Well I would but it would start people throwing a fit and getting purple streamers all over the place and I just cleaned the inside of my computer up. Beside I would also p*ss on a few people and get nasty letters. The point is that everyone's needs are different and you have to approach this...

Not really surprising. The issue for most in CC is to capture the high paying rates while those in ground seem to be targeting consistency - BIG difference. The two guys who I know on the FR program do like it, they are making money and can count on the consistent revenue. They, as I have been...

I have no rhythm so I would make a lousy drummer.

That makes sense. I know about ground, and the need to "cover" the route. I think CC would be a good fit, staying within the FedEx family. Yes you can take the truck out of service if you need to and there is a lot of flexibility compared to ground. You ever thought of Supply Chain? I got...

Linda, Its been a while but that does not mean I haven't given up talking to my contacts in Green or don't know what's happening in that world. Sorry to ruffle your feathers but I'm having a little fun, like with your tag line ... A negitive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it...

I don't know if the CDL thing has much to do with it, the carrier is on the hook for all of their fleet. Now the difference seems to be that it can be applied to the driver, regardless what they drive because they are part of the fleet if the carrier wants it to.

Well that depends on what the company policies are. It may even be in your contract, ever read it?

OK Linda, if you want to believe that, it's ok with me.:D not to ruffle your feathers, it is just fun poking at this subject.

So with all the millions he is making with his old sprinter, how many super duper dehydrators is he going to order? 2? You know they are going to be a limited edition dehydrator?

Nope two different things, you have to get a chafferer's license first than the CDL - stupid as it sounds it has been this way for a long time. By the way, the chafferer's license is 10 questions long and $18.

I think the CSA 2010 thing can be a company thing for vans. If they decide to apply it to vans, because of the driver, then vans are included.

True to a point. Not to be argumentative Dave but many seem to think that just because they are "transportation lawyers" they are qualified to handle contracts. There is a need to interview the lawyer, come to them with specific needs and ask questions about how those needs are going to be...

Before I get my hands slapped <<again>>, the truth is somewhere in between. I understand what you are getting at but don't you think there are things that go on at all companies? FedEx CC is no different than ground and other parts of the company, they want work to move and they do know who...

A class C CDL and a chafferer's license (seeing you are in Michigan). I would be careful and make sure you tell what ever company you plan on working for why the gap of employment. They are to cover 10 years back, and some use outside services to check people during the application process and...

OMG, Linda, there are favorites throughout the entire company. Ground is just like CC which is like Freight which is like Kinkos ... etc... bojomoko, are you looking to just make a lateral move into CC (I assume in another thread that you are a ground contractor) or are you looking for a...

Research, what a great thing. I can post my earnings here, but won't. I don't do a lot of miles, everything I'm doing is about 110% DH but it still works out that I'm making more than I would if I am sitting at a truck stop with a flock of vans and trucks waiting for a load. The average...

The mattress are usually twin size. If you want to spend the money on an apartment on wheels, do so after a few years of doing this so you get a grip on your business. IF you are going to do normal stuff, don't worry about the dog issue, many companies will allow you to work around it or not...

Don't take this wrong but this should be the first question you ask before you ever consider this work. IT is very important that you align the work to your goals and needs, not the goals and needs to the work. BUT as UD said, it all depends on what you are getting into. Vans can do good if...

it's an ok engine in an ok truck, I just wasn't impressed with the acceleration. The one I had for a couple days seem to get about 19.

Simple, don't take runs late in the day if you can't sleep in hotel style settings or become disciplined enough to put sleep and safety first. Many don't get the sleep thing, a lot think it is easy to nap but maybe their bodies don't nap well. Sometimes the 20 minute espresso nap will work one...
