OVM I am so sorry to hear of this. Please accept our condolences and extend them to your family.

We are in a dry box at FCC but most of our friends have a reefer most are WG and a couple are just in Express. I am constantly amazed at the load offers they receive for the reefer. I can only speak for FCC but to have a reefer over here is one of the best ways to go. Compare settlement...

Most of the companies when you ask about fleet owners will give you plenty of names to contact. Try to talk to other drivers for this fleet owner. Most though you are going to find do not want a solo driver they are looking for teams. Keep trying the different companies though as some of the...

Talk to your CC and have them put you in contact with several T/T reefer trucjs that have a lift gate. Steve pulls a company trailer. I have heard it different ways on if the lift gate is worth it or not. I would really suggest talking to more than one person as I have heard a lot of mixed...

You just spent all the money to go to T/T school I would put it to good use and not lose that experience. If your wife can stay at home for bit while you train and get experience most often the husband can train the wife then. You can make good money in Expediting also driving a T/T and...

Ya Jeanie I had to admit I was laughing over your shy ways! When we used to have terminals there was always tables to trade and leave books. You know anyone going to MATS should plan on bringing books to trade. Since we have started using the IPOD and the E Reader I do not carry so many...

Well I am going out on a limb here but I was thinking since the first of the month would mean Jan 1st of 2009. That is what my thoughts are based on.

How many loads did you turn down for the month? We are a little better of then that but boy oh boy have we turned down some cheap loads this month. One load offered was a C rate and just the run pay was less then the .85 the vans are getting. You can imagine by the time dh was added to...

Our hinges are welded so the only way to remove our doors is to cut them off and a little bit of tape is not going to do anything if someone wants to cut our doors off. I think the stainless is a great idea and if more shippers go to this policy it sounds like a good solution. The situation...

Oh no we were loaded and ready to do paperwork before we found this little item out. We then were unloaded. We were to worried about them defacing the truck and not being able to clean it off. With all of these suggestions though I think we might have been all right. What a surprise...

aileron, How is going for you? I have talked to few vans and they say they are running about the same as before. I imagine it will take a bit for the new rate to take affect with the customers. I have not heard of any one running a less then 75 have you been offered one?

Good to know thanks you guys. I have spray and wash and I have goo gone just do not want to ruin paint on truck. It is kind of silly to put security tape on a truck that has it hinge bolts welded anyway. They want to use security tape and also a seal. Lots of over kill. But next time we...

We need to know if anyone has an idea on how to remove security tape residue? We just refused a load due to this tape and not wanting to deface the box on the truck. If we can find a safe way to remove this residue we will not have to go through this mess again. Any ideas?

There will be less to see in the parking lot this year as I imagine many will move inside. This has to be a huge blow to MATS. I wonder how this as well as the slow economy will affect the show attendance. The bands never interested us as the wrong kind of music.

FedEx Custom Critical does not have a maintenance plan or anyway you can set back money for repairs or any other business expenses. FCC is not a bank or a savings account. They have your escrow account and that is to cover freight damage or if you or they terminate your lease to cover anything...

She is also our CC so you know what I am saying when those two are together it should be a riot! They are both a lot of fun.

If you are anywhere near Memphis this week look him up! He and Tonya who is a CC will be in the area. They will be at the Petro on the 20th from 12:00 to 4:00 for a meet and greet. Should be fun as they are both characters and fun to be around.

Well as aweful as it sounds we could just go into all the scales. Just think of all the fuel wasted by slowing down and then having to speed up once again to get out of the scales! We have not seen the letter yet either on how PrePass is changing and the new rates. Cannot make a decison...

I am sure they will let us know by the weekly email and a letter to the house about when the change will happen. This change was initiated by PrePass and not FCC. It should not be a big deal to change over but it does sound as if the OOIDA discount will get us the best rates now.

I hope your friend before he sells all of his toys talks to other T/T solo drivers. I have never heard of a maintenance program at FedEx Custom Critical. It sounds like he is either being told a bunch of malarkey or he is telling you a bunch of malarkey.
