No, I am NOT a slave. I meant getting just the name strips. It is spelled Wyandotte. That is the city next to where I was raised which is Riverview.

Yeah, Bean is OK. I was not happy with the cut on the last few shirts I bought from them. Columbia fits me better than most. I am NOT a fan of cotton shirts. In summer I like VERY light weight fishing shirts, caped vented backs to stay cool. I don't do well once the temp gets much over 65. 70...

"Actually Layout, if some of those tighta** employees in green would send you an electronic copy of FedEx's image manual, you can get any embroidery shop take the correct image from the copy and put it to cloth, it has been done by one of your great contracting cohorts to their nice LL Bean...

I NEVER go offshore without a REAL compass and a set of REAL charts. Even on waters that I know well, like the Detroit River and the extreme western basin of Lake Erie I have a set of high end recreational charts. I don't need full nav charts out there. Too many things can go wrong with these...

Hey, BE NICE!! LOL! :D

I wish that I could just buy the "name tag" part of our uniform shirts. The sewed on part that says FedEx Custom Critical. They I could buy better looking, more comfortable shirts, sew those tags on myself, still carry the brand name but look and feel better. I really dislike the low quality...

OK, I just do NOT want you to think that I was snubbing you. I am just NOT that type as anyone in here who knows me will tell you. I was really disappointed the next day when I found out it was you.

Greg, we were inside when you pulled in. We then walked outside and stood around and talked for a good bit. I was looking as somebodies APU for at least 10 minutes before I left to go home. I did NOT see you in your truck AND at that time I did NOT know it was you or your truck. That was the ONE...

Greg, I HAVE seen your truck. It is NOT what I am speaking of. I know how to run a business. I WOULD have some sort of uniform even IF I was running my own operation. I think it looks more professional and presents a better image to the customer. My truck might be older but it would be well...

Mom and Pop's do NOT have to run junk. IF I were so inclined to run on my own I would NOT lower my standards. I may end up doing that some day. Who knows? Right now it does not suit my needs. Next week it might. Much depends on the types of freight you haul as well. Is it REALLY time...

Greg, I am talking about JUNK, not older but well maintained equipment. When trucks break down and freight is not delivered on time shippers will return to some of the higher quality carriers. I know that there are MANY good, solid older trucks out there. They do a fine job. I also know that...

OK, I won't answer that!! :p

I don't drink kool-aid, purple or any other color. It is NASTY stuff. I am not speaking of REAL companies. There are LOTS of off the wall expediter companies out there. I see their trucks all the time. Junk. Rust buckets. Gives the entire industry a bad name. Those are the ones I am speaking of...

The more we become like our competition the less freight we will have and the lower our rates will go. Higher standards cost more in the SHORT TERM. Lower standards ALWAYS cost more LONG TERM. Sooner our later some upstart carrier is going to start to advertise a fleet of HIGHER standard...

I have FINALLY figured out how to insure that my data tapes print right. It works perfect as long as I remember to do it right in the first place. It is a pain in the tush to say the least. I too liked the old ones better. I love the one when I have a reefer load and I get a "temp out of...

It is like every other industry. Competition drives down costs. That makes it hard for those who have GOOD equipment to compete with the CHEAP junk. Then the junk starts to take over. The service that is expected is NOT there. The marginal junk goes away as shippers return to higher cost but...

I think that maybe a few of the "marginal" carriers should go away.

When we were responsible for our own TVAL calibrations we were required to do that job twice a year. That, in my opinion, was just one of the things that set us apart from our competition. FDCC could point out that our fleet was more accurate and checked more closely than the others. A good...
