That is very sad that two people died in that crash. The driver made it.

Thats why its better to get a percentage of the run then a flat rate. That is one of the reason's we don't have any trucks on with Panther right now. It's not that they are a bad company, it because the way they have things set up. A small load at FedEx that is 60 miles may pay 200 plus dollars...

The money for us has been the same or better. FUEL is The REAL problem. I was watching a show with Mrs. Clinton on it and she was talking about Oil prices are killing the US dollar and so on. I'm going to vote for her if she makes it. Made better money when Bill and her was in the White House...

Gregg you and me try to agree on things most of the time. But, I would have to say your wrong on this one. As a Fleet Manager for two different fleets. FedEx Custom Critcal does not or will not skip a truck to give a load to a fleet owners trucks. Gregg I don't know what happened with you and...

I wouldn't take that plan either Steve. Maybe $2.00 a loaded mile and $1.00 Deadhead plus FSC for an E-Unit.

Now I think this is neat, your happy about getting a bunk that is less than 60 inchs. Some drivers get upset about an 86 inch sleeper. My 1st truck had a 48 inch Dbl bunk sleeper and I thought it was cool.

One thing you can do to keep your batterys charged when running different things is get a solar panel that RV's use to keep there batterys charged. This panel sits on the top of your roof and will keep your batters charged. Just food for thought.

Our one truck just did a nice Pfizer load out of Memphis, so I would have to say that it not the case. Since it was a C- load.

Don't worrie that would never happen.

Good post and I think you hit the nail right on the head.

Memphis is a good Express Center and the freight seems to pick up in the afternoon. Many drivers will head there after unloading within 150 miles of that Express Center, that may be the cause of so many trucks their today. I have seen many trucks there when I checked in and everyone got out...

Now Dave, we all don't think like that lol. Honestly we all are hauling some prestigious freight. If you think about it. No matter what company you are leased on too.

Should of told them to call an LTL carrier. The reason they didn't because the cost would have been much higher. The reason the have it on a load board is because they ae trying to get some sucker to take the load. Say no to CHEAP freight.

I know what you mean Arkjarhead. I was in the Marines from Sept of 87 to Dec of 87. I got hurt at PI during bootcamp and was sent to MRP, so I guess that don't count as being in the service. Which is okay with me. My DD214 says I was in the Marines, but honestly does it really matter.

If your staying in Atlanta, Ga you can go to the Motel 6 at the 1st exit off of 675 north. If you work for FedEx the rooms are $28.00 a night for a room with two beds. They also have truck parking too. Its alot cheaper than fuel.

Tried to click on it but my mouse go crazy.

Dave is right, here is a link to some of the pictures of early Roberts Express trucks and some pictures of trucks over the years. Remember C-link pager Dave. link MySpace

Yep, that's me. I was the president too if you want to listen Juliewray. Since they think that know so much about me. But to be honest I really don't care. I don't have anything to prove anyone or anyone to impress so does it really matter what this person thinks of me. Nope. Oh, and since...

Thanks Phil, Thanks will be useful for all of our drivers too. Owners and Fleet managers can order up to 25 maps for free.
