    northeast

    I seriously doubt an owner could afford to pay me enough to run strictly the northeast. As far as routeing, I wouldn't worry too much about it. No sense getting an ulcer before you even get there. Remember, while it is expedited freight, it isn't a dying patient in the back of that thing...

    northeast

    The very first run FedEx CC gave me, straight out of orientation, picked up near Pittsburgh and delivered to Eagle Outfitters, Union Square, Manhattan. Talk about breaking somebody in. I am from the southeast and never driven in NY before. The saving grace was delivery time was 2100. I really...

    fedex rates

    My load acceptance percentage was hovering around the 80% mark through August. Since then I'm at about 50% if that tells you anything. The good news is my income hasn't changed much. Like ATeam stated I take pride in my stats but business is business.

    the art of sitting still

    I bought Civ IV months ago only to find out my comp wouldn't support the video. But my new one does..... just got started on it last night. I had played before and knew it was a great time waster and it is.

    Centramtic APU

    Has anyone got any experience with one of these? I heard them talking about them on XM a few months ago and may be getting some kind of APU soon. I know I don't want ProHeat and have read up on what you think about Rigmaster and Thermo King as well.

    I heard the same things about the 3126 "AFTER" I bought my 99 FL70 with 515,000 on it.... Stupid newbie, what can I say. The second owner (who I bought it from) said he and the previous owner had babied the truck and judging by condition I couldn't argue. I now have 565k on it with no problems...

    information on Fedex

    I have been with them for about 6 months so I will give you my impression as a recent contractor. As a solo driver you will feel like the red headed step child in the company at times. Team trucks don't have a clue what its like for solo's unless they have done it for more than a week or two at...

    the art of sitting still

    All good ideas. I appreciate all the response. My laptop bit the dust just after I posted and my new one just got here today. I do have TV and VCP (older truck, older technology) and I do play alot of online poker. I can fill most of my time but when I hit the 24 to 48 hour mark I start losing...

    the art of sitting still

    Ok folks, I've been at this about 6 months and I need some advice on how to handle the idle time. I start going bonkers after 24 to 48 hours and head toward the house. I'm a solo for FECC. Am I just in the wrong business for me or will it get better. Also, I don't have an APU. Any...
