It's a little surprising to me (maybe disheartening is a better word) to see such a blatant example of dragging something from outside the current thread, into the current thread, for the sole purpose of a personal attack. Clearly, my long-running educational campaign to get people to pay more...

"Not in so many words" is right. LOL People really should read the actual articles they link to before creating incredibly misleading thread subjects and then making comments about the subject and the article. The article has nothing whatsoever to do with Obamacare. This has to do with the...

Not really. Bіtchin' is bіtchin'. :D

I like the part about the in-flight refueling. :D

Again, it depends. In your case, almost certainly not. But if you had contracts with your trucks that pay a flat rate per mile (like Panther does, for example), and the rate per mile is a low one, like 77 cents a mile, if you don't artificially break it down and add the FSC, you won't have...

If brokers and carriers are making money off the FSC, they're not smart, they're corrupt. nothig wrong with that , Well, except for maybe that corrupt part. still see nothing wrong with that . can't see how corroption play a part in making money off of the FSC . Wow

You know, if Obama just sat down and shut up, people would be bіtchin' 'bout "that lazy SOB just sits there an' don't speak up 'about nuthin'."

At least I didn't mention that it happened on Black Friday. I wanted to, really bad, but I didn't.

I typed all that crap in, did a Preview, and saw what you wrote. But I didn't want to just delete it all. Someone might get something from it. I know I did. :D

Scrooged, with Bill Murray. Die Hard is a close second. :D

That would be Congress.

Ah, good ol' CHef, always giving Zig Ziglar a run for his money.

It's a ripoff because if they charge and collect money specifically to offset the cost of fuel, and then fail to pass that money onto whoever is paying for the fuel, it's akin to fraud, and is outright theft. Smart's got nothing to do with it. Either you have a vehicle that costs you less to...

I know for sure you can get them at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. Whole Foods has organic crumpets. For that matter, now that I think of it, I've seen clotted cream at Whole Foods, too. You can also almost certainly find them, and lots of British foods, at Cost Plus World Market. It's been a...

The problem with winter tires in expediting is, you install the tires and then spend the next 3 months down south, or driving up north on already cleared roads. Last winter I drove on snow-covered roads once, maybe twice. Once that I can remember, but there may have been another time.

It's only mildly serious, at best. They're extremely low level radiation rods used to calibrate CAT scanners. It's the same thing that's used to detect radiation sources at airports and at border crossings. They're germanium isotopes. Like Phil said, you could stand in the sun for days holding...

Here's one with a little more detail. Much ado about not much, really. FedEx Locates Missing Shipment of Radioactive Rods - BusinessWeek

Yeah, apparently it's so bad with some (or many) drivers that when you call in and tell them you're stuck in traffic, they'll ask you what mile marker, and they'll call the state or local police to see if yer lyin'. If you're in the middle of a snowstorm, the real-time radar online had better...

Your questions are pretty much being answered here --> http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/44496-some-honest-questions-about-fsc.html

In some sense nobody cares what their carrier charges the customer for FSC, but at the same time, as Dave pointed out, most carriers demand transparency and honesty out of their fleet owners and drivers, and the drivers and fleet owners should expect and demand the same out of their carrier. You...
