RE: Whats the stupidest thing you have done this y This year at the ripe age of 55 I convinced my wife we should quit our jobs, leave home, live in a truck, in a new venture for us called...... EXPEDITING. Oh wait there is more. We are still doing it. Which is dumber? Seven months have...

We use a program called DDL, Drivers Daily Log. It has the FedexCC log in it ( along with other companies. ) We also print our logs daily, we keep one copy as backup for those who have a phobia about our using computer logs and one that we mail off to get paid. Why do both, it is easier for us...

Linda and I have met our goals for the year. As "newbies" in April, we wanted to make it to May. After some sleepless nights we decided to try and make it further. We ran hard and long. Availability over 85% and it would have been higher if not for required training at Fedex. We have gotten our...

Can someone educate me in the tolls associated with the use of tag axles. While coming back from Canada empty, Detriot-Winsdor, I was charged for three axles even though my tag was up. The tollie told me it was the number of axles she counted, not on the ground. I've checked the Bridge sites...

Wow, i hope this question was a joke. As most replies are treating it that way. Limiting a persons right to say what is on his mind in any topic is censorship, something I would be against 101%. I find it insulting to think my comments wouldnt be worthy of being in a blog if they didnt fit...

As i read this post I am realizing that there are many many different "pay" arrangements other than saying 40/60 or 60/40. Things like deadheading home, truck washes, and QC have been mentioned. Since I work for the 1st owner we started with my knowledge is limited. On our 60/40 plan my costs...

My first concert was at the Akron Rubber Bowl ( summer of 69 I think ) We went to see the Rolling Stones. What a great show they put on. The energy level needed to be placarded. Oh I almost foregot.......... the opening act was Stevie Wonder. That was my first time really hearing him and I...

Hi Charlotte. The numbers on the job example are always going to be true. Do we idle or use an apu, do we park in idleaire, do we run home after every third week or travel 100 miles to a favorite layover spot are all examples of daily costs. Everyone has them. While they impact the bottom line...

Hi everyone, I posted a similar response to another driver asking a like question, I think it is in the Newbies forum. 40/60 or 60/40. Imagine a $1000.00 offer total miles 532 with 180 of the miles deadhead, leaving 352 run miles. I am with Fedex so we get .20 FSC. deadhead miles: 180 x .20 =...

Planning, chance and Luck. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm If I'm in Vegas.............. Its got to be LUCK. On the road, I like to think of it as.....Timing. Dave D6847 FCC WG

On the 40/60 vs the 60/40 split. Linda and I opted to go 60/40 getting 100% fsc + tolls. After running numbers for six months now, our 60% actually factors out to 65% of the gross pay. since we are paying fuel we are more selective on the pump price. Bottom line we run aprox. 42.75% after fuel...

Hi All, I have a TomTom 910, no help with a truck, and have been searching for a portable GPS that is truck specific.....no luck yet. Just to help clarify what is available with a Garmin 330, this is from FAQ on their web page: Question: Does the mapping software in my unit have truck...

Hi to all, My wife Linda and I just got into expediting in April. I have been lurking in the shadows of the archives for the last few months reading. So far so good. We drive for Tim Hopkins. We are based out of Cleveland ohio ( Bedford actually ). Our truck is a 2007 Freightliner SST100. No...
