    fecc no longer negotiating rates

    As with any company, they must cover their loads as profitably as they can. When the stated new policy begins to effect their revenue and their relationship with their customers, you will probably see some movement back to where they were at. I don't believe it would be in their best interest...

    Truck Show

    If it is like last year, parking at the stadium worked out well. If you arrive early, the RV lots have spaces and hook ups. From the stadium there is a shuttle that runs every 15 to 30 minutes. Davekc owner 20 years

    fecc no longer negotiating rates

    Sounds like folks may be doing alot of deadheading on their own dime. Everyone has to be fair. I am sure A Team has a provision in his business plan to compensate all of the FedEx drivers effected by his comments. I would be disappointed if this was advise given to him by his experienced 11 man...

    Is it a Volvo or a Freightliner!

    I like the volvo sleeper part, but have never been a fan of the front ends. It is kinda strange looking. Davekc owner 20 years

    What actually caused this

    Soot is staining your paint. Put a high quality wax on it and it should take care of it. Wax will have to reapplied every 3 to 6 months. Hope that helps Davekc owner 20 years

    fecc no longer negotiating rates

    This unfortunate policy change on the part of FDXCC came about due to the A Team blantly posting that he would recoup his fingerprinting costs for him and his wife by holding out for more revenue when "I am the only truck in the area". This was posted on the Haz/mat thread last week. Apparently...

    Epedited Experience vs Life Experience vs Trucking

    RE: Epedited Experience vs Life Experience vs Truc Good Post. As you have found, just because someone is experienced in something doesn't always mean their answer is correct. But one can build a portfolio of information from experienced and inexperienced people to arrive at a proper conclusion...

    boxes / van body factory outlet?

    Supreme truck bodies usually have a place in every state. They have new as well as used boxes. They also do installs as well. Davekc owner 20 years

    SAFETY IN NUMBERS!

    I agree. For the folks that visit often, it is of little benefit. However, for the new, it helps identify the source until they have become aware of all the members. Davekc owner 20 years

    Average Miles Per Week for Teams

    Not sure who removed it, but a 6600 mile week is possible. We have done it before. To be certain, it is not a representation of what the standard carriers average. Davekc owner 20 years

    liability issue?

    Any situation as mentioned above would leave you exposed in several different ways. Probably the two biggest issues are if you really have the specified coverage and in what amounts. Even if for example you have a million coverage, but a judgement is for 2 million, you are exposed on the...

    HAZMAT Debacle

    They might all eventually want their own prints. If there is money to be made at it, they all will be involved. Maybe I should get my ink pad out:) Davekc owner 20 years

    Is This Forum For Everyone, Or Just An Elite Few?

    RE: ! ! ! The Forum has Spoken ! ! ! Not only are these types of posts confusing, but they bring an issue of credibility into the picture. Experience does matter regardless of the industry. Even if it only relates to the driving portion of expediting. If that is in question, please...

    Gear Ratios

    Certainly a strange post. It seems we have went for weeks discussing how experience doesn't matter, and yet that appears to be the cornerstone of your truck building process. Now I am confused? Davekc owner 20 years

    ~ RISK ~ LIABILITY ~ !!! HAZMAT !!!

    Fingerprinting has numerous limitations in its effectiveness. The only value is if the person has a questionable past. It does nothing to address anything else if one has no history. In addition, companies should pay more for hauling these types of loads. Most don't pay because they don't have...
