I was just wondering how FedEx CC would feel about hosting a forum on either the FedEx extranet or here on EO. It might be a good thing. FedEx could post questions that might help them develop new programs and get instant feedback from contractors. contractors could post questions to FedEx and...

I’ve gone over a few of your posts, especially this one in the quote. It seems to me that while some of your posts are very articulate, others sound like they were posted by someone who is not very good at spelling or sentence structure. Also while some posts go into details and facts, some seem...

You are 100% right. What we have is a contractor council picked by the carrier. I believe the reason the council even exists is to give us contractors a warm fuzzy feeling, meant to infer that fedEx is looking out for our interest. A council who can't even let the contractors know their...

I agree that all us O/O's are different and have unique goals and are in this business for a multitude of reasons. And yes we are all in it fot the money also. It would be pretty boring if we were all clones. Truck drivers just seem to agree to disagree, its kind of a way of life. I would...

If its a safety award why is it finally decided by number of runs taken, that to me isn't very saftey oriented, the more runs the more likely you will have an accident. If I wanted to run the northeast I could easily make the top 50 every year. I run all 48 beacuse that's the job.Why don't...

Just what does the contractor council do for the contractor? You sit around and talk about things you can’t discuss with us contractors, that don’t sound like a good thing for us contractors to me. You need to be “chosen” by the company “leadership team”, after they get to know you at special...

Everyone should know what it costs to run their thuck. what I meant is that some contractors I think just barely make enough to run their truck and sacrafice everything else to be one of the 50 contractors who get the big prize. I think the 4 star system is flawed and needs to be revamped...

I just picked up the first issue of Downtime. It's the new name of the trade magazine Through The Gears, available for free at most truck stops. Instead of all the usual truck topics, it has lots of puzzles in it, as well as articles on fishing, NASCAR, football, baseball, and other sports...

Makes perfect sense to me, especially the ......................part.

How about using a firing squad. A nice 45/70 in the old coconut will do the trick. and pretty much painless too.

Maybe he's playing round ball for the knicks

I would take Marylin Monroe over any of them...look up sexy in the dictionary and you will see her picture. She was one hot mama

It was just a matter of time. If not 9/11 then it would have been another date. The powers to be had the information that something big was in the air and waiting to happen. What did they do, they kept their heads burried in the sand. What gets me is we found Sadam hiding in a hole, but we...

Hey D Team...Is that your truck I saw in the classsifieds here on EO, maybe you shouldn't have bad mouthed the engine, might not be able to put a team in it..that is if it was your truck. If not, then sorry, but picture looks the same truck as your avatar, unless it is a different truck, which...

As far as stats go, we don't take loads just to improve our stats, like a lot of people who's main goal is to win the "free vacation" the four star winners get. We pick and choose our loads that bring in the best revenue for us. While doing this we are still able to post very good stats. I guess...

How about Marilyn Monroe and Jane Mansfield, two of the hottest women ever, and 100% natural endowments. Now Elviria...she turned my crank. let's not forget Lola Falana.....she was hot. If I'm right she exposed a very nice breast on the Johnny Carson show one night...by accident...back...

The new engines have been out over a year now, the bugs have been taken care of for the most part. When I bought my truck some people said I would regret using the MBE 4000 series engine, that they were nothing but trouble. I haven't had any problems with the engine to date. Mercedes has been...

just gotta love that Gorilla glue, holds just bout anything together.

I think the tech problem was the same with all the new EPA engines when they first came out. We were at a shop when a truck with a new Cummins engine came in. The techs just looked at each other, it was the first one any of them had seen, and none of them knew anything about the engine. all...

I think you mean you have the EPA 2004 MBE engines. The EPA 2007 Engines are the ones with the DPFs, they are really the 2008 model year engines, they came out in March of 2007. When we built our truck in Dec. of 2006, we found out that we couldn't get the 2004 EPA engine in it, there were...
