I read the original post and I am not sure he is implying that the owner should provide a GPS? That aside, as a fleet owner, I don't look at that as a function I would perform. I would like to think we only hire professionals.:eek: In that thinking, I don't care whether they use paper maps...

"Slutwalk"? What will they come up with next? Can't really render an opinion on this without a pictorial.:D

Maybe something in Hino's future, but looking at the 2012's, I am not seeing it. According to their site. 260HP is the largest available. 5.57 rear end ratio At 75MPH it is running at 2500 RPM:eek: Way under powered and at those ratios, a fuel guzzler. Running highway speeds I see...

Very true. On a side note without knowing the specifics, I did her today that the Obama is floating a plan to give 21k per household that is three months or greater behind in their mortgage. They are trying to figure out how to it without legislation because they don't think they can get it...

Might work that way a time or two but unfortunately, that is really not the case for many. I can't tell you the calls or emails I have received over the last several years regarding these things. Many jumped in with the minimum down payment because of the three year warranty. Many had these...

I do think there needs to be a temporary "safety net" for those that truly need it. TEMPORARY is the big component. Bad things happen to good people. With that said, welfare didn't exist along time ago, and people got by. As Cheri said, the corporate world pays little taxes and moves jobs...

I don't really see and increase with sprinters other than replacing some of the standard vans. More like airport courier work than what I would list as "expedite loads". Primarily because of the short distances. I do see straights taking more van freight than the other way around. Just look at...

Probably a good idea to hold tight just to make sure. Let us know the outcome. You never know, it might dispel one of those floating myths.

It wouldn't be uncommon for them or UPS to use a outside source, especially on the east coast. Just the same a lot of broker loads come out over there as well. Over in the Fed forum they are talking about critical loads going on flat raters or company trucks. That has been going on for awhile...

Congrats. I guess the qualifications are more relaxed at the Fed compared to the Cat.

A 3126 isn't designed to pull 45k. Way too much weight. I would look at a class 8 for what you are trying to do.

I believe you have to see the one they have when you sign on. After that, you can use your own.

He should have his answer at this point.

What is the purpose of a route broker? It would seem a route is purchased right from Fedex? Maybe not.

Might want to reread this thread. The 28 turn downs are from Easytrader who IS with Fedex. Even the "outsiders" can see the lunacy in that.

Not likely the chambers as they would both have to go out at the same time. Possible, but not that likely unless it is way out of adjustment. Should be automatic on a straight. Drive in reverse resets them when brakes are applied. I would check the park valve itself. Including seals and the...

Another place I would have absolutely no patience. If a carrier can't manage their own finances, they likely aren't managing their freight finding abilities either.

I can't really say what others motives may or not be that are contractors there. Fielding 14 or 27 load offers in a day seems excessive. It is obvious why they do it, but it would almost borderline as a safety issue in my opinion. If you came off a long run, when does one sleep while all that...

It didn't get removed based on the length of time he has been a member.

Do you know Easytrader? He just wrote a post similar to yours?
