    National Call-to-Action

    I am sorry but maybe you need to brush up on the Constitution... Every state has TWO Senators no matter the size and why the U.S. Senate has 100 members. Everyone has one Representative. Each state has at least one Representative and the House of Representatives has 435 members. So the U.S...

    Pro Numbers

    I was told the ones that start with a 5 are manually generated. Don't know if that is true but that is what a dispatcher told me.

    Speed Limiters

    We have been having a discussion in the FedEx Custom Critical Forum concerning Canadian speed limiters on our trucks and someone mentions that we seem to be the only company complaining or who seem to be worried about the enforcement of this law. So I am asking if any of the other companies...

    Speed Limiter Phone Calls

    I think it is time for revolution. Think about it the transportation industry as a whole we could rule the world. If we moved nothing people would get hungry and join us, they would not have fuel to move their vehicles, the army could not even run, think about how they get their supplies...

    Speed Limiter Phone Calls

    I am curious as to how many of you received a phone call from FDCC asking if you are putting a limit on your truck? I am also curious as to what you answered.

    sign of looking up ???

    Ok here we go: I saw a little girl walking down a yellow brick road she was wearing a funny looking shirt (I think she might have been an Ex Federal employee). She was skipping along with a funny looking black cat (it had 2 heads and no tail), a guy wearing a map (pretty sure he was wearing...

    A video worth its weight in silence!

    A good reason to keep your mouth shut. When I started driving over 25 years ago I was told that in order to drive in the US you need to know at least 175,000 different laws. So in 25 years I am sure that the number has risen accordingly. One might want to keep a lawyer on board to take care...

    Is THis What You Expected

    I have come to the conclusion that if I take a lot of loads that are below my operating cost and I get enough of those runs I should be able to make it up in volume.:rolleyes: Seems to be some carriers way of thinking anyway.

    Any Advice would be appreciated

    Your best bet with questions about the age of trucks would be to call the carriers. I say this because even a driver who started with any of the companies a week ago, might not know of changes that were made this week and the info they offer might have changed since they last checked.

    Fuel mileage update

    Just curious am I the only one out here who never catches a tail wind. I swear I can be bucking a 40 mph headwind going to p/u load and turn going right back the way I came and have a 40 mph headwind again. Maybe it is just my bad Karma.

    What did you do before you began driving?

    Is just us?

    I am still fuming about the load opp I got on Thursday. I was in the Carolinas and they wanted me to do a run on Friday p/u at 0830 deliver at 1200, 95#, and total miles 140, pay $68.82 (not a typo). I went online to FedEx Express to see what it would cost me to send a 95# package Next Day...

    Any Advice would be appreciated

    Just my two cents worth. I am in agreement with most of the suggestions you have received and will add mine. 1. This is not the time to start new in this business there is no room in the learning curve right now, one mistake could put you in dire straights and the way the business is running...
