What happened to New Orleans area? Ive been here plenty of times in the past and never spent more than 24 hours in layover, Ive been here a week now. I would have split but this has always been a decent area. I just sent a message to FECC asking if they were still in business.

He's a speech I wrote for McCain, he wont give it, but I think you'd like to read it. My fellow Americans, over the last week my offices have been barraged by calls from you, with the best of intentions, opposing Hank Paulsons bailout plan. I understand how you feel, in fact I used to...

just as I suspected I received elevn load opportunties and wasn't first out on any. pretty irritating I was laid over in erie first in line received Load Opportunties from everywhere but erie.. it was ridiculous hundred of dh miles which made the rate offered to our truck pitiful anyway...

I was listening to XM and OOIDA stated on their show that 3% of the US's truck capacity has disappeared so far this year. That seems like a lot of trucks. I think we need to see more of a shakeout before rates move up to where they need to be. anyway just thought I'd pass that on.

D unit - Surface Expedite 1.15 per mile for all Inservice miles loaded or empty using practical miles. Plus fuel surcharge based on national average to keep fuel cost at 1.30 per gallon 150 for canada Tolls and Clink Paid 450 min pay for team trucks. How's that. This would...

I just checked up on myself, and I have thirteen threads all complaining, well except for one or two, so I'm sorry. To make up for it, I'd like to say "Its a beautiful day here in Harrsburg PA" Also I didn't notice any fuel mileage improvement with my Air-Tabs, but they do make the truck...

I'm curious, I had to cough up 108k plus to get into the expedite business. Does anyone know how much it costs to be a "Director of Operations" or a "Dispatcher"? I suspect the answer to that question is NOTHING. That being the case, who is more likely to care if the carrier succeeds...

According to the union American manufacturing jobs are being shipped overseas. The economy is in the dumps. So does it make sense to go on STRIKE, their timing couldn't be worse.

im puzzled by what I see as a disfunctional market in frieght rates. It seems to me that whenever I get a load offer to canada it always pays less than a comperable run inside the states. Inevitably I turn the load down. not because of anticanada bias but because crossing the border adds...

I rolled into Atlanta on fumes. Made my stop and planned on heading to the TA, for fuel and a shower. OOOPS my bad the TA is out of business, now Im in trouble because I really did need fuel, I scooted over to the PETRO and a few times I lost RPMS on the freeway due to sucking air but I made...

Looks like the FJ is the new laredo expedite terminal. I count 12 D units in the front lot alone. This sucks!!! Who is RJR and why do they have three brand new trucks down here. Big sleeper modeld too.

Does FECC have any freight in Seatle/Tacoma area. It is part of the Reno NV center but every time we go to reno we end sitting for a couple days

I am a contractor with FECC, it occurred to me that when I pull into a truck stop and it doesn't seem to matter where it is, I almost always will find another FECC truck. I almost never see a panther II straight truck, I occasionally see Landstar, but most of the time there is an FECC truck...

I have heard that it can be against the law to keep a handgun in your sleeper, however I was told that it is perfectly legal to carry a shotgun. So what's the deal do you guys carry guns or have liberals destroyed this industrie too. Incidently during the Rodney King riots in LA, I was working...

When you have to go you have to go. So heres an idea for you who don't like whizzing in the weeds. I occasionally use my small "butt" sized trash can as a crapper. All you need is Plenty of trash-can liners and some kitty litter. Once you've finished your bussiness, just tie up the bag and...

I am in the proccess of purchasing a truck in Indianna which I am going to lease onto FedEx CC, I need to get a base plate in CA. The DMV is telling me we need to pay CA sales tax which will be another 8k. All the dealers I talk to tell me if you lease onto a 48 state carrier NO sales tax is...

I just heard all new "E" units will be paid by the mile instead of by %. Change in any industry makes me a little nervous especially when that change generally works out to screw employees or sub-contractors. Anyone being paid the mile rate for an "E" unit at FED_EX and has the changed raised...
