    FedEx DVA system is a great tool

    JJ, I think we all would like a little more flexability in the dispatch system but it clearly states in the Contractors Helper Guide 5.19; "Be ready to go when you accept a load (15 minutes)" So when we signed on we agreed to abide by their terms as per contract. My wife and I are always ready...

    Need Florida O/O advice on Getting IRP Tag

    You can get your Tags the same day. For first time registrants, you will need to pay by cash or certified funds. They don't accept debit or credit cards. The taxes will have to be paid. The exemption you mentioned was for the state you purchased it. Florida will charge you for the sale. On the...

    What's with Fed Ex Cust. Crit?

    Speaking as a "little folk"; I call FEDEX CC ,they return my call. I ask them to send something, they send it. I ask a question, they answer. If I don't understand, they explain. I went from a driver to an O/O. It hasn't all been "honeymoon" but nothing is. My wife and I have exceeded our goals...

    Unreasonable demands?

If circumstances become such that I am not allowed to leave and they deem it prudent to open the box with or without damage, then yes, I would be upset...at myself for doing...

    Unreasonable demands?

    It is my equipment, I own my own truck, If I missed the broken lock in a pre-trip inspection prior to going to a customer which I am aware might perform an extensive search (perhaps I arrive at an elevated threat level) at their facility, I would rather leave the facility, correct the situation...

    Unreasonable demands?

    Thats exactly what I am saying. Your post is "Unreasonable Demands" and with you and your wife's background, I wonder even more why you would think it was "unreasonable"...and you never mentioned about getting a lock smith to correct your problem in your first post. Big Red Flag! I would have...

    Plus when one of the locks on a box door was found to be broken (unknown to us) and the door latch would not release, BIG RED FLAG!! Having experienced extensive searches many times with South Com. and other locations and realizing they are privy to information we are not, I just go with the...
