    Earl FedexCC has classes about 2-3 times a year,however running solo will generally excuse you from explosive loads as usually the US Government wants teams in case something happens to you and you are incapacitated. Radioactive shipments can be handeled by solo drivers, best to have a long...

    WHAT IS UP WITH FEDEX CC

    I have to disagree with my colleagues about operating as a solo E unit. I have known and met many solo E units that were doing quite well. Location is the all important thing.

    falling out of bed

    My better half always used the safety belt when she was sleeping in the bunk when we were moving. I could not handle the restriction as I toss and turn a lot plus I would always wake up whenever she would slow down.

    To Fleet Owners

    I would hold off adding trucks for a while. You could easily be making 2 payments with both trucks down.The drivers of your second truck could quit for whatever reason then you have to scramble to replace them. Meanwhile while you are at home lining up replacements both payments go on.
