You guys tell me, anything I can do, anybody I can talk to so this does not happen any more? Or am I just that unlucky? 90% of the time when I get a transfer load I get the short end of the stick. And here I am talking about the first part of the transfer, not the second part when there is no...

Saturday morning at around 4 o'clock I get a call with a load opportunity for Monday morning. Couldn't this have waited until day time to be given out? Did they really have to wake up a bunch of us for a load that would not pick up for other 50+ hours? Or is it just me? :rolleyes:

Do you get your insurance through FedEx, or on your own from other place? Why one or the other? I get mine through FedEx, haven't looked around for other insurance. Too easy not to worry about paying it on time and stuff like that since it comes out of the paycheck. I might miss on a better...

Tell me what is wrong with this picture? Yahoo! British navy follows these 2 boats, pirates surrender, they discover on board machine guns, RPGs, ammo, and a few other things, they even blow up one of the boats, but they let the scumbags go because of 'apparently insufficient evidence'. What...

Tell us where you are, of course only if you want to be 'bothered' by other EO members. :D Right now I am at home, hopefully not for long.

What is the difference between the pro numbers that start with 2xxxxxxx.x and 5xxxxxxx.x? Prior to this year I used to do about 90% of the ones starting with 2. This year has changed. I do about 80% of the 5's.

Is this a programming error with the load opportunity system, or done on purpose? Sitting in Atlanta, I got a load opportunity that picks up in Memphis, TN and delivers somewhere in MS. 380 mi deadhead 100 mi run $160 pay I might be off a little in those numbers since I am getting old and...

What bluetooth headset are you using? Would you buy the same one again if the one you have quit working? I have a small Motorola, I forget the model, which is good at home or walking, but when the truck is moving I have trouble hearing. I would like to buy one that works better for our...

The last Sterling truck rolls off the assembly plant in St. Thomas. More here: The End of An Era - St. Thomas Times-Journal - Ontario, CA Sad, but I think we will hear more stories like this in the future.

For those that were on the conference call this morning, what do you think about the things discussed? Just a reminder, there is still a chance to get on. Every top of the hour until 3 pm or so.

About a year ago I took a $75,000 diamond ring from Atlanta to Memphis. Paid very good. I had to wait about an hour in the parking lot for them to arrange payment before I could deliver. It was a young guy that I delivered it to. Just hope she said yes, since that is a lot of money there.

B unit drivers, how does the new rate work for you? Have you had more offers than before the rate change? What are you doing with the short loads (>75 miles)? Any other comments about the new rate? Thanks.

Let me know please what you would do in my situation. My C-link hasn't worked right since the day it was installed. It would not track right, sometimes better than others, but most of the time it shows me 70 miles away from where I actually am. I even got a service failure because of this...
