    Fed Ex's Urgent Freight

    Maybe I am missing something. If Fed EX so much freight that they are brokering loads off the internet, why are so many of us sitting? Wouldn't it make sense to offer these loads to the contractors they already have? They do it with TPS. Soneone explain it to me....Please

    An Open letter to Akron and Memphis

    It has been reported that when Fred Smith started FED EX, drivers and pilots often used their own credit cards to purchase fuel. Money was tight, but the people associated with the company felt they were a part of a team. Sadly, that spirit is lacking at FED Ex CC. What can be done to restore...

    Need some driver feedback

    If this new load board is so sucessful for Fed Ex CC, why haven"t I been offered any of the loads? My income has dropped over 60% Bet yours hasn't. While you REMFs sit and take orders, the worker bees are starving!

    Load rating system with FED ex

    You raise a very good point. Watch your status checks. It would appear that the majority of runs are for D and E units. This would seem to be at odds with figures I have seen for the Expediting industry. It is my understanding that an audit was done by the people from Memphis, and they told...

    If you know how to install a shutoff for Clink, please let me know. Found out today that B trucks are allowed 930 drive minutes per day. Apparently if you drive to the corner store and stay there one hour DVA subtracts that hour from your drive time. My advice is to keep track of all your...

    Configuration of B vans at Fed Ex

    Recently, I ran into a friend with a brand new van. He asked before buying it, if it was okay to get a color other than white. "No Problem" was the answer. When he took delivery Fed Ex told him it would have to be painted white within 9 months inorder to maintain his contract. I talked to...

    FedEx

    RE: FECC Fact: I have been working for them for several years now. Fact: My income has increased slightly each year. Do I like everything they do? No! You can ask O/O from any company and they will have negative things to say. Try concentrating on the good. Where can you work part-time...

    How in the hell did he do that????

    Jim, That is a good idea. I have been trying to teach Hooligan to hit the button that will open the door on my van. So far he hasn't mastered the unlock proceedure. But he has looked me out several times. Bob

    cargo van

    Willy, I have a E250 HD that has been in service for over 4 years. You will probably want to get a 1 ton van. This will give you a chance at more loads. Also, consider getting it extended. The difference in comfort is worth the money. I have a GMC extended, and the additional space is...
