    Hey FedEx Drivers - CLink vs. VRU

    OK this is not a FedEx Bashing thread. Has anyone else had problems with the VRU and the CLink giving out inaccurate info? I am in the great state of Arkensaw, Little Rock to be precise. I paid homage to Clinton and tried to book an appoinment with his massage parlor but they were booked till...

    National CALL-TO-ACTION

    John Just to add to this, I picked up a Dallas paper Sunday and on the front it had an article about the killer truck drivers of Texas. In the article it profiled one accident that was caused by an invader. I would recommend everyone to read it. http://tinyurl.com/hseok

    Ford's better idea?

    Gsvinsdad, I am not going to say much, but I understand your position. I am not one of the ignorant masses, I know what is going on and understand that the base wages are not the problem. $2X an hour is half or less of what you really make, ask the union to get the exact figure. I blame...

    How much would you charge for....

    Leo, the problem is the 'what if's' not the issue if someone is sitting and doing nothing for two or three days. You and I both know that this can turn into a nightmare, especially if the person who is paying has the idea that this should be cheaper than what is beig charged or what the current...

    How much would you charge for....

    DannyD, No disrespect but $1000 is too cheap. This is 2300 miles of driving and possible breakdowns, flat tires or putting oil in it every 200 miles. What I find odd is that here is a thread on a site that many people say 'Say NO to Cheap Freight' - well this is an example of cheap...

    The NEW face of the Democratic Party...

    Yous funny. Well first thing is that I am glad air America is not joining the ranks of other companies, there is an obvious reason for this but you will have to figure it out for yourself. I didn’t read anything on the site Aviator gave, that is the reason for my comment. I don't like half...

    Something to think about....

    Tallcal, Here we go I don't believe I have ever used the word hate in any of my postings.I would bet an expensive dinner on it. But I can find response's from others where hate has been used in the same sentence with Hillary,on this forum.But I won't.It does not matter. I don’t think you...

    The NEW face of the Democratic Party...

    Thanks Aviator, I added this to my list of weird and wonderful things. I like the one "Congress May be Prosecutable For Participating In Bush War Crimes" on the home page. I am still trying to figure out what war crimes and why the people in The International Criminal Court in The Hague...

    Good idea, it works well. I thought I posted something about the thermos pot I found - got to go through the threads to see.

    any one else BBQ?

    thats a good idea, don't forget the onion in the foil trick. Cut it up, throw some spices on it with a little oil and good addition to a steak. Corn in season is also good, I leave them in the husks (of course wash them and cut the tassles off) and warp them tightly in foil.

    Whats a good deal?

    Fuel Surcharge (FSC) is an adjustment that the shipper pays so the fuel is at a set level for the driver/owner/truck, usually around $1.25 a gallon. It is based on the price of fuel and is a percentage of the load price, right now I heard 19.5%. Some companies will put it as a per mile amount...

    failed contract negotiation

    I would say that all maintainence is his problem, not yours unless he wants you to buy the truck. I don't agree with the split on the FSC or any labor that the driver does - I mean actual labor like hand unloading.

    Ford's better idea?

    Paul I would agree to a point, before she came aboard that HP had slipped in market share and the service end of things show poor performance to the point people went to other vendors for printers and servers. I remember this all too clearly and the improvments she made from the consumer end. I...

    Something to think about....

    Tallcal, I had a really good reply but I got another load and had to go take care of that. Look I am not trying to insult you or convert you, all I am saying is to learn the facts. I get a lot of email from a lot of left leaning groups, more so than right leaning groups and most of the info...

    Ford's better idea?

    After hearing for a few days that Ford will lay off 75,000 workers, I find out today the package they are getting is outrageous. Just mentioned the retraining allowance, the health care and a separation pay is upsetting. I bet our great governor of Michigan will also kick in some more stuff that...

    New Tire Concepts

    >They don't look the best; therefore, the automotive >manufacturers will never install them as standard equipment. I don't agree, if the tire manufacturers decide to produce this product, all they have to do is stop selling the OEM/replacement tire air and there you go, you have no choice but...

    My impressions of Texas

    Well after spending 59 hours here, I wonder about something. there are several Latino tv stations here and I see what a difference in cultures, they believe in showing a lot of skin - both sexes. the other thing is some of the language they used. I have a limited spanish ablilities, I caught a...
