We are in a DR and have always run weekend loads. On any given year we run 20 to 25% of the time thru the weekend. We have just run our 5th straight weekend load. Shortest was 1500 miles all at a very good rate. I like being pre-dispatched but on a Friday I know will be dispatched Monday so...

No. I would need to be desperate to get out of an area or to drop in an area (like home) to tie the truck up for that long of a period for $500/day. mmmmmmm, come to think of it I am pretty desperate. Now, one thing the Mrs mentioned. If we laid over at a CASINO........WELL, thats a horse of...

Thanx and I agree with your idea.:) Care to share?

And shave your head before you go to the lab:D

I understand all your points. :)My settlement is 100k+ your generalizations are close but not exact. We have paid the owner between 85k and 98k which if we owned the truck after expenses I would think another 20k to 30k settlement would be realized. BUT, you completely missed the point.:eek: I...

I am well aware that many do as much and more than we do.:) What I was attempting do establish for those inquiring about expediting is that if you are diligent, a hard worker, and can budget both time and money, you will have a very good chance of being successful in expediting even in...

Dont take this wrong, but none of you on EO are a motivating factor in our trying to be successful.:cool: Only our needs can urge us to do what has to be done to take care of our own. There is plenty of insight along with a whole bunch of comic relief on this site. As with all opinionated...

One can only hope.:D Being in a DR at this time has its advantage. If it changes I may call you for a job.:eek:

:eek: Wow I wish it was to me. Thanx.:D That is gross to the truck. To help clarify better, we are on a 62/38 split where we pay fuel, tolls, fuel tax, dis.ins. and pre-pass. Compared to a 40/60, we average 3.5% more in settlement. I figure the difference on every load to make sure the...

Ahhhhaaaaahhhaaaaa resistance is futile.:D Okay, got it out of my system. Me ( along with my wife Linda ) drive for Fedex CC. Going on our fifth year now. Currently we drive a DR unit. No hype here, no pompoms, I am not a company type guy. I watch out for mine and that will more than...

Sitting at TA in Albuquerque. Pick up around 1300 to go to Salt Lake City. Then Friday pu in Salt Lake and head to the East coast, 2300 miles.

We have been with FCC for over four years. When initially looking at expediting as a possible career choice we where given a spreadsheet showing what C, D, CR and DR units averaged company wide. They looked pretty good to us so we took a chance on expediting. By the way, Fedex was chosen because...

"Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned,":D

Sitting in Allentown PA. But we will be gone tomorrow. We pick up 30 miles from here and head off to Seattle WA to drop on Monday. If you miss me here on the east coast, dont be sad, I am booked to pick up Tuesday in Spokane WA and come right back here dropping next Friday:D

In Louisville right now, we drop Wed am, have a p/u in Louisville to South Jersey that drops Thurs and then p/u Friday and head to Seattle to drop Monday...........whew:eek: CHAAAAACHING:D

That would be a weak quarter.:eek:

Gee, another Gregg vs Ateam post. Just another petty moment on EO.:cool:

The TSA will let you know when you can take your Hazmat Test, AFTER finger printing and a background check. Here is a check list to get the endorsement: 1 Check your citizenship eligibility. Hazmat license certifications are only given to natural and naturalized American citizens. In order...

We got here around 5pm.:eek: I thought I felt a disturbance in the force:D If you are still around my truck will be getting an oil change around 8am. Coffee is on me.

Last week Memphis, this weekend NASHVILLE. YEEHAW. The TA is really nice. They have pictures of their flooding, trucks in the lot were swimming in water up to their doors. Very nice job remodeling.:D
