    What doyou think Expediting will be like in 2010?

    In the beginning every load was an expedite load,hurry up pick up,straight thru delivery,with a pay that reflected the urgency.

    The FECC suggestion/complaint box

    If FDCC puts in directions,usually come from the center of the nearest express center.I find when the customer gives them to FDCC,unless agent asks the right questions,you get to many landmarks.

    The FECC suggestion/complaint box

    There are strict rules for the DOD loads,and there are plenty of non W/G trucks that are qualified.I was just taken off a DOD load as my co-driver isn't a citizen as yet and the naval base we were going to won't let him on base.There are military compounds that don't restrict but this one we...

    FedEx DVA system is a great tool

    JJ, yours is just one way to manipulate the system.If your the only truck in your home ex center,and your truck is the one used to give a customer a pick up time,you then turned the load down not cause of pay but do to being late on pick up,then FDCC has to find an alternative truck,and pick up...

    FedEx DVA system is a great tool

    My problem with the DVA has nothing to do with being ready for dispatch,in fact mondays when we are at home,since my co driver lives an hour away, he comes down to where we keep the truck,and we both sit waiting for dispatch. Being ready for dispatch means just that.Sure if you have a load that...
