Re: FECC New DIspatch System The new system is about getting contractors to accept the lower rate loads. It is a smart plan put out there by FECC. I will still do business as usual, taking only those loads that I can make a decent profit on.

We have a Mercedes MBE 4000 series engine in my 2007 western Star, with a Eaton 10 speed Ultra Shift transmission. My wife and I both love the engine and tranny, we haven't had any problems with either of them, we have over 125,000 trouble free miles on the clock.

I believe both the Democratic and Republican parties are corrupt. They are run by Big Oil and Big Business. Neither party gives two hoots about the working man. The members of both the House and Senate are for sale to the highest bidder. This country, which I love dearly, is headed on a...

Huh? And I thought I was confused.

I don't have an uncle Bob.....but I am an uncle Bob.

Just wondering, why would you, being a non WG truck, be put on a WG lock? Could it be that maybe you are one of those rare non WG trucks that for all practical purposes are in WG, except for the official WG designation? I know you have all the WG equipment and a lift gate. Interesting thought...

Looked it up. Every part of the vehicle, from the front bumper to the rear ICC bumper is considerd part of the CMV, including the attached trailer.

I don't know about saying the sleeper is not part of the truck Leo. IMO, which might not count for much, if the sleeper could be disconnected from the truck, like a trailer, you might have a leg to stand on. But the sleeper can't be detached, so I would think that for all intent and purpose, the...

It is against the law to carry any kind of firearm in a commercial motor vehicle. I don't know where you got your information from, but you had better not get caught with a firearm in your CMV. Better look up the federal DOT regs.

Springfield Armory makes a nice 9mm. I like their XD models. One thing to remember is that if you have to unholster the weapon in a live or die situation, make sure you can pull the trigger with the intent of killing another human being. If you are not sure that you can do it, and many can't...

I was watching a news channel last night, and the broadcaster said that the price of crude oil dropped due to U.S. consumers buying less fuel at the pumps. He said the drop in consumers purchasing less fuel was a direct result of the increased fuel prices. He also said that the oil copmanies...

IMO this is a way FedEx CC hopes to get contractors to take the low paying freight they have been offering. I believe by offering the loads to multiple trucks the owner operators/drivers will think that if they don't take the load as soon as it is offered, another truck will jump on it, even...

Did you forget to add the link?

Spudhead911 Nuclear power plant loads do not require DOD clearance, but ALL loads that require DOD clearance are White Glove loads. ALL explosive loads are White Glove loads. And yes FedEx does play favorites, as you well know. I understand that some units coming into FedEx might already have...

Spudhead911 I was just wondering, the last time I talked to the people at FedEx I was told you have to be in White Glove to even apply to be DOD qualified. Because you have a dog in your truck you can't be in White Glove. How did you manage to bypass the White Glove requirement to get your DOD...
