Thanks for your replies-appreciate it. When I get mine put in I'll set it for just 1 minute after shutoff. I think the old Clinks only draw 2 amps.

Custom Critical has price agreements with many companies, so depending on the customer's contract that's where the rate to pay a truck comes from. I take low paying loads if I want to get back home and it takes me towards there or a better center than I'm in. If not then, I'll offer a price...

I still have the old Clink system and have heard the new units draw a lot more juice than the old units. I just talked to 1 B unit driver that while parked after 40 minutes it drew his battery down enough where he couldn't start the engine. He said his battery was in good shape. Anybody else...

Do you drive a B unit? Happen to know how many amps the new Clink units draw? I talked to a B unit w/new unit, it killed his battery in 40 minutes and had to get it jumped. I'm not in hurry to replace mine with this new contraption. It has bells and whistles I don't need, and will just...

As a B unit, I now have the secret to success at Fedex. Paint the front portion of my van red. But I would prefer 5 star hotels not 4, otherwise the red paint is coming off. Member of the Dirty Glove Division.

Have any local repair shops you would like to recommend? Started this have a list of non dealer locations to get a better value on emergency repairs for B Units that are on the road. PHI, WIL Centers Vineland Auto Electric: Vineland Auto Electric Home of rebuilt starts alternators...

Question: I noticed there's a scanning option on the display. Can this unit scan our B/L and shipper's B/L, and send to FedX eliminating the need to ship them via Tripak?

As a B unit I have have gone out of service, and headed home but put in a note that I was available for any short enroute home. Right before I get back home that had a load and called me up and asked me what I considered to be a short load. Turns out they had a 300 mile load. Turns out I didn't...

I noticed that the DH miles to the pick up will be from the last poll the system takes to calculate that. If you shut your truck down and the system shuts off before it can report its position, your DH miles to the PU might not show actual DH miles to that PU location. This is what I have...

Question: Can the stay on time after engine cut off be chosen? In my old current unit I have the clink stay on for only 5 minutes so my battery doesn't drain. By doing this my battery and altenator have longer life.

If you want action on a suggestion or a complaint, I suggest writing directly to #2 Jason Fredricks. He responds back with either a letter or a phone call within 1 week of your issue in my experience. Just make sure its a worthwhile issue. I've never seen any negative consequences communication...

nightcreacher said "its a safety issue.when you have run 690 miles,including your dead head,and your getting tired.you have an accident,not your fault,but the officer sees you have driven almost 700 miles,the last 11 hours,what do you think is going to happen?" The Flex in Flex 700 should be...

jj214 says I have spent enought time with the dispatchers to know they really have neither the time nor the motivation to deliberately pass over a driver. Do mistakes happen? Of course. But by and large, you are offered the runs you come up for. The system is not perfect, no system is. Yes I...

Too all who believe this DVA rule makes sense, and at the same time the DVA will offer you runs 250 miles away, you can't recognize anymore when the company screws you. You're so used to it you've given up. I know the other carriers are worse, except for maybe Landstar Maybe you're in White...

I started this post. Russellville KY IS in the Nashville center. Its not in the Lex or Lou center. I was parked in the Nashville center 5 miles out of town, so I was IN the NAS center. They told me this rule came into affect October 19th, that day. >75 wasn't a factor,the other B unit didn't...

The brilliant minds in Green OH had another brainstorm. If you arrive in a center you dwell time now means nothing within that center. Oct 18 I ck'd into Nashville and was the only unit ck'd of any size that Sunday. I'm a single B unit, I didn't have a >75. On Monday sometime a single B unit...

If you want a call from Jason Frederick you have to write him a letter directly to him, state your issue, and leave your phone number in the letter. Talking to your CC and asking for a ph call back from him won't work. He'll call you back the same day he reads your letter. I've already gotten 2...

I got a discount a number of times using Fedex Ground. I didn't get 50%, I got 10 or 15%. I was told I'd get 50% for Fedex Express Air. You have to show your Fedex ID card. If for some reason you you go in and you don't get a discount, save your receipts and call the fedex customer service toll...

Send a letter to the number 2 Jason Frederick at FedexCC and let him know how you feel. Complaining only here about the 700 mi cut is fruitless. I've posted about this 700 mi cut off here and unless Jason Frederick get a big pile of letters from those of us who want to run more than 700 mi...
