Thanks to everyone for the great replies.

I'm not much to look at, yet FedEx hired me. (and our dog)

We talked with two different white glove teams and both mentioned that they were told that some changes were coming the 1st of the year. I assumed it was more flat rate changes than anything. Don't want to spread more rumors so I will shut up at this time.

We met some fellow expediters who were cold and hungry. Not much work for them this season and their owner was slow in paying them. If you have had a blessed year why not keep Christmas in you year round. Look around the vans at the truck stop and at least buy someone a cup of coffee to keep...

Good luck with the cancer. I have been clear for 5+ years so you can too. New Year, New Life!

We have two goals this year. Be healthier (diet and exercise) and get more miles. Control the one we can and cus the one we cannot. Fast food is slowly killing us. But look at all the people we are keeping employed. Obama should give us a metal for economy stimulation. He's just too busy...

thanks guy's, I hadn't thought of that. Makes sense. Okay just another day in paradise.

I thought the day after the holiday would be screaming with companies realizing they need stuff in a rush. So much for my thoughts. We have been in Atlanta since thurs. One good offer that we didn't get and one that was not so good that we dumped. Guess I was way off to think we would be...

Looks like a "dog gone good time". (sorry, couldn't help my self)

We have been to the truck stops around the area. Got tired of the guy's running around trying to sell us "gold chains" or the "ladies on parade" We do stay at Wallyworld some times. Cuz it is New Years, we got a room and will wait out the wierdness until we get a run Monday (or ?) Thanks for...

Now thats funny!

I forgot to add in Nov 19 to Dec 1. We totaled 7214 loaded miles from 11-19 to Dec 17. Kinda slow, we would like about 2200 miles a week. But the holidays took a bite out and we had a couple more days of personal time. Cheers to all!

We got about 4800 in the same time frame. It has been kinda slow for a van. Took off on dec 17 and came back the 26th. We should have stayed home until the 1st. However, The new year is bright and shinny. There isn't any tarnish and we are ready to run. Gotta full tank of fuel, good tires...

Stuck in Atlanta. Got here Thursday. Hope that we get busy this next week. This week has been kinda slow. But we got a room, turned on NCIS and ordered in. Life is good. Except for not enough miles and thus not enough smiles when the $$$ comes in. It's warm and we are waiting for the run...

Anyone know of a safe place to park in a cargo van overnight near Duluth GA?

This is the reason we choose not to haul HazMat. In the last 7-8 months we have only picked up one load. The company was desperate and we did it as a favor. I'm not going to placard this van at all. (unless they raise the rate high enough I can't say no)

Missouri for one. My wife got her Class C but they made her get her Hazmat before they would issue it.

FedEx does use other companies from time to time.

Oh, and my wife wants to make sure everyone understands that she has no idea what I am talking about and she still has all of her gray matter intact. Although, after 37 years, I would think that some of my oddities have taken their toll on her. On my planet, she still rocks my world!

Crank up Radar Love or any other great rock sound (still living in the past) or sometimes is Andrea Bocelli singing Italian opera. It's hard to beat "Coast to Coast" to let your mind wander or the wonders of another world or worlds as the little grey men beam me up and experiment on my rotund...
