Phil, Do you know how many reefer straight trucks there are in the fleet? How many reefer E trucks and how many are company owned reefer trailers? It would be interesting to know the percentage of flat rate vs. percentage rate of reefer trucks. I'm sure there are several hundred C,D and E's...

You can sit at the T/A in Denton, TX and watch the new Peterbilts roll through all day long. One of the delivery drivers told me they can't find enough drivers and they are backing up in the yard at the factory near there.

Nice bike. I had the Vance and Hines ovals on mine and it sounded great. Don't forget to get some Hot Toppers to cover up all of those allen head bolts.

So far we've done 60 runs this year. 15 were over 1000 miles and 2 were over 2000. Our average rate for all miles is only up $.06 over last year. Which means with fuel costs we are making less per mile. Our run count over last years is down by 5 but our miles are up by 6000.

Our new motto: "Don't Mess With Texas"

Got loaded from TN to VA on Thursday night. Pre dispatched for a load from NC to NJ on Saturday and pre dispatched on a load from NJ to DE on Monday. Once we crossed the Mississippi we started moving again.

In Florida you will pay the sales tax when you get your tag and title.

Good Luck :cool:

We finally got out of Dallas last night with a run to Arkansas. Now we are in Memphis. (T/A in Earle, AR) We are on >75 again and still not moving east. Maybe tomorrow will be the day.:(

What's up with Dallas? We delivered here on Thursday night expecting to get a load out on Friday. We accepted a lot of the opps but other trucks with more dwell time got them. Nothing on Sat or Sun. But we figured that since we were at the top of the dwell time list we would surely get...

I like that our pay is always correct and on time. I like that we get paid something for every mile that we are dispatched. I like that we can decline any load without it counting against us. I like that we can go out of service anytime we want. I dislike "Load Opportunities" that go out...

For more information on this program contact any FedEx CC recruiter or contractor relations. (That's where I got this info) Preferential treatment was not discussed.

I became curious about the flat rate program for straight trucks and wanted to find out more about it. Here is the info I was given: "The flat rate pay plan that’s available for straight-trucks is simply an alternative pay plan. The trucks still run OTR, they’re not regional, or they’re...

Phil, $1.59 per mile is higher than our trucks average (all miles) in surface expedite. We would have declined because of the delivery location but would have accepted if it were east of the Mississippi.

Great fuel mileage for those runs, especially on a new motor. Our 06' MBE 4000 gets 10-11 on the highway and 9.3 overall. We have no generator. Putting the ultra shift into manual works great for climbing a long uphill or to prevent shifting while crossing railroad tracks while on a Hazmat...

How did the new truck handle the mountains?

Happy birthday Moose.:) We are at the T/A in Denton, TX.

Sounds like fun. How's the scuba diving there?

The general split on 60/40 is whoever buys the fuel gets 100% of the FSC and 60% of the pay. Extras like hand loading, lift gate work etc., should go to the driver. IMO

Last night, between the toll booth and tunnel on I95 south in Baltimore we were pulled over for a Level 1 roadside DOT inspection. (We passed of course):cool: When the officer asked for our log books I told him that we were using electronic logs. He smiled and said, "Great". He made no attempt...
