I somewhat agree but the problem is with FedEx. See if they can't cover the load because it is something they do and it is their problem, not the truck/owner's/driver(s) problem. They created the load offer, not the driver, so they have to deal with it without calling everyone up to get...

Destruction of what? American virtues? Oh come on. Maybe there is some truth in this because the mind is a weird place and not all doctors can get it right the first time and it sometimes takes a lot of time. BUT I can't blame the medical profession outside of lowering the bar to include a...

SO it is puzzling how a speeding ticket appears within the database?

Does it happen? You bet. It may not happen to anyone here, but it surely does. Should it happen? Hell no. It is not a good business practice nor shows much in the way of serious lack of professionalism from the company to sidestep a decision maker. The problem I see is that if they have...

UPS seasonal packaging sorting and FedEx freight are two completely different systems. It isn't that simple nor should it be something swept under the rug. FedEx screwed up, they do that often but in this case there is a seriousness to it and a lot of the Freight and Ground places I been to...

Dave, You know there are exceptions to all the rules there.

Actually I think it is a lot to do about much. With this knee-jerk reactionary government, the DHS should launch a full investigation finding out which subversive group may have planned using these, even if they were low level radiation rod. Congress should investigate FedEx, have Fred Smith...

Cheap ******* sent them by FedEx freight from what I was told. They didn't insist on Supply Chain or CC to be used, but gave the customer the cheapest rate and stuck it on a freight trailer.

Not defending them but how many of you drover for an owner who didn't like all-types? This really matters because the owner you are driving for is obligated to pay you, not the company. A lot of people think because the company doesn't pay, the owner should be forgiven and blame the company.

Charles, I am just wondering, do you pay deadhead or relocation miles?

YES, go to the dealer, tell them you want to set the cruise control system to also function as the PTO speed control, have them turn off the idle timer and pay the $150.

I happen to have all three mentioned and a Kindle DX sitting here on loan to me. I like the Kindle DX but also the b&w Nook. The DX is larger, it is rather better suited for me and it does work well with both length of running time and usability, which is the same with the Nook. This one...

Well Cheri there is a problem with other things; using my pallet jack, they didn't pay for that but a few carriers will take a percentage of the money charged to the customer. using my reefer, they didn't pay for that but a few carriers take a percentage of the money charged to the customer...

And that warning is now part of your CSA 2010 score?

The other thing is when we talk about the profit centers within the carrier, qualcomm comes up as the example but I think with a company like FedEx and their flat rate FSC system, they got to be racking up a lot of money.

I bet that was the same officer who nailed me for the out of adjusted brakes which were not really out of adjustment.

I think there is another factor involved, the physiology of the FSC. It is like people are sold on the idea it is needed for every run. I've run into van drivers who at a $1.15 a mile expect it to be there.

Rlent, Your explanation can be also in affect explain our role in Vietnam pre-vietnam war. We allowed the French, who's government surrendered and was non-existent until 1946, to be treated as an equal. At the end of the war we handed back Vietnam because of the French need to have their...

What makes it interesting is the media hype about the people, it is big money here in the states to report on people who are actually not that important - like the hollywood royalty.

So Frank I asked a question to my accountant a while ago about this and I will ask the same question to you for others to understand. If I as an owner do not pay for fuel but I pay for Maintenance Repairs Tires Licensing Vehicle insurance cost So would the IRS allow the use of the...
