Excellant website, thank you for this info. As to the langauge issue: Americans require others to speak the accepted national language which is English. Canada is bi-lingual allowing others to speak either English or French (or both) nation wide. Qubec and Montreal have elected on their own to...

I agree with Greg; some people talk for their own benifit, to make themselves feel better about their situation. On the whole I find most experienced expediters to be honest hard-working people who will go out of their way to offer help or encouragement based on honesty

Speed zones in Massachusetts are designated based on "thickly settled" which is 30 mph or below and are usually rural small town heavily populated areas. Other areas are as posted. Get caught speeding in a thickly settled area and the fines can really shock you; $50. from 1 to 10 miles over 30...

I have a few problems with this post that I would like to post; As clearly explained by Terry and Rene, FXCC has a simple and understandable policy for relocation that is not new. I've had planning cooperate each time they were asked. Why would anyone sit for a couple of days and then file a...

I appreciate the info, and from the point of certainly not being mechanical (some say I can barely drive) I can easily accept the "duh" and then take in the valuable info also provided. I try to learn something that improves me everyday. I welcome this info as the soon to be owner of a 08...

Hey Crazy: Really appreciate the info, very informative. Don't intend to use anything other than what is recommended, just curious about what to do if you cannot find a station with ULSD. I know from experience that using leaded fuel in a 4 wheeler equiped with a cat/exhuast will turn the...

Does anyone know if Fedex always their lease to be used to bypass sales tax?

Any new trucks out there that require the new ULSF? Are you find ing any difficulty getting the fuel? What do the engine makers say about using the old fomula fuel in the new engines when for example you can not find the ULSF?

RE: how is Fedex to work for and can you make mone The replies above hit the mark. Fedex is one of the leading companies in Expediting and I believe have the largest fleet available. This allows customers the satisfaction of knowing that when they call Fedex there will be trucks available to...

Difficult question to answer. We run a 22'box, but most of the runs (over 50%) are one or two pallets or less. Very seldom have we every used the entire box. I understand better now why many choose a "C" Unit so that they can get the largest sleeper. Using a smaller box - again most loads are 1...

Mr. Good: Excellent slide showing a few good sites in Boston. Lived there all my life and still enjoy walking around. It's one of the few cities that is a "BIG' city in a very "small" area. A few hours and you can see alot of history and most of the sity. I've been fortunate to have traveled...

Hey Jam; I'm a fleet owner and drive a W/G truck. I considered it lucky to be picked for the upgrade because just prior to asking there had been a hold on new W/G trucks. I am presently trying to get a second truck and team upgraded and again there is a hold on increasing W/G trucks. Phil is...

Good luck with your new venture. jack

Western Star not only is a O/O spec'd truck, but they have one of the best warranties in the industry. The sleeper is about the largest factory built at 82". As for dealers: TSI in Ohio, Bill Moore is one of the best dealerships I have had the pleasure to work with. He specializes in building...

Hello A-Team, As you know we're with FXCC. And again this experience could have been either a disaster and very expense for us or a win - win for us and our company which it turned out to be, all because our company worked with us.

F-T-F; I still consider myself a newbie, but I have two team trucks on the road now and a New WS on the way and can I offer some advice? Your info includes; $60,000 for 07 model anything is questionable, but you have 10/15% to put down (6-9 thou) and three months living expense (4-6 thou?). You...

Happened to us in Minn. this past winter - little different story. Weather was -30, nothing would run and everything frozen. We tried to get a tow - but were told maybe within the next three days! Called our company with the problem and within 15 mins. up pulls a wrecker. Terms were that we had...

Here is a question which the more experienced out there can explain and I know a lot of us newbees will be helped. Your sitting in xyz for a day or so - how do you get your own load, where do you look, what is the normal process? I understand that each company has it's own policy about allowing...

RE: Stuck in Seville, Cleveland, Akron area for Me Don't think we will be in the area unfortunately, but I still want to say thanks for the invite. We have a fantastic family of expediters out there and this is just another great example. Thank you from Jack and Steve.

We use Delorme Street Atlas. It is not designed only for truckers, but with very little work you can customize it. It can be bought at Walmart, etc. and just for the disk and gps u nit it cost about $89. then you need a computer and we use Dell 700 which is about the size of a clipboard.
