Congrats Linder & Bob! You have been so willing to share your knowledge with others (including us) and we are thankful for your time and experience. I can't imagine being in this business without our mentors!!

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...

Well, I have two comments. I hate the way DHL delivers where we live. They will hold a package for as long as a week since we live "out in the country" and we can not get a package delivered by them in a timely manner. UPS AND FedEx manage to deliver packages daily to our area. I am one of...

We are stuck at a Petro in Laramie, WY today. I 80 is closed due to snow/ice and trucks are everywhere - parked and waiting. It is snowing so hard and the wind is incredible. We feel like we are in our own little igloo! Who would've thought? May 2nd! Must be Global Warming!!

How do you have your personal tools secured in the box of your truck? Do you have a hand cart, load bars, straps with metal clips, a pallet jack? We recently had an expert in ammunitions talk with us about how all these items should be secured in the box of the truck. As expediters...

Hey Coco, do you think you could take a single serve OJ and add the crystal light individual package of lemonade to it? Then just shake it up and have an individual cold drink. What do you think? I'm scared to try it...OJ is so expensive to waste. Ha!

I know I should already know the answer to this question but, believe me, some day we will all be forgetful! Now what was the question? Oh yes! My CDL is good (from the state of Florida, where we can't count) until 2011 however the medical card has to be renewed this year. Do I have to...

Good for you for following up on your instincts. Ultimately it is all on us. Did all that hassle make you late for your delivery?

Welcome back Lady! I'm so sorry for your loss. Good for you for getting back into the game! We have a son who is doing courier work and he is making great money. He is on call all the time but seems to do well. Often he gets a call to deliver a kidney (for instance) from a teaching...

I believe the plan is to eventually give us a line to type in a reason for refusing a load but they need to get that fixed ASAP, in my opinion. The idea of counter offering would make things move along. The system worked well for us and everything seemed to happen quickly but we were...

So, Linder, do you have curtains other than the darkening curtains in your sleeper? Can you get the sleeper dark enough to sleep when Bob is driving? I know we have seen your truck before but I don't remember noticing curtains. How about the rest of you? Do you use real curtains instead of...

I was just reading an article in a magazine about Spring cleaning and it made me take a look around the sleeper to see what sort of Spring cleaning needs to be done in our "home away from home." One of the suggestions in the article was to clean out the fridge/freezer and get rid of junk then...

There is no way I would sign this petition! I got angry just reading such a thing...didn't even finish it. No thanks! I won't stop for this! Won't read it all! WILL NOT pass it on!!!

If it isn't one thing, It's TWO!

Hey Moot, I'm asking???????? :-)

Okay now - you're scaring me! What do you mean??

So, Linder, can you reuse those earplugs you mentioned? After you mix the two parts is it a one time use thing? We have never used ear plugs because we always thought if we had an emergency we couldn't wake the other one up but I think we are ready to try something like this now.

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

Do you have an Uncle Bob? See, we are driving through Iowa and we keep seeing these billboards for "Your Uncle Bob's - a Pizza Cafe". So we started thinking, "Hmm, does everyone really have an Uncle Bob?" My husband and I BOTH have an Uncle Bob. How about you, do you have an Uncle Bob?

Shouldn't this be moved to the FedEx Forum???
