    Things I Like about FECC

    Greg, I did not say that they always get it right but I do KNOW that they are trying. I have gone on sales calls with sales agents to assist them. Potential customers who wanted to "see" a FDCC truck or talk with some drivers. This post was started to post some "positives" that people see in...

    Rasmussen Poll

    I hope that every incumbent on every level of local, state and national government, that is up for re-election, loses in this next election. Getting rid of Reid would be a HUGE bonus!!

    Things I Like about FECC

    I like the way that they are always going after new business. Looking for new kinds of freight or finding new ways to exploit available freight. I like having the "FedEx" name, their "brand power" so to speak. They might not always get it right but they are not just sitting back doing the same...

    That IS why we are headed there. We are sitting at our pick up, delayed for an hour while they decide what they are going to send out there.

    "Touchdown Jesus" Burns....

    I was not trying to justify anything by anybody. I was just pointing out who might have been the "Last Catholic Crucified". Nothing more. That is a messed up area and has been for years. When we had troop stationed in Ethiopia in the '70's they were NOT allowed to wear their uniforms. They...

    "Touchdown Jesus" Burns....

    I am aware of the history, but you said the "last Catholic" That seems to have been in the Sudan in 2009, that is the last confirmed evidence of a Cristian/Catholic being crucified that I have been able to find. Glad you see you back to your normal satirical self!! We would not know you other...

    Deer Are Pests

    We have more wasteland in Michigan than is able to be imagined and we are STILL draining wetlands and planting house on farms. There is SO much vacant land in the cites that we could, and should, build there for years. Never happen, MOST not all, of the residents who live in those cites LIKE it...

    Deer Are Pests

    It is amazing home we work against nature in just about everything we do instead of working with it. We could come out way ahead and accomplish the same things that we are today.

    Deer Are Pests

    Scared might be a much better term description of deer behavior around roads than stupid. It is not the deer's fault that man has put roads and highways through the middle of their homes.

    "Touchdown Jesus" Burns....

    I did. I said that I did NOT INTEND to ridicule the BELIEFS of the Muslim religion and then said that if I had I apologize for it. I take it you missed that post. I DO knock what some extremists are doing in the NAME of the Muslim religion. That post was an email that I got and should NOT have...

    Less Than a Buck to laredo

    I don't know what other trucks are seeing but our truck does LESS business at the end of the week, not more. It is common to get a Monday load on Friday and even sometimes on Wed or Thursday. We have not waited 48 hours this year during the week. We have if you took a weekend into the mix. I...

    Less Than a Buck to laredo

    Those really low paying loads are often van loads. They are seldom White Glove. They can be surface loads with some dead head too. We have been seeing a lot of runs offered with extreme dead heads as well. Far more than in the past. By extreme dead heads I am talking about 6-800 miles. We have...

    Less Than a Buck to laredo

    I would have to look at the load to determine why it comes out low. Often it is because of very long dead heads to the pick up. That will often bring down the per mile rate. We see that often. It makes things look bad when they shoot these loads out to trucks that are long distances away. Now...
