I do, but I have never found a mistake yet. I have I-pass though.

...and if the customer pays for the tolls. They got me with this one time when I was in the north east. Never again. The same with hazmat, the same with canada. If the customer doesn't pay, I don't haul. If FedEx wants me to haul it because 'this is one of our best customers' then FedEx has to...

Are you guys talking about this Beemer or someone else?

I was tempted to fire mine up last night here in Jeffersonville, OH, but I refrained from it. Heater in August???????

Yep, but I omitted a little detail, my van is 140" WB, and to take 3 skids I have to get all the crap I have here into the front seat area. I did it once, not knowing any better, and the skid came all the way to the back of my seat. And with my luck, I showed up at delivery at around 10pm and...

Mine has been about the same. If a load is more than 2500lbs or more than 2 skids, that is a straight truck job. I will wait for a van load.

This is the flat rate we get paid, no more no less. However, nobody should make their decision on what carrier is best to go to based on rates alone. We get paid more per mile than other carriers, but we sit more, and in the end, we bring less money in.

$0.85/loaded mile plus Fuel Surcharge which right now is 9.7 cents/mile. Deadhead is 15 cents/mile after the first free 50 miles. Fuel surcharge is paid on all authorized miles, including deadhead.

This thing just doesn't look right to my eyes, maybe I just got used to my Sprinter.

Greg, I can haul 3200 lbs, I weighed it recently. It weighs empty 5350 lbs. However, I don't haul more than 2500 lbs. I don't have a sleeper built in, nor all the other niceties that other people have.

Just a heads up if somebody wants to do this. You absolutely need to make sure that the front wheels/tires are the same diameter with the rear ones. If you don't, the ECM notices that the front wheels are turning faster/slower than the rear wheels and throws codes, and...... Just a mess.

When I will see your truck, you can be sure that I will come to say hi. One day...

Leo, I went to FedEx Office and tried it. I showed my FedEx id and I got a huge discount (more than 50%) for one ground package to San Diego, CA. Maybe the guy did not look too good at my id, I don't know, but it was a win win situation for both FedEx and me. If they would have said no, I...

moose, you are killing me.

So, how did you end up solving this?

As FedEx contractors, do we get a discount for shipping ground packages? I usually send them USPS, but might try FedEx if the price is right.

Did you get anything out of Atlanta, or just deadheaded to Birmingham?

Maybe China crap inverter messing up the Mexico/Brazilian fridge? War of the continents?:D

China crap?

Disappointed with the decision.
