Just remember Home Time = No Pay. We stay out for usually 10 - 12 weeks, then maybe home for 1. That's us. I don't think FedEx has a "hard-set" time you must stay out, but rather they want you to be available for a certain % of time to haul freight. I'm not sure of the actual % (thinking it's...

We must have just missed you! We were there yesterday and just left about 2 hours ago. Fun times :)

Home in sunny, warm northwestern Ohio. Lol. Back out sometime late next week. Hope everyone has a blessed Easter. Be safe out there :)

Up front, Evansville, IN at the Flying J. Could be worse, lol.

Well, thought we were going, but got one of those offers that was just too good to turn down :) We might make it back in time, just have to see.

Flying J, in sunny Lodi, CA. Guess if we have to be stuck somewhere for the weekend, this isn't a bad place to be! Sunny and in the upper 60's at 10:30 in the morning local time. Hope to get something out headed east yet today, but probably here for the weekend.

If I remember correctly, we were told during orientation, that under no circumstances were we ever to operate a customer's forklift. (I'm sure for insurance reasons.)

If you are going to be driving a straight truck with no recent experience, FedEx will most likely have you pass a driving test. (Similar to the driving portion of the CDL exam.) I had to take the driving test when I started (apparently they don't consider 25 some odd years as "recent"! lol) It...

Are you talking about the actual truck number (CXXXX, DRXXXX)? That would really make no sense at all, as truck number really has nothing to do with experience, just time in the fleet. And even that is debatable.

A little R&R here in the Golden State. Spent most of the day on the beach just north of Malibu. The Pacific Coast Highway sure was beautiful :) Headed East Monday.

Layout, stop and see us at the Glendale Petro if you get the chance. Parked up front in the RV spots. Here till tomorrow afternoon, then headed north to Louisville.

Waiting here in KY at consignee to unload (They open at 08:00). Pick up in Louisville on Monday headed to San Diego :) Sure the weather will be horrible there ;)

Ontario, CA at the TA up front. Pickup tomorrow headed east :)

Reno for the weekend, then p/u in Cali. Monday. Short intrastate run.

Louisville, getting ready to head way west. Slow week till now.

A little north of Louisville, waitin on a great Monday load (we hope!) :)

Our truck weighs in close to 30,000# empty. But, it's a twin screw, and can gross 46,000 anywhere. But not interested in hauling 16,000#. It's not how much it weighs, but how much it pays :cool:

It can vary greatly. We've hauled a little as 1 fifteen pound cardboard box, up to over 12,000# of automobile parts. Our average load for last year was 3 pieces at a little over 1900#. About 80% of our loads were refrigerated, and I think tend to weigh less than your average surface type load...

Spent last night at the Monroe TA. Took about a half hour just to defrost the windows this morning!

Antioch. TN at the TA for a bit. Having the truck PM'd. Pickup in Indiana in the morning, headed to Pittsburgh. Glad to be out of the "deep freeze" for a little while ;)
