    Fedex C.C.

    In my humble opinion ..... (we all have one, eh?) If EO is wise .. they will, (like FEDCC), NOT get involved in issues between owners and their drivers. Nor between company's in relationships with each other, except for when it directly affects EO and their community. The fact the...

    Fedex C.C.

    It's not a matter of "sticking it" to anyone. As an employee, I would not pay to transport your truck, buy your fuel, fund your repairs, pay your tolls, hell, I would pay nothing! I work for you, I am not indebted to fund your operation.

    Too many vanners now ?

    I did not tell them to stay out .. I told them to stay out AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME. No reason for me to blow smoke up thier butt, the recruiters are payed to do that.

    Too many vanners now ?

    It's sort of like the economy, we don't have to many taxes, we have to much spending. As for vans, it's not that we have to many, we have to little freight. Add the fact the recuriters make it sound so rosy, and folks get a convoluted view that it's all milk and honey. A lot of the...

    Recruiting Manager

    Sorry, I am not a employee .. so the book does not apply. FSC? The amount Landstar is paying Sprinters would bring tears to the eyes of some. Suffice it to say it is more than adequate.
