    April location's and other gossip

    The problem with that is that you risk replacing the dispatch order with a "let's make a deal" system where the last guy on the board undercuts everyone above him to jump the list. In some ways that's business, but it can become a slippery slope pretty quick also.

    April location's and other gossip

    The stacking up generally happens when we have a direct shipper sending a lot of freight to a given area. More or less vans in the fleet does not solve that problem and we definitely have to cover the freight. I have seen 5 to 6 stacked up fairly often. I consider stacked up to be 3 or more...

    April locations, but I won't promise spring!

    Is that a veiled insult? You should ship your bike down here. Somebody might as well get to ride it :D

    Unknown van

    Me too. I don't know that I want one of these vans, but fwd is not what would keep me away. I would wait to see how good of a job they do with parts availability.

    Poor guy....did I tell you that I got a TV for the van from Load One's rewards program? :D

    Sprinters & DEF

    Anything is possible, I guess. The oil would have to be getting to the exhaust system somehow though. I think the dpf problem is in the fact that the sprinter dpf does not regen itself like the big truck dpf's do. Somebody mentioned a manual regen once. If that is something that can be done, I...

    New owner questions

    I think you guys are in left field. The OP owns the truck and will have a driver in it if I understand the first post correctly.

    Somebody should be able to tell you. Actually, your recruiter should be able to tell you that too....more direct.

    New owner questions

    One of the fleet owners may be able to help you, but I think you need to give them a little more info. What type of truck (van, straight, or t/t.... white glove or surface)? Will the driver be an employee or an independent contractor? Edit: Actually, I don't think FDXCC will be deducting...

    Sooooo.... all of this gay, drama queen rhetoric you keep posting is basicly useless, stupid and irrelevant in the near future?

    Changing lanes, BEWARE.

    If they are driving that fast, I'm not really concerned about what their next move is. That is their problem. I also have always used the center lane...and in the event the right lane backs up with stopped traffic tryng to exit the freeway, I'll move to the left again. I've seen way too many...

    Roughest Stretch of Road!

    I don't remember it being so bad in the straight truck, but in a van, the stretch of I-75 in Cincinnati from the outer loop to the bridge. The grooves are so deep that a van (at least mine) slips back and forth all the way through there. It scared me the first couple times I went through...

    The $12 showers

    For vanners (we don't get points anyway...just shower credits), I suggest having 2 or 3 friends that you trust and swap card numbers with. With a phone call or a text to verify that your buddy has some extra credits, you can be good to go pretty quick.
