Those of you who are new with the company need to be aware to regularly check your status when you are sitting between loads. Here is our story and it is not the first time it has happened to us: We delivered an early morning load and decided to stay in the area. We noticed a TVAL lock on our...

Hey! Let's talk about scanners! Wonder if those of us who already have the little "Neat Receipt" scanners will be able to use them or will the company now require us to purchase yet another piece of equipment we already own. Any thoughts?

Anyone using the internet app on CLink? We were told it would only connect at a TA. It does connect but we were also told it would automatically log in and it will not. We have tried using our log in IDs and we have even tried leaving it blank but it will not log in. Have any of you used...

What has been your experience with Pronto Pay at TA? Since we usually try to fuel at TA (due to our discount) we are finding that the Pronto Pay seems to work about 8 out of 10 times. It saves sooooooo much time! When it works it means we can get in and out of a TA fuel stop in almost half...

You just have to check out this link and share your thoughts: Brown Bailout Note who is sponsoring the link! Interesting don't you think!!

I'd like for us to have a serious discussion about the safety department CLink messages. First of all, I have no problem with an urgent CLink msg if something is going on in the company - like the phones are not working or something. Here is how this works for us: We are on a run. I'm...

Anyone get one of those "D" Locks yet? Just curious about whether they are just locking the reefers or if others are getting locked also. We are on a load so we aren't locked yet but we are not in a reefer unit.

Anyone else having trouble getting paid lately? We are missing pay for four runs! Two of them will be on our Monday statement (we've been told) but the other two are "missing" and we have had to print the BOL and re-submit. In all these years we have never been late getting paid. This has...

Just a thought: If you don't go to the Intranet and check your stats very often, it would be a good idea to do so. It is strange how things can happen with stats when you have no idea and no notification. Twice recently we have found an error in our stats. The system indicated we were late...

Since we are now using the load opps we have found that a less than 75 (<75) is truly worthless. Sitting in an Express Center with a <75 and knowing the loads are offered to lots of Express Centers, means that the <75 doesn't mean anything. I would like for all dispatchers to be told that...

DHL has announced the closing of all air and ground service in the US. So, now who is going to pick up our trip paks? See, this is why I have been complaining about depending on another company to handle our paperwork. Just my two cents!

When responding to a load opp do you now see a Reason line if you decline the load? Very interesting. I don't think anyone has mentioned in any of our messages about this line being added. We just started seeing it, I think. Of course anyone with old age memory issues like me could have seen...

We are amazed at how great the macro 33 is working for us. It is such an easy way to respond and we get an almost instant reply indicating whether or not we are on a load. Looks like the kinks are worked out of this macro and it is working really fast.

I know we have some "lurkers" out there who don't post but read all the stuff. So if you have not yet added the feature to have your phone text you when you have an offer in the truck, now is the time to do so. It doesn't cost anything to have this feature. So, for instance, if you are...

We have our CC's back! Yahoo! The trial period is over and the CC's are back and they are not dispatcher/CCs. Large companies have to try different approaches to business when growth is fast and I'm glad FDCC is willing to try new things. But we are truly glad to have a CC again without the...

How are you doing with the Load Opps now that we have had this going for a while? Actually our experience has been really good with this type of dispatch. We recently were in an area where we had three load opps come across CLink at once. We looked at all three and plugged them in our...

If you are spending some time before a p/u in Romeoville, IL we finally found a great place to park while we are waiting for p/u. About 2 miles south of the p/u (on Webber) there is a Jewel Grocery store. There is a lot of parking and the store is amazing. They have the best selection of...

So how was the FedEx breakfast at MATS? Any new/interesting information given during the breakfast with executives? Was there a decent crowd there?

If you have a truck leased to FedEx and there is any possibility you will need tires this year NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY! Check out the Intranet at FedEx then go to discounts/tires. It is the most amazing deal we have seen in a long time. It is a one year program so you'll need to move on it if...
