    My trucks have been busy.

    I was going to post a comment on this thread,but it sounded like a competition between FECC and PII,so ill just leave it alone.But as far as the back haul loads,they would like you to stay out at least 2 weeks before you ask for one.If I need to be home,i'm not taking a load that will make me do...

    Expedited tractors

    As ive posted many times,FECC isnt about mileage,its revenue.if i wanted to run miles id go to Forward Air,they can load you with miles,dedicated too,but I make more money one way to California than they do round trip,in a tractor for FECC

    Very Disappointing numbers

    You may or may not want me to say this,but,yes you can haul dry freight,much cheaper pulling thier trailer,but to your advantage,you can also haul temp assured freight.This is a plus on your side.Try something for 1 month,dont turn any loads down,no matter what,see where you stand then.

Remember the freedom you have was brought to you...

    Very Disappointing numbers

What I have to say...

    Diesel Stolen While Driver Sleeps

    if you loosen the fuel line from the tank,its faster getting fuel out than sucking it out with cyphin.Locking cap wont stop that.Small dogs bark at everything,lots of falty barks.If you want to keep that fuel,just dont stop,but if you have to,buy wife a cot,and have her sleep next to truck
