    US Supreme Court allows anti-gay military funeral protests

    Pilgrim, read what I said; "... amazingly the Nazi leaders actually embraced Christianity to maintain the hate toward the Jews among some of the population" This means that they put on a great big charade in order to maintain their allegiance by those who were religious, specifically...

    Bad Companies

    OK here we goooooo............ DID you get a lawyer and have the lawyer contact the owner and the authorities? IF NOT then at least talk to a legal professional who can direct you to your next step. As for the owner's wife signing the check, lets just say it may have worked out to both...

    Truth In Advertising & Posting?

    Chef, thanks for acknowledging it. The problem I am seeing is that she is talking about a partner agreement - the hint was his own authority - and if so, 4 companies is nothing. AND if that's the case, the real issue is what do these companies actually do to stand by their agreed rates...

    Massive Quake hits Japan

    Ditto, I hope the best for all in Japan. BUT not to take away from their pain, the west coast seem to be in panic mood and as I am listening to the 'experts', they are suggesting that it is great surfing time.

    Truth In Advertising & Posting?

    I have to ask LisaLouHoo, are you talking about working with companies with a partner agreement or as a directly leased contractor? With that said, I do agree with Phil but it brings up a serious question - if someone wants to be successful, outside of getting it together, do they actually go...

    FedEx Custom Critical ???? Are they what they say they are??

    Lies and reviews are subjective. Just because they record their calls, they may use a standard on what can be said and what latitude the person has to say so the company can say they didn't lie. I think Phil's point is legitimate to a point, the point of what is good research is great but it...

    FedEx Custom Critical ???? Are they what they say they are??

    This is absolutely frikn' hilarious. Some of the comments seem to be just amazing and unreal. Actually Jansimoo, they, FedEx, have all the control of everything that they accept and goes on every truck that they present to the contractor. The contractor even when the thing is loaded, can...

    Recruiting spam

    Actually a lot of spam isn't sent directly to your mail box but rather to random groups of addresses and some of the servers dump copies in all the mail boxes. I also believe if you have a blog or website which you do not encrypt your address, it is scrapped or harvested off the site. The same...

    FedEx Custom Critical ???? Are they what they say they are??

    I don't think skills has a lot to do with it but rather how the company treats some individuals. Maybe some have gotten to see the good side of it while others haven't but nevertheless, some prosper and others fail may have a lot to do with nothing more than what they say in public and only that.

    Insanity! U.S. to Pay for EOBRs on Mexican Trucks

    I think the money is coming from the road taxes collected by the feds. BUT here we go with the assumptions - what proof will there be with the carnage on the roads? AND?? I don't see the difference in training, here or Mexico because we all have the same issue whether the driver is from...

    mexican trucks in america are a fact.

    Jim, and CL, 1 - economics has a lot to do with this, one part is that everyone wants cheap stuff = personal economics. When we talk about the country's economics, it is about jobs and business. The latter has to do with how the country, any country has economic ebb and flow with the import...

    FedEx Custom Critical ???? Are they what they say they are??

    If I had to submit drawings and/or sketches to the company to approve something that they neither pay for or own, I would expect a lot more than what I get from them. Have any of you actually read the FedEx standards and style manual to see what is actually allowed?

    A update

    Not really, you can take the test before the check comes back - it all depends on the person at the counter and what mood they are in.

    How was your February? This just in!

    Well after doing my financials for Feb, (yea I'm getting lazy,) I thought about my BEP and how it has stayed the same with the fuel prices so I wonder if anyone caught the Lockridge report yesterday when Evan and his guest explained how to figure Break Even Point on a load?

    FedEx Custom Critical ???? Are they what they say they are??

    Dale, supporting the company is one thing, droning in a defensive manner is another and the cause for my pom pom comments. FedEx is a good company but it is one that looks at two things that are important to them - 1 - a member of FedEx has to be a company person (big business syndrome) 2 -...

    FedEx Custom Critical ???? Are they what they say they are??

    Dispatch works as they want it to work. Seriously. So I hope this will answer a few things for you. The loads come from different sources, outside FedEx and inside FedEx. Some of it comes from their logistics division, some from Freight, some is Air freight where CC handles the pickup and...

    FedEx Custom Critical ???? Are they what they say they are??

    Hey Leo, I have been stuck more than once with a load that was 2k and turned out to be 9k. The dispatcher refused to increase the rate for those loads and many of the times I would have to fight for them to pay me because I used my pallet jack.

    cargo weight

    Hey Chef, I'm told by some DOT officers they will ignore the upfitters sticker and go with the manufacturers sticker and ticket you according to the OEM sticker. Having the wheel removed may cause you to be looked at, especially with those roving officers in Illinois and Michigan. The...
