    "Help the North American Economy, Quit buying CRAP from China!" Is that possible? It might be replaced by Vietnam since labor costs are cheaper there. Ever see the daily Air Expedite Loads coming in daily from Mexico to the U.S. Big loads-5k-15k lbs loads online? Atleast Fedex gets a...

    The FedEx Driver Council

    The Driver council from what I understand was a concept of a former company president. Its just a test market for management to communicate with like mentioned before, with a sample of contractors, and a sample voice of contractors to express their concerns. Council members are not their to...

    Less than 500 lbs. non discounted customers I beleive, don't pay A rates anymore if I remember a mailing I got a long time ago. I don't beleive the dimensions for <500 don't matter as long as iit would fit in a B unit. The few A units that were around a long tome ago were pick up trucks and...

    Cargo Van Cafe'

    your quote: "I'm looking forward to a bit of a pickup, right now I'm just writing it off as the winter/economy slow down." Some of the busiest months I had in the past have been in January, so, just my opinion, its more than just a winter season slowdown. Also I see more of our runs...

    Cargo Van Cafe'

    I've run White Glove loads which come about when a White Glove truck isn't available that doesn't require a reefer or dual drivers. They come up once in a blue moon. Example- 1 ctn carton 10 lbs going to a nuclear plant, non radioactive. There's White glove loads we can handle but we're...

    Cargo Van Cafe'

    After 2 years running a B unit I decided not to move up to a C unit since the rates for all units didn't keep up with fixed costs. Plus I would see D units that used to have Roberts/Fedex signs on them that obviously weren't making it, so I stuck with a B unit. If management would quit...

    Cargo Van Cafe'

    I thought I'd start a thread for B units here since we have a different experiance than the large trucks. Are you starving out here like I am? I've posted instructions on how to see all the Customs Critical loads online without any log in requirements at fedex.com I've been doing this for 2...

    There's a new type of B unit now

    "AIRTABS that I learned about from you" I have no idea what your talking about. Glad to see that type of B unit is profitable. Perhaps FedexCC will grant equal access to running that type of unit in the future if they decide to add more to the fleet.

    There's a new type of B unit now

    Is it very profitable to run this type of unit? If it is hopefully it will be offered to B units who aren't currently in White Glove. B units are barely able to make a living now if at all...

    See all the Custom Critical loads on the internet

    I discovered this 2 years ago. I went to fedex.com and put in 1 of my run numbers. Then for the heck of it I got rid of the last digit (not counting the .1, .2 etc. After a few digit increases I came across the next run. The busier we are the less digits it takes to see the next run. Slack...
