    EOBR - Calendar

    The time limits come from the company, which in the case of Panther, it may be something they agreed on with their insurance company. FedEx on the other hand may do that because what some contractors in other divisions have caused them and they use blanket policies. As a solo driver, I don't...

    Re: Sprinter and the backyard mechanic

    Piper, is the assyst system a bit different for the NA market than the EU market? I may be wrong but heard that it is functioning like the prior 2007 models.

    EOBR - Calendar

    Pelicn, This is a FedEx thing, they seem to be lost with the new EOBR thing. Like the driving the truck on line five thing, some don't understand why the policy limits them from using it for more than a quick run to the store. I think Linda/Bob's solution is far the best one I have heard of...

    What is the strangest load that you did as an expediter?

    A very small fastener with an escort to boot - didn't have to pay any tolls for the turnpike or bridges, didn't even stop for the toll booths. Worms for research.

    May 2010 locations

    Call up FedEx and ask for a paid move to somewhere east. I wouldn't say freight dried up, its there, just they don't look for it there.

    Insurance Companies purchase of Police Radar guns.

    So Turtle, I understand the study part, but it doesn't matter because it is stupid in some cases only to rely on ticket/accident and traffic flow data alone to determine the speed of a road. With the declining enforcement, I can see why tickets are declining but nevertheless in cases where...

    Why not do what Other Presidents Did?

    Nevertheless Leo, he was a democrat and his agenda was the same as FDRs. Look at what happened in Arizona that should be talked about more. Immigration went into a business to audit their employment records and found 300 invaders. The company, Pro Ranch Market's fired them. There were...

    Insurance Companies purchase of Police Radar guns.

    When this is going on, Michigan is having fight on two sides of the speed issue. One fight is over a law passed a few years back which is meant to study and then adjust the speed limits on all the roads except residential roads, which some claim the speed limit is set way too low. Already...

    Oil spill worsens

    What bothers me is the law suits that have already been filed. There is one fisherman who complained that after three disasters, he wants to be compensated for his loses - NBC interview. I thought fishing was a business which had to do with risk and dangers, if the government allows preemptive...

    Become an Expediter, See the Country

    Interesting... I agree with most of what is said, I took the opposite point of view for a reason, which had little to do with Phil - surprisingly. In the past five months, I have noticed more questions to do with the who, what, whys and hows than to do with travel coming from newbies in the...

    So Chef, if they entered armed, isn't that considered an invasion and not civil?

    Become an Expediter, See the Country

    Chef, business first, play later. Promoting the obvious seems to step away from reality. Let's say it is an added bonus but not a reason to become an expediter, that is a foolish and rather dumb reasoning - to enter a business when you are putting in a bunch of money into a truck and equipment...
