Enjoying Miami FL. Will be heading to Thailand to take care of some business there. I heard freight is better and pays more along the Cambodia border as long as you don't mind getting shot at every now & then. Hmm sounds just like El Passo or NYC or Chicago.

Albertsville Al. Delivered to a chicken plant last night then drove far enough away so we couldn't smell it! I hate chicken plants as much as the smell from cattle farms.

Middleton Airport, Evergreen Al. Used to go camping here when I was in high school...nothing has changed here, it's the same old friendly country airport that it was in the 70s.

Pilot @ I35w in Fort Worth Tx. Will be enjoying Wild Boar and Ostrich for lunch at Cabella's across the street if we don't get dispatched. Fun place to hang out if you like outdoor stuff.

Ashland Va TA X92 after am del will be visiting with friends on a run south if we don't get dispatched before they arrive.

Was en route to the show From Greensboro Nc when we got a nice run to Orlando (enough to DH out). Delivered this morning and sitting at the Turkey Lake TP northbound. Heading to ATL after resting awhile.

Allentown Pa Walmart. Got here after a day in Albany NY with no luck. Will be at Expo unless big $ run takes me away.

I bought a Columbia FL with a CAT C-11 and 10 spd ultra shift. I get 10.2 to 10.6 Turning 1100 rpm at 57, 1350 at 68. After putting on ECOFLAPS, I noticed the truck doesn't downshift as often on some of the regular routes. Mountains are never a problem, as is severe cold. With 214,000 miles I...

At the TA east of St Louis...been here since friday. Accepted 3 good offers but too far down on the DVA. Then got a couple of low offers, one a "B" load for .54 cpm then a "C" load for .68 cpm...can't do that in a class 8 truck. Sometimes I wonder if dispatch is aware of the operating cost of...

Odd they hung the sign on (what appears) a waste container enclosure. Perhaps the close proximity was intended. Would an explosives placard be required while the proceedure is being done?

Some fleet owners use their association with FEDEX to take advantage of drivers.... We got ripped-off from our first experience and although FEDEX was appologetic, other than putting us with another owner, there wasn't anything they can do. On that note I have to say that Debbie T. at Fedex was...

Delivered in Toledo last night, checked in Toledo while at Fedex Freight, Toledo and the system put us in Sandusky....oh well, too tired to call and deal with it so we are at the Petro- I-280 with a lake (retention pond) for our backyard.

ETA lock as I was told by CC & dispatch is used to "HOLD" a commitment time for a truck to a shipper to cover a load without actually dispatching a truck. (much like other locks). While I was discussing removing one of these locks with dispatch, the dispatcher seemed amazed that I wouldn't want...

Actually it is best to do the "VRU" [2] [2] because although most other locks show up with the (09), the "ETA" lock wont...and we have found dispatch using the "ETA" lock with increasing frequency. We have found we were on "ETA" locks for loads already dispatched to another vehicle and for loads...

No need to preface your questions and comments with an apology about "no disrespect intended." We are still with FEDEX and we also have other business interest that spans two continents. The hiring of others was after an attempt to secure dedicated contracts in specialized areas which FEDEX was...

We aren't white glove either but our requiter asked us if we were as a side. I told him we were looking that direction but since, I have talked to three KWs with the same engine. All said on flat land they notice no real difference except when going on highway from a ramp it gets a little scary...
