Last year while attending MATS (before we started driving) we noticed several FECC trucks in a group. Is there a designated area for C and D units? We woould like to meet some of our fellow drivers.:)

I doubt you remember us but we were admiring your truck at the Troy Freightliner dealership when you apologized to us when we told you we had a Freightliner by Alumi Bunk. Apology accepted, we get 9-10.22 mph depending on the load. :P

Confused. Need help on selecting a generator. Proheat or Rigmaster or something else out there I'm not aware of that's worthy of it's price. Looking for heat and air.

We had the extreme pleasure of meeting Terry this week. He was at the J in Pontoon Beach IL, across the river from St Louis. He was very informative and helpful and has a comic sense of humor. Thanks for your insight, we enjoyed it. I felt like a met a celebrity. Hope to see you at the truck...

We are now home after 30 days on the road. Fed Ex is wonderful, I can't say enough about their headquarters in Green Ohio, I was very impressed with the professional and friendly staff. In 30 days we hit 23 states and Ontario. We were down 5 days due to air conditioning problems in three...

I thumbed through The Next Exit and wondered if it would be money well spent, I might pick that up on your recomendation. We too are doing the lo carb thing but several resturants are picking up on it and serving decent meals. We only plan on one meal out a day. Personally I think this will...

Hey thanks gal and guys. We are driving for Fed Ex. We have a 84 inch sleeper with micro, fridge and sink, but no potty (maybe next time). I really didn't know if we needed to take our own towels. This is totally new to us but more exciting than anything we have have done so far. It's so...

We are two weeks away from orientation. I would like to hear some survival tips from the ladies out there. Where are the best showers? What is essential to carry in the kitchen? Etc.

Well, we have narroned the truck choice down to 2. But now we find financing for the one really want is not going to happen because of our inexperience. Any sugestions of where to go for financing for a newcomer?:-( :-(

Hey thanks everyone for the input. This is a big career change for us and we want to check out every nook and cranny. We are mid 40's to 50 yrs old and have lost alot in the steel industry and certainly don't want that to happen to us again. I think this forum is the best thing we have found...

Tell me what you know or have experienced with TRAC leases, how do they affect taxes?

I am trying to decide between two trucks one of which is with Alumi-bunk. I am finding them to be very pushy, the salesman has "choosen" a truck for us even though it is not what we want. The salesman insists this is what FedEx wants me to have. Somethings not right in Detroit. Your message...
