Dieseldiva you are right it was me driving. I just had to put that I in there. I was trying to stick to the we but it didnt work. Bob couldnt believe it when I pulled up to that line and once in the line you cannot get out! I am glad to hear I am not the only one that has done that.

Boy DD I thought we had that honor!! It is almost a joke anymore how often we get in the slowest line. The worst though was when we where leaving British Columbia and after we where cleared to go I got in the wrong line to leave and we spent another hour getting X-Rayed!! That one was funny.

Jim, That just goes to show how many calls a day FedEx Custom Critical is getting a day if they are also having to farm them out. We are as busy as we want.

We use the Lowrance Iway 500c but believe when we upgrade we will get one of the Garmens with the truck routing.

DaveKC you are proving my point about talking about other companies loads. We have hauled several LG loads and from different cities and even with dead head all have been about the 1.10 mark. We as FedEx Custom Critical Contractors cannot with any authority discuss what a Panther contractor...

First as all it appear all you have is a computer I would use MapQuest to locate all shipper and receivers. Next I would look into getting a dash mounted GPS. I would not recommend using your computer due to the investment you have in it. The laptops we use don't seem to handle the constant...

I also dont know where you are coming from! 98 loads this year and 3 where offered as B loads.

are12 Thought you were kidding about the FedEx Apparel! One truck does not make a fleet so one truck is not a good example of how the general fleet is doing. If you are in a bad area and you stay in a bad area you get bad loads or no loads. I believe on one hand we where trying to defend...

If you are in an Express Truck and have sat two days I would consider moving. Call in to dispatch and find out how many trucks are in your area and if you can find out where they are located. If you are not the number 1 truck and not the only one in the area I would sure move south to be...

RE: RE%3A test That sure looks like the front of Westminster Abbey Cathedral to me.

Lanier1 you go!! Good post. I also question the 1.10 at mile offers. Yes we do get low offers at times but wow do we also get more really good ones. That is sure part of the excitement of our job is looking at the qualcomm to see what the miles and load will pay. I also feel that one...

That is interesting to hear. I really enjoy Green Tea so might have to pick some up!

The stew sounds great!! Have you tried the new SteamFresh vegetables? We have fallen in love with those and sure eat more vegetables now. Neither one of us care for canned vegetables so this ia a perfect solution.

We cross the border often. When we first received our Fast Cards we gave the customs agent the Fast Card and then tried to give him our licenses also and he said I don't need those. We have never again given anything but our Fast Card going into Canada and out of Canada. We have never been...

Wow that is a nice truck but not enough to give up our D Unit for!!

This took a Team effort to get the tires lettered and they are by no means perfect! Boy what a job but they do look cool. We had a problem on the front tires with the filler flaking. We used the paint pens to outline the letter and then craft paint to paint the interior. We used the same paint...

RE: Special Seal RE: Seal on truck We also use a good padlock on our truck loaded, empty, or sealed! We also discussed getting a cable cutter. Bob was concerned over the liability of having one. My thoughts where who is too know if have one or not? Who is to say if you have or have had a...

RE: Looking For The Best of the Best... You guys are all GOOFY!! Any one that says we don't run hard doesn't look at our load acceptance or our income! We take pride in our truck also as that is how we make our money. First we take care of the essentials and that does include our retirement...

I have seen people really do well with Nutri System. Then they lose the weight they want and try to get back in the real world and still dont know what to eat and here it comes again. Bob was on Cholesterol medicine till he got on Atkins and his cholesterol went way down no more medicine. The...

This is another reason not to wait. Get your passport now!! If you have your Fast Pass though you can get in and out of Canada no problems.
