    evidentlyi am dead

    evidently I am dead Jack, acknowledging you have a problem is the first step in overcoming it. You're on the right track and I'm sure you can pull through this. Until then maybe Gracie should do all of the driving. Did you happen to run into Jimmy Hoffa?

    cpm gas vs diesel

    Come on Turtle, you know what Tom Waits says: "The large print giveth and the small print taketh away". He's reading the price on the sign but missing the small print denoting "cash price". When he gets to the pump he sees the price is higher at the pump than what's stated on the sign...

    Picking up at Southwest

    Thanks Scott. I believe for security reasons a driver needs an AWB as proof of authorization to take procession of the freight. Twice in my expedite career I picked up packages at passenger terminals at the baggage claim. Once the box was sitting next to a locked baggage claim office with...

    Picking up at Southwest

    You're welcome! Anything for the Big Ludwikowski. I've gotten to the point where I will refuse a load if my carrier can't provide an AWB or a pro number for an LTL carrier with the load offer. I your carrier doesn't have the AWB you may have to wait until morning for them to contact their...

    C.R Robinson

    Panther found the loads for me. But it does work the other way. C.H. Robinson is an authorized Panther "backhaul" broker. I have never used their load board for a load though.

    Picking up at Southwest

    Here you go: Southwest Air Cargo - Map and Cargo Destinations Scroll down to Louisville it will provide an address phone# and link to mapquest. I'd call ahead and hopefully your carrier provided an AWB number (airway bill number).

    The Sinking Of The Titantic - FDCC

    Thanks Phil. I can see T/T becoming more popular with expedited carriers, especially if recruiting and retaining teams becomes a problem.

    The Sinking Of The Titantic - FDCC

    Management is not only mandated by the company(corporation), but even more so by the shareholders to pull a specific number for revenue. It all boils down to profit and return on investment. I believe some parallels exist between Con-Way selling off their expedite unit 5 years ago and FedEx...

    How will this truck work?

    "Brake failure" is a rather broad and nebulous term. Can you be more specific? If the failure was because of heat build up resulting in brake fade, then going to a hydraulic system adds one more component that will fail due to excessive heat.

    The Sinking Of The Titantic - FDCC

    Brisco and others have referred to "company owned equipment" in this thread. Could someone who is actually leased to FECC expand on this for me?
