Do you get to negotiate for more money, since you're doing part of their job for them? Sent from my DROID RAZR using EO Forums mobile app

Yeah, probably FedEx Ground. You know, because it says FEDEX FREIGHT on the trailer in the crash photo. Next, I'd bet the driver's QC doesn't show squat, except maybe what melted plastic and glass look like.

Wrong quote. You get the point....maybe. Sent from my DROID RAZR using EO Forums mobile app

Who says it's small thinking? If it's so spectacular, why aren't you doing it? You're assuming that's somewhere in our career trajectory. Maybe I want to live in a trailer and own a gym. Maybe, just maybe, being leased to a carrier, capturing your own freight, letting the carrier handle things...

You also have much higher insurance premiums, your own collection department and waiting to get paid. Sometimes it may be easier to lease to a carrier.

Absolutely perfectly said. While the "spreading the losses" conflicts with Linda's comment earlier (another thread, perhaps?), the asterisk would probably apply to heavily-leveraged fleets. I would not want to be in that spot right now. Save, save, save. Live frugally. Sent from my DROID RAZR...

You say the starter is hot, but is the solenoid hot when the key gets turned to start? Doesn't that solenoid click when the key is turned normally? Has anyone checked every single fuse? There is a fuse that controls the bridge of info between transmission controller and truck ecm that won't...

The info you're looking for on the Rand GPS is under Truck Tools, then Timers/Mileage/Trails/Fuel, then the mileage tab. It breaks down by quarter, then month, then by state/province. The Michigan IRP office would not accept the summary provided by FDCC, as it did not contain a daily odometer...

The Rand Mcnally GPS also tracks mileage by state, including a breakdown by toll and non-toll roads. This is a good tool to use when comparing to your monthly IFTA reporting. FWIW, we also used to use the summary that we asked for from FDCC. However, the kind folks at the Michigan IRP office...

Are you sure it's the springs or bags? Have you looked real closely at front cab mount bushings (isolators)? Sent from my DROID RAZR using EO Forums mobile app
