Try pulling back the rubber sleeve over the turn signal lever. There is a white plug near there. Pull it out, it's easy, clean out the old burned dielectric grease and put new in. It has held for about 3 weeks for me now. Thanks to Team Caffee for the tip. I understand that there the other end...

RE: FedEx Custom Critical Express Centers Geez, I live in Michigan, near Detroit. Kinda speaks volumes on Michigan politics and taxes. I hate to think I might have to move, but, if things don't change I might. At least I live closer to Toledo than Detroit. Layoutshooter.

FedEx once asked us to go out of service, which we did. We were very tired and tried to play the, *let's stay in service and turn down a bad load* game. We were WAY down the list so we did not expect an offer. AS ALWAYS, we had two load offers minutes apart which we turned down. When asked why...

I am soooo glad to see that we are not the only ones who enjoy the overall competence of our carrier. Any other great stories from other carriers? I bet that FedEx is not the only one with good people. Come one guys, let's hear it, no bashing. Let's give those good people thier due. Bashing...

Are there different laws on this for straight trucks/tractors etc vs. passenger/vans? Are the whiter/blue bulbs legal on bigger trucks. I don't often see them. Layoutshooter

Me too!!! Hope someone knows where that site is. Layoutshooter

Thank you, I think that all sides of this business should be reflected fairly. Carriers will mess up. That should be posted. Helps to keep them honest and others in here learn what to look out for. On the flip side, they should be recognized when they do well. We all like a little thanks when...

This is a thanks to our carrier. Carriers take a lot of bashing in here, sometimes deserved and sometimes not. They should be thanked when they do right. We picked up a load in L.A. on 10-19 heading for Toronto. The paperwork was messed up but we were told to roll and it would be fixed before...

Phil, If the good congressman had a brain he would be in private industry not government. They all need a soap box. That is how they get re-elected. PA, like every other state, needs more money. They ALWAYS need more money. If they were to raise taxes on PA residents they would not be...

We always try to remember to thank the customer for thier business. I makes a very good impression. We somehow missed that there was things, magnets etc, to pass out. A great oversight on our part. You would think that FedEx would push these items when you go there for training etc. A great...

Have not heard that. Would not make a real difference. I seldom get my loads out of the express center I am at or any express center. I just take what comes my why. Deadheading is the norm. No problem with that if the pay is right. I often just stay where ever I unload if I think it is a good...

Well India, These things will never get fixed. There is no incentive for them to fix it. We, as consumers, have let these large companies get away with shoddy workmanship by not insiting that they fix the problems. Most people, myself included, accept what we are told by them. It is out of...

Would a bad team of ducks in a truck be a team that is not it's all *quacked up* to be? layoutshooter

RE: An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening Sorry to hear that, we have been busy all year and most of last. Must e the luck of the draw.Layoutshooter

Hey Greg, Would a team of ducks in a truck be a **FLY BY NIGHT TEAM**? Sorry about that, could not resist.

Was just wondering out loud. I thought it might help me learn about picking drivers if I ever wanted to start a fleet. I do know someone who might be interested. I have known them for 2 years and know how they work. I would most likely go that route if I do anything. It is hard to get hunting...

RE: An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening BlackTiger, We are with FedEx WG. They were not cheap freight. Talked with another driver today, says the same thing. Long runs at deceint pay. Layoutshooter

Ok, have anyone, after reaching thier monetary goals for the year, ever put a team in thier truck for a the last month or two of the year? Just to keep the truck running and take time off as well. Just wondering. The subject has come up from time to time at truck stops etc. Sounds interesting...

DROOL, doing what to us to us to us to us? I spent 20 years in the high tech radio/satellite world. I must be dead. That would explain alot. Layoutshooter
