Very Nice,Words and Thoughts and Deeds that we should all try to live by.

Carole,need a little more info,what type of unit do you plan to drive,also what part of the country do you live in?. Running as a team in a D or C unit can usually provide you with at least $700 a week before taxes. These days most owners seem to go with a 60/40 split,you get the 60% but buy...

I can!t speak for Panther but as of right now FDX CC is not putting on vans. By March things might change. most expediting is hit or miss as far as runs go.You can travel the same route 2-3 times in a row and then never see that route for 3 months. Thing to do is to go to a large truck stop such...

If you can remember at one time there was only three. Roberts Express,Tri State and Eagle were the ones to see. Eagle soon failed,Roberts changed names But good old Tri State stayed the same. Now we have LEA,Conway and Panther Two plus many others just to name a few. Who is the best,no one...

" ARE WE THERE YET" " Never late in the 48" I must also take the 5th on the new moderator.

RE: Posts Those famous words"Need your help on this one" sure puts up a red flag and you know the offer is a mess and a zillion other trucks refused it. I guess your sensitive about the new truck issue,don!t blame you,we are holding out ,our D has 708,000 on it and since it is a 96 we are on...

RE: Posts Yes I have thought of that. However now that we can check power anywhere using the VRU,on the Rockford run, I checked out Rockford (0),Bedford Park (1), Milwaukee (2), called back to tony Kluka and asked her"How come you said I was the only one available".She said they had all refused...

RE: Posts Busy Busy times are here again,We left home on Aug 26th and ran like crazy for the last 2 weeks.All over the Country,unloaded today in Jacksonville NC and came home to Jacksonville FL for some badly needed rest. On Monday night in St Louis I turned down 5 run offers in 2 hours as they...

Mark I may take a look at that truck,is it a manual 10 speed and do you know how much warranty is left??

RE: Is Your Trade In Really Gone/Really Despicabl Same thing happened to me back in 1996 with a very large Freightliner dealer in Florida.I only owed about a $1000 or so but I had to make several calls to clear that up. Funny how once you drive away they no longer know you. I paid my present...

I don!t know what the norm is but I have been operating as a S Corporation for the past 12 years. With a S Corp there is no double taxation. The profit or loss of the S corp is passed on to the shareholders and is included in their personal taxes. It cost me about $200 to set it up.We issued 100...

RE: Why did Fed-up close its terminal on Rt.76 in If you are talking about the old building on I 77, FDX CC moved into a brand new huge facility in Green Ohio,about 8 miles south. This move took place back in the spring.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune, you sure seem to be taking it well.Can you tell us what area of Chicago your trucks were stolen from, this way we can all avoid that area.Good luck.

Tony Very well said.For what its worth I echo your comments 100 %.

Bill why not give FDX CC a call and tell contractor relations the story. I believe they keep a list of all qualifed drivers that they can possibly match up with an owner. Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Good luck..

Hate to tell you but you are probaly on the wrong web site for this information.Most of the users on this site drive 1 ton vans or six wheeler straight trucks.Based on what little info I know about big trucks I think you would probably get about 5 mpg with a full load,500k vs 100k shouldn!t make...

Based on GEO!S recommendation I attempted to check them out here in Jacksonville and Orlando. I did the e Mail application plus made some calls,had zero response.

We spent the night in the dark (big time ) at the motels. Fortunately the Detroiter had a large generator and had food availbale but no water.They closed the rest rooms which made for some anxious moments.I was scheduled to fly out of Detroit on Friday morning.that did not happen,and I wound up...

I echo Tony!s comments. It was a great show and I enjoyed meeting Tony and renewing acquaintances with Lawrence,Debby and Jeff. Other then trying to fly out of Detroit on friday (LOL) i had a good time. I want to add special thanks to my good friends Terry and Rene OConnell for chauffering me...
