    new guy heading out on wednesday

    Wow. I read this and felt so guilty for that load we picked up two weeks ago and I forgot (aka "failed") to clean up after the last load. I was embarrassed. Thanks layout for reminding me of the importance of having a nice appearance in every possible way imaginable. With that in mind, I might...

    FedEx Custom Critical goes Red

    Frankly the color change is welcome news for myself. I go back and forth with the color but I've always felt the blue was not a good fit unless we were parked in a FedEx Office location. Then it felt like we were delivering for Kinkos. It's also still somewhat annoying to pull into a heavy...

    FedEx Custom Critical goes Red

    We purchased a truck that already had signage and they would not pay the 1/2 percent. We were told that program was no longer in effect. It would be interesting to know if owner/operators continue to enjoy that bonus. We're thinking of opting out of the signs all together. Are they mandatory? I...

    Speeding ticket

    1) Get an OOIDA membership 2) Get an attorney referral from OOIDA No guarantees but an attorney might be able to get the violation dropped, which is like not even having it to begin with. This could cost you in the short run but in the long run, it may be worth it.

    Security Tape

    Anything added to a load that creates extra work for the owner operator or contractor needs to be included in the cost. As far as the door alarm, I think that feature only works for TVAL loads but why it couldn't it be set up to function under all situations sounds like an networking...

    settlements

    Anyone know of a way to get settlement summaries from Fedex in a format other than pdf via the extranet? Excel format would be nice, along with an option for a specific time period. It would help streamline our accounting process. Already tried a phone call with little help.

    Seattle,Wa. and Portland,Or.

    We are from the Portland area and we drive for FedexCC. We are in a C unit with Tval, hazard, and a couple other tags. Getting home every 3 to 4 weeks is pretty optimistic. We asked the same questions you're asking when we first started (1.5 years ago) and decided we needed to plan on being away...

    Clutch / Tranny / Noise

    (Posting in general for more exposure) We have a 2006 Freightliner Columbia with the Mercedes MBE 4000 and Eaton Ultra Shift transmission. 450,000 miles on it. Replaced clutch last week and last night we heard a strange noise that is difficult to describe but will try: It's almost as if...

    Ultra Shift Problem

    We just experienced the same issue with the same model described above only our mileage was around 450,XXX. Replaced most of the above and had the fly wheel turned. Total was around $3,700 in Lancaster, PA (Freightliner). On a side, the hourly rate in Lancaster is $120. If you're ever in the...

    What is TA thinking?

    We noticed the shower upgrades about three months ago in Georgia but did not realize they would make it a standard quality issue at all locations. Check out their press page for more details. And it's not just two towels, it's two towels and a floor towel. We tended to fuel at TA anyway...

    Wireless Internet

    We use a 5g air card and between the two of us playing an online game we have yet to break 4.5 gig in a 30 day period. Occasionally we can park close enough to Starbucks or even walk in one, which helps reduce air card usage but maybe by 10% total. The deal between Starbucks and Att is that...

    Placard Holders

    Thanks Greg, that was right on the money. We hooked up with Wabash trailer sales and they had what we needed and got it attached to the front of our truck. (We were okay on the other three sides).

    Placard Holders

    We're heading to the Nashville area and we need to grab some placard holders. Anyone have any clues as to who might carry them?

    TA Phone Kiosks

    Greg, We had issues shipping to Fed Ex Kinkos in Johnson City, TN. They could not figure out why the box was shipped to them, opened it up, saw it was uniforms, and shipped it back to the uniform shipper. They didn't really even offer an apology - just an explanation and the facts! lol We...
