Maybe I spoke too soon. Did another favor and picked up a load to El Paso. So we maybe stuck in the desert but at least it was almost 1800 miles. Nice run if we don't get hammered with a bunch of dead head out of there. We be happy for a day or two. Until the next time we get stuck. Thanks...

We did a dispatcher a favor and took a load to Southern Georgia, then had to d/h to Nashville to get another load. Leaving us a net profit of zip cuz of the relocation. This time we took a load to up state NY cuz we had not had a good offer in a while and this one was 800 miles. So we have...

August started out with a bang but dried up half way through. Been kinda slow ever since. As a team we can't seem to find a long load (over 700 miles) more than once a week. Only one run over 900 in the last few weeks. I know this is suppose to be the busy time, but can't prove it by us...

I just hope when I die they reduce me to ashes an then drop me in the nearest dumpster. At that point I won't care. Why spend thousands for a box and a vault and have some poor sap dig a hole in some perfectly good sod to plant something that won't grow. Just place their ashes in a quart jar...

The paint ball gun would be a blast. Until someone thought it was real and shot me. In Texas most don't speak english but all of them are armed. I really do speak quite a bit of spanish and only use it when its fun like ordering in an italian restaurant and the waiter is mexican. It throws...

St. Louis had two vans there and the last two weeks only sent out one load on Monday. So here we sit, in the Decatur Petro, just called our friends to go our bail, so we'll remain in the Decatur Petro, just send our mail to the Petro general mail. Weekends are difficult to get a good run...

I agree. Why should I pay for someone else's kid to eat so they can spend 200 bucks on tennis shoes and sun glasses while they get an english lit or history degree that won't pay them a living wage when they finally do get out of school and they have to go back on food stamps cuz they can't...

I have had this discussion with several expediters and we are still on the fence. We do chase some freight and have done well at it most of the time. Some times it just makes since "to us" to sit and let the FedEx gods work their magic. As a team we have gotten out of Elk Grove or Dearborn...

He's soft on immigration and that would make it hard for me to support him.

Got stopped by a trooper in Texas one time and the first thing he said to was "how long have you been in my country". We have been stuck down there a couple of times and have no desire to go back but will if the $$$ is right. It's just hard to get a load out. It's hard to communicate in Texas...

Talk to Todd Furguson at FedEx. He is one of the recruiters and I have found him to be honest. We have done okay with the Fed since we signed on. But everyone is different. We don't try to get home so that has not been a problem. If you work for them you will find your own way. There is...

1st part of Aug was really good. Last few days have slowed down and now stopped. 3600 loaded miles 1st week of Aug. Just 1000 since. I liked the 1st week better. These are team miles in the van. It would be much tougher as a solo. Oh and had 600 miles of deadhead out of Denver on our own...

Isn't there a new J just south of DFW? We stayed at one a while back with out trouble.. The last few trips we stayed at Rockwall and it was fine. Not found of Dallas or Texas as far as that goes but we have ended up there several times in the last 6-8 weeks. Last time we deadheaded to...

Unless of course you need a shower. Hope everyone tries it once in a while. It would make the world a fresher place. Soap is not optional.

Im glad the government screws me cuz its the only sex I get. At least they use a condom.

How do I gain access to the FedEx forum. We are unit B-5218 Curt and Conneila

I will run almost anywhere for that.

Todd at FedEx never made it sound rosy for us. As far as we can tell, he was totally honest with us. So far we are running enough to keep us happy. I know as a team we are doing okay. It would be much tougher as a solo. Todd told us the best advise he could give was to have patience and...

Just a note, Reed is from Nevada so she would have a tough time running against him when she is in a different state. I made my contribution to the fence and will make one every week until it is built. Way to Go AZ.

You guys did a nice job. We had a good time. We will attend again next year unless we are stuck in Texas or somewhere else we should avoid. Again, great job!
