of my biggest issues with Fedex was my inability to get...

    It’s kind of hard to throw out people living in your lot with unmarked Expediters camping out.,

    Why does Fedex CC not accept applicants from Florida?

    Terri, all your “ifs” and “concerns” make sense. I wonder why a Fedex recruiter probably turn him down. LOL.

    Need advice regarding warranty denial

    Congratulations. Who’s the salesman willing to fight for his customer? And what dealership? If you want to tell us who the dealership that gave you a hard time is, that’s up to you. Sounds like a good dealership to avoid when you have the option. ( My opinion of 90% of Freightliner...

    Why pay has fallen...

    I believe UPS pays OTR drivers by the hour. What the XPO driver said probably simplified I run 600 miles per pay at 50 cpm in 11 hrs. I take home about $275 per day for my 11 hours. I didn’t take the time to read the article.

    Need advice regarding warranty denial

    If the salesman would like you to buy another truck from him he ought to go fight for you like you were his own flesh and blood. I would reach out to a Detroit Rep. I always, if possible, went to Cummins or Detroit for engine work. In the 70’s had a new Pete, Cummins power. Had a serious lack...

    Need advice regarding warranty denial

    I would go ahead with repairs. I would vigorously work with a rep to reach a solution. Yes , you can get a lawyer afterwards,but that’s more time and money. Let’s hear an opinion from our own Freightliner Reps , Bob and Linda Caffee.

    Need advice regarding warranty denial

    I had 10 Freightliners in the 80’s. In 2001 I bought a new Western Star. Just as FL was buying them. That was my last Freightliner/Detroit purchase. Over silly crap like that ! A Detroit rep told me a repair would be covered if it was in a Century, but they wouldn’t cover the same repairs in...

    Hey guys, newbie here and had some questions about Expediting.

    Nope. But unless you know a good owner with patience, I think they’re the best game in town. They’re trainers, so they’re patient They don’t take advantage of the unknowing. They offer a lot of opportunities. I used to hate those Red Trucks., Until I saw how many people they’ve helped. Plus...

    newbie Expediting

    How common is $6000 per week in a reefer ? For years I’ve heard a well known fleet owner in Tx wouldn’t let you take time off until you hit $25,000 for the month. That’s why Zorry recently said a hard working team should be able to payoff the $80,000 Reefer he’s selling in 6 months. It’s a...

    newbie Expediting

    I think you can do those numbers with 3 companies. My friend Zorry did them with 2 companies and seldom worked very hard. He didn’t take a lot of time off. Years ago, there was an old thread on your best month financially. A Michigan C unit reported $40,000 for a month. I know a midwestern...

    That’s exactly how my wife did it 5 or 6 years ago. The state paid the school $4200. She got a class A. Then went straight into my straight truck.
