    Fed Ex Custom Critical Franchise

    Im very unhappy at this news. FECC shouldn't be adding trucks anyway because they don't have enough frieght to suport the trucks they have on now. I had to come out of pocket by two thousand last month. Which means the priviledge of having a fedex sign on my truck along with having not been home...

    3 Loads For The Month

    This is last year for the same time period. So we're down better than half, having more in service time. I'm not sure what our load acceptance is, because new dispatch system makes it difficult to calculate, since it doubles the rate of truly ridiculous offers that are sent out, it no longer...

    tryhours

    I cant imagine they screwed you out of more than 5k, so sue them in small claims, only takes time. Find out who thier agent of service is in your state and serve them there. They wont show up you'll get a defualt judgemnet. After you get that send a copy of it to Dunn&Bradstreet. You might even...

    What happened to New Orleans area? Ive been here plenty of times in the past and never spent more than 24 hours in layover, Ive been here a week now. I would have split but this has always been a decent area. I just sent a message to FECC asking if they were still in business.

    No freight!!!

    I find it interesting that most of the people I know who oppose the standard Democrat Robin Hood tax schemes, don't make enough money to be effected by the changes. Myself included. This seems to indicate that we have honest principles in play here. When I hear support for Obama it is always...

    Is the "Crisis" Affecting You?

    Had congress not dolled out the money. Many of us would be out of work today. Especially those who work for smaller firms with less access to capital. What is happening in the financial markets right now is not unprecedented. It has happened several times in the history of the US and it has...

    Is the "Crisis" Affecting You?

    The crisis is affecting us, we have a surface unit, and times are tough for us. For the period from Jun 1 to Oct 1, we had run 23 less trips this year over last.

    The Current Crisis

    not all comppanies factor invoices just a significant portion of them. Yes for well capitalised the disatster might be a winfall. However if short term commercial paper dries up. Shippers won't be able to sell invoices either which means there won't be any frieght to begin with. Most...

    Why do companies require drivers to have new vehcles?

    Companies require NEW trucks because 99% of the time new trucks come with NEW truck PAYMENTS!!! Payments keep drivers IN SERVICE, desperate for frieght. As for break downs, most of the horror stories I hear happen to NEW trucks.

    90k a year as a solo sounds like bullcrap. My wife and I don't do that as a team and we work our buts off. If you live east of the Miss. River youd be alright as a solo. but closer to 50k a year I'd bet. We have a D unit
