I agree it is ultimately the "driver's responsibility" but why would our carrier even send us an offer when we are not legal, and if we turn it down is it a refusal? Are we burdened to check routing then to confer with all state and federal regs each time we are given an offer? All in the 10...

Apparently NYC has for some time had restrictions on straight trucks limiting length to 35', width 8' and height of 13'6". If your straight truck exceeds any of these demensions, you must obtain a special "Daily Overdimensional permit for NON-DIVISIBLE LOADS" to operate within the city limits...

We were charged $5 for the dump and they will not allow fuel credits for RV dump like showers. I too will take mine to the bathroom for dumping. Seems like the "J" is doing everything they can to hurt their business.

Some of the problems are created by FEDEX (employees)themselves. We have been outright lied to (proven and admitted on a follow up) and been given some hard but honest answers on others. I prefer the hard honest answers. However there are many ligitimate reasons the "other" truck/van etc. got...

Are you sure it is a sign on bonus and not a retention bonus? You know FDCC culls its fleet of the bottom performers every year about this time. Perhaps they are going to pay a retention bonus to keep their top performers kinda like the military's re-enlistment bonus. Nothing like the 4star for...

You have finally earned my respect (not that you needed it from me) I can now see past the shorts..."It's a business...period."

And they come with their own serving bowl!

I think its like any other company that size. Experiences differ. We had one couple that had issues with them over maintenance of the truck, primarily tires less than 2/32. They left to drive for another owner and are doing fine. Another friend had nothing but great experience. When they lost...

According to FMSCA; "Personal Use of a Commercial Motor Vehicle It is possible that occasionally you may not use a truck in commerce at all. You may be moving your personal belongings to a new house or, as a hobby you may be taking your horses to a horse show. As long as the activity is not in...

Not quite enough information to determine: Visibility conditions, night yes but fog? Curve, hill or other obstructions, cleaniness of widshield? Was speed appropriate for conditions? Was equipment appropriate? Tires; proper inflation, tread 4/32+ (front) any cupping? Steering...

Not at all! As one fleet owner advertises on their website (and they are a small fleet) ""Our trucks are always clean and in top mechanical condition. As we continue to add trucks to our fleet we feel confident that FedEx will continue to give us [ "us" as opposed to who? The other hard...

I have been using the QC for depatures for 3 years now...If I am on hold too long, I hit [create Message] 00, then type in my departure using the format in the "Contractors Helper Guide." This has also been helpful in "No Cell" areas. I have gotten a message back only one time when I failed to...

Also when these "hotels" arrive at the customer. I was present when one customer looking up at the arriving "hotel" said, "Holy **** how much am I paying for that!" It does present the "Look how much I am making off of you" image and has certainly hurt this business. Also your post in its...

This government website gives you the stats on weather related accidents...I thought they were amazingly high given that many people won't drive in bad weather...I wonder if you removed the mindless machos from these figures would the fatality rate be less then 1%? I think so...Forest Gump's...

Well said. I have called dispatch telling them I was shutting down because of other vehicles were spinning out. Then I just happen to be on the phone with safety on another matter when dispatch called...instead of putting safety on hold, I conferenced the call (unknown to dispatch) and as...

I respect those who make the decision to 'just say no' when it comes to incliment weather. Having lived in Newfoundland, doing the 'survivor man' routine for real, having to be rescued from -27f because I was driving a Hino and having to rescue others when I was a paramedic. I evaluate it this...
