I never except any loads that aren't profitable enough to make it worth my while. I might go 300 miles to a pick up if the load is 1700 loaded miles, but never got an offer like that ever, as B unit, single driver. I never pay attention to my acceptance rate and I still get plenty of load opps...

I think its even more weight based on my past dispatches before June 1 2014

June 3, New rate (Cut) plan delivery into NYC. Wow I get that new NYC del money. Bottom line- total miles 641, total pay $514.59= .80 per mile. DHPU was 269 mi. Same old "new" FDCC MO This was a B load.

Just did my first New Pay (Cut) run . I just made 16% less money. My new pay included money for tolls, all DHPU paid, and a deduction of making a $150 minimum to $101 base pay. The whole time this change has been advertised as the New Pay Plan, but its the same OLD Fedex tricks, where they win...

One a customer calls in an order, and it happens to be ready earlier, its up to the customer to let fedex know if its ready earlier than schedule. Sometimes the customer is on the delivery side and doesn't even know or ck if its ready early. Some shipper's do let fedex know. I've been on both...

I'm a B unit that has been sitting on a less than 75 for 3 days. When I checked in there was only 1 B unit ahead of me in TRE. I'm based in WIL, was sitting first in dwell. 0 units were in PHI. The past 2 days a few B loads were dispatched out of TRE and PHI, none in WIL. Today a load I lost...

I know cutting out bread is one of the things to cut out, but I have cut back on bread but haven't been able to eliminate it. The sweets and pasta or easy for me to cut back. I still take my coffee with half and half, but less sugar. One of my favorite TV programs is Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives...

There's a difference between taking umbrage and debating a subject in my view. No harm was ever done merely discussing a subject.

Being overweight is probably the biggest cause of high BP. Its a major struggle to be at the recommended weigh for one's height. I started a week and half ago of exercising for 30 minutes straight daily,to give my heart a work out. I do feel better. Now I have to cut down on all the great...

One factor you didn't think of was its very relaxing to soak in warm moist heat. My pressure was checked within 1 hr of my soak. A full bath would probably have been more relaxing. For me I have no doubt what I did relaxed me, and lowered my pressure when I went in for my physical. I will...

I doubt if ginger will work if you eat a lot of fast food, don't exercise daily, smoke, and are sleep deprived. Did you eat ginger besides your regular routine and have your BP lowered?

Could you give the source of your info? The two BP readings I got, My bladder wasn't empty, my legs weren't crossed,and my sitting position was the same. Have you actually tried what I suggested? If you feel my advice is so off the mark, go ahead and delete it. I will keep my medical info I get...

From this medical study: The effects of preinduction warming on temperature and blood pressure during propofol/nitrous oxide anesthesia. Quote:These data confirm our hypothesis that redistribution hypothermia can be minimized by preinduction warming of peripheral tissues. Prewarming decreases...

This works! An hour before your DOT Physical soak your feet in very warm water. As hot as you can stand it without being burned. A bathtub is best. As the water cools you can replenish with more warm water. I lowered my top number by 10 points doing this. I had a doctor's appt before my...

Not sure when I posted a message to you or how long ago this convo started. But buy your pic and the mention of the Dodge van seems I saw you parked in Iowa near south of Omaha. It was near a GM plant that I was delivering to, and one the one you had dropped off at. This must have been a few...

Any size vehicle transporting freight across state lines needs authority! The best route to take if you have your own authority is to make sales calls directly to shippers in your area. Offer them a discount for any return loads they might have. If you run a cargo van with a reefer set up you...

The one i use fits standing up in a Ford van. That's why I took off the wheels. They make these beds in heights that easily fit standing up in a van. Thats what you need so you have room for freight. Shop until you find one that height.

Yes that's what I've been using for 29 years. I just took of the wheels on the bottom. If I'm loaded with freight waiting to unload and want to sleep I set it up width wise in the front behind the seats. If i'm empty I set it up lengthwise.

Not sure about the extra $100. They reduce the minimum pay from 150 to 115-135. New B units get .80/mi instead of .85. Luckily I just replace my unit this Jan so I will get .85/mi loaded. The DHPU is still only .15 per mile. The change is you get paid for all DHPU miles. They say they will pay...

Yes its a fact starting in June. Your owner can print you out the new rates for all units. It doesn't include White Glove units.
