    FedEx Ground may go union

    Screwed by BigBiz???? How can that happen in free society such as ours? Are their balls and chains being placed on the legs of workers? Do armed guards have checkpoints set up along the highways? Are the police stopping you and making you wait until you slip them a $10 bill? Reality check...

    Trying To Get My lips Wet

    Most companies have a hold on cargo vans at this point in time. Recruiters will tell you that they are not adding any additional cargo vans. I'd go for the schooling! As others have wisely said, "You will have more options."

    log book software

    I've sampled a few of the software logs. They are very time consuming and tech support is lacking when you are in a demo mode. That always makes me consider how it will after I have purchased the software. Hmmmm. Anybody got a suggestion for handwritten expense books?

    Duramax Update

    Ran back from Florida last week. The Duramax seems to maintain consistent fuel milage regardless of the speed. I ran a few hours at 70+ and it didn't phase the economy. Third generation engine has lower compression, so it turns over very easy. Runs quiet (well, as far as diesels are concerned)...

    Church Services

    I check out biblebelievers.com when I am on the road. They have state and city listings for churches. If they have a phone number listed and you need a ride from the truck stop to church, most will gladly offer you a ride if you can give them some advance notice. Just attended one of the best...

    The Impact Of The Big Three On Me

    Actually, socialists brought about unions. It was their design to create a revolt amongst the working class. Every totalitarian system is birthed by stirring up the working class. Think not? Just watch Hilliary's tricks over the next two years. While it is true that many companies had very...

    The Impact Of The Big Three On Me

    Amen on the UAW workers at the watering hole. I live within two blocks of the Duramax plant and a GM Truck and Bus assembly plant. The bars around those facilities do a good business at all hours of the day. I have a fellow church member who works for Delphi (what's left of them) who has told...

    Diesel Fuel

    Just put a new Duramax on the road. Did the break in as instructed. Varied the speeds between 50 and 55 mph. Ran first 100 miles around town before hitting the road. Ran another 100 to the first pick up point. Idles there for about 20 minutes while waitimg to load. Ran another 200 miles to the...

    The Impact Of The Big Three On Me

    Well, it wasn't the pump after all; well, sort of. The power steering hose was incorrectly routed and when I traveled over those lovely road construction areas on I-75 the downward thrust of the chassis would cause the hose to rub on a pulley. After 1200 miles of intermittent encounters with the...

    The Impact Of The Big Three On Me

    I have personally owned over 20 new vehicles; everything from Suburbans, to pick ups, to vans, to full size luxury, to compacts, and to sedans. Prior to 1987 every GM car that I owned has to be returned for a variety of service issues. For example, head replacements on a 1978 engine (valve...

    Is there enough freight to go around

    FedEx is considering adding a limited number of B units in (*****)(Sorry, it is not yet public information) based upon anticipated new business now in the works. That said, the transportation industry is experiencing a significant shortage of over-the-road drivers. An ATA study reported...

    bolt express

    Mark has actually called me 3 times since I first expressed an interest in driving for Bolt. He invited me visit the facility and take a look around. I opted for a company a little closer to home, but if things don't work out here I will definitely be talking with Mark again.
