On the black water, we have a 7 gal for the toilet. We get approx 5 days (2 ppl) of regular use. The system uses a high pressure elec. flush. This allows effective flushing without using much water. On the gray water, we have a 45 gal tank with a pump for quick emptying. Our fresh water is a...

But as you have indicated in the previous paragraph, the ones scooping up the biscuits are't the ones that are hungry!

When we went to orientation, the statement from Patty G. went something like this...Any firearm equals termination PERIOD! She further elaborated that the quickest way to get terminated is to get caught with a firearm. So assuming she and her replacement were/are consistent in their routine, all...

Haven't found that out yet...obviously not a regular. Seems harsh since he declared the weapon before the search. Rgardless, his contract will likely be terminated. Kinda sad being some of the places drivers have to go to. I can understand why he might feel the need to carry. When I worked for...

Lockdown Lifted At NAVAIR Base In Lakehurst, New Jersey After FedEx Driver Taken Into Custody - wcbstv.com LAKEHURST, N.J. (CBS) ― The NAVAIR Lakehurst base at the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst was placed under lockdown on June 21, 2010 about 9:15 a.m. CBS Not sure what he was...

I think you pretty much got that one right except for the second part of the deal. As a former driver of a "forced dispatch fleet owner" told me, they were told to accept the load and it would be adjusted to a pre-agreed rate (flat rate) so if you got the load offer at .94 and one of these...

I agree with the little green guy (BTW exactly what kind of turtle are you?) Keeping comfortable in whatever type of vehicle you are driving is crucial...not just for retention but for safety also. We bought a generator when we bought our truck...using green guy's #s, and the fuel cost at the...

Good timing! This one can be an Expedite CV YouTube - Air Car by Guy Negre on CNN

True, I should qualify as in my example, none of the loads are at a loss...just some more profitable than others...inching the per-mile up past a pre determined base line. We do not take any load that cost us...as A-team eluded to in a previous post...we do not donate our truck or time to the...

Wouldn't call that Cherry Pickin...From my OP, "The variables of course would be destination, DH options after del. Tolls, PU times and hold-overs (weekend) wharehousing etc".

Its a cargo contractor...just like us. He landed this way...no "REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT" flag. Might be legal but this particular contractor made the National News for recent crashes linked to questional maintenance practices. Just today, we saw a major carrier's trailer with mismatched tires and...

DCA or Dollar Cost Averaraging should be a basic factoring in you business decisions. For Example; Load 1 $ 500.00 @ 220 all miles Load 2 1800.00 @ 1400 all miles Load 3 500.00 @ 418 all miles Total 2800.00 @ 2038 all miles For an average of $1.37...

Located at an airport near Milford, CT was this cargo plane. As you can see in the pic, a common padlock is used in place of the FAA PMA hold down clasp. Not sure if this would pass an FAA inspection but Im sure the rationale is that a $3 pad lock is a lot cheaper than a $200 clasp. I...

When we first bought our truck while heading home, (with paper tag/plate) we were pulled over and had our sleeper inspected....during such time the officer asked if he could look in the refrigerator which we allowed. Later he apologized and said they have been having problems with drug runners...

While on a HAZMAT load this Friday, we pulled into a South Carolina weigh station and was promptly ordered to pull over for an inspection (we have the 2010 inspection sticker in plain view on the passenger windshield). As is my routine, after pulling over, turning on all lights and flashers, I...

I stand corrected, they do call it apparel...we have several different variations, all from FEDEX and the sweater vest is my wife's favorite...she says I look kinda sexy in it (but then she isn't wearing her glasses when she makes that comment) Actually I hope they would come out with a FEDEX...

We always wear variations of FEDEX uniforms as designed and provided by FEDEX including parkas, sweaters etc. I don't think its a good idea for everyone going out on their own uniforming-up in their own design and calling it FEDEX. We contract with FEDEX and therefore abide by their guidelines...

True, exempt items in the width (but with limitations) include mirrors, aerodynamic enhancements (non structual) etc. However the NYC chart as provided by NYC plainly shows length @ 35' and width @ 8', see below. As to the Atlas stating 40', (in another post) since it is not an official...

Sorry Gregg, my bad, It stemmed from a discussion I had with another FDCC O/O as we were sharing our experiences with some dispatchers that seemed to have no knowledge of what our limitations are even though they have all the data on a computer screen just 2 clicks away...probably 1 click with...

Got a request to post my FEDEXCC post in the General forum so I will repeat it hear with the link.... Are you nyc legal? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apparently NYC has for some time had restrictions on straight trucks limiting...
