Phil Can you share with the readers on what percentage of loads at FedEx was T-val loads. Some carriers only want to pay extra for trucks that are T-val trucks, which I disagree. T-val is a great thing, but there is other freight that is reefer. With all the extra cost is T-val worth the cost...

Layoutshooter I have never been deer hunting but have wanted too. I was on the rifle team in high school and I'm a great shot as my VP of Operations and sons found out. We was shooting a 45 hand gun out back on my land and they was shocked how good a shot I am. I told them I was a better shot...

Jim John and Shelly are great people. They are our agents on our building insurance and have helped us many times with truck questions.

Electronic logging is great and is done by the minute which saves time IMO. All carriers will have to go paperless logs by January 2013 or 2014 as I don't remember, but it's coming. Most QC already are plugged into the motor of the truck and tells everything the trucks does, the speed, mileage...

Thanks for the copy and paste as they charge for their news. Good Post

I would agree. The only thing about reefer units is some carriers that are on flat rates make overlook the reefer because their rate per mile is higher. We are trying something with our carrier now to help the truck get offered more loads. It's working out better for us and our carrier on this...

I agree Jack. I didn't take that cooper wrote this. It was the message behind the story. Like I said before. " if people had the love in their hearts like this little boy did, the world would be a better place to live". If the story is true or not, who cares. The meaning and the thoughts are...

Welcome to Expediters Online Jon. you will find some great posts from Davekc, Turtle, Phil Madsen (Ateam) Cheri, Dreamer, and many more. Have fun as I know you will like it.

Oh, I'm sure Jon has. I will leave it at that lol. If he wants to tell you, I'm sure he will tell you about his first ticket.

I will, as we have grown our fleet since coming to Panther and will be adding more trucks within the next few weeks. Panther has been GREAT for us and they want you to be successful. Some may say other wise. Last year we made what it would have taken us two years to do at our old carrier. As...

I hope you have your slush busters on your new truck.

I guess I should clarify what I meant about getting dispatched by a computer. FedEx Custom Critical had a system where a computer would call you to offer you a load, not a person. The computer would send the load to three different contractors at the same time. They said the reason for it was to...

Jon, your doing fine, just remember no driving on Parkways.

Yes it does. Bad weather is great for Expediting.

I understand what your saying Phil. I didn't think you and Diane had blinders on. Sorry if you thought that. I really had the blinders on for many years. I wouldn't say that you didn't help build that company to what once was. During yours and Diane time there because you helped play apart of...

Hawk I was being nice. I'm sure you know how I feel. You have seen some of my long crazy posts in regards to FedEx. I will leave it at that.

I'm right there with you Phil, but as Hawk said it will eat you alive as it did me after they said I couldn't drive for six months. So we pulled all the trucks, and the drivers all wanted to leave anyway. It was the best thing they ever did for us as we have grown to what will be 14 trucks the...

Hawk I was one of the biggest Cheerleaders for FedEx Custom Critical for many years. I will admit I had blinders on. I THOUGHT FedEx Custom Critical cared about the success of it's contractors and drivers, which they don't. Things was great at FedEx Custom Critical until they rolled out the...

Thanks for the post Phil. I hope your not out there is the mess in AZ.
