I am curious---does anyone who has the new Ameriscan (Data Cold thing) have one that works like FedEx said they would? For example, anyone not have to send in temp tapes for pickup/delivery? Anyone not getting requests for temp readings? Anyone not getting out of range messages while in range...

With the electronic big brother logging equipment in place for FedEx now we are either forced to log our personal usage from dinners to movies to whatever....or try and get everything done within "their allocated/designated" personal time of 45 minutes. We have resorted to renting vehicles as...

My personal favorite alarm is the box is out of TEMP!!!!! OMG!!!! CAll Dispatch NOW!!! Yes, it surely is because it is 4 hours before we need to turn it on........

I don’t know how indispensable truck owner operators/drivers are going to be in the near future. The pool of drivers is shrinking daily as well as people buying trucks…especially expediter trucks. The fact that many expedite truck and sleeper manufacturers went out of business in the past year...

Yes, I guess this is what it is. $68.00 a month and we toss our data cold out I guess if we want to continue to be TVAL.

You are absolutely correct Greg. 49 CFR 376.12(c)(1) requires a motor carrier using leased equipment to assume "exclusive possession, control, and use of the equipment" for the duration of the lease. If a motor carrier is issued an EOBR remedial directive, then it must install (or have...

I don't know who agreed to having EOBR's. I imagine, that they tossed it to the phantom Driver Council, which, for all intensive purposes, is not a true council but merely a group of FedEx hand-picked un-named persons that attend unpublished council meetings at which no minutes are taken....and...

49 CFR 376.12(c)(1) requires a motor carrier using leased equipment to assume "exclusive possession, control, and use of the equipment" for the duration of the lease. Owner- operator vehicles leased to such carrier would be required to have EOBRs installed even if the owner-operator holds...

Offended? Ah, you must be the prophet...LOL I will be sure to look within....LOL. LOL Actually, truth be told, I am kinda sad...this site used to be the first place I, and many others, came to for actual advice and meaningful conversation or debate. I really miss coming to this site. So...

Sigh….I should have known better than to post here again…it is same ole, same ole… Dave, I did not realize that you were out here driving again? As I stated in another post in the FedEx forum, (where I was told FedEx related posts were to be placed), we know several couples who USED to be...

How does the EOBR log drivers on loads that require DDPS? If the truck is stopped for fuel, food, potty breaks, scales and the non-driving person has to get up from sleeper; does it indicate both drivers on duty? Does it move the non-driving person to on duty not driving? If so, does this...

This is an issue that must only concern a few of us...I would think people would be questioning FedEx's ability to designate on where they can and can not go with their own trucks while not under load or dispatch. I know that we rarely sit at a truck stop and part of the "enjoyment" of not...

Concerns EOBR Some of my concerns regarding the EOBR. Privacy of Data--- Who owns the information? Who should have access to the data? Who should have first right to correct inaccuracies without penalty? What are the legal implications of data collected? How do I get access to the data? If...

Which rules are you referring to? I am interested in knowing which are FMCSA regulations and which are rules designated by FedEx Custom Critical?

There are many issues when you accept an unconfirmed load that many don't realize a couple are listed below: Your truck is not eligible for pre-dispatch because your truck is NOT confirmed for delivery. You are not given detention pay if you get there at designated time and consignee is not...

We had some friends that used to drive for Panther and they were cited for not having the ability to produce copies of their logs upon a side of the road DOT inspection. The DOT told them, they were running illegal. Cited them and fined them. Period. Panther's response was they would take care...

We love ours! They are very warm and as others said they are wind proof and almost water proof. They seem to run a little on the large size...something you may want to think about when ordering them. They are kinda bulky and do take up some space...but this morning when it was 10 degrees...

Yup, I figured that out after I posted originally, then I tried to explain and made my post even more confusing. :rolleyes: I really was only going to comment on the 34% figure, which still seems like a big percentage to me. Rather than delete my post, I chose to try to “make it” make...

I am not sure what this means but I DO know that there are huge differences in policy and procedures between Panther and FedEx. :)
