Thats right! Its bingo night at the Flying J in Columbia,SC. You can sit down to dinner in the restaurant and play bingo in the dining room while you eat! If you win you can get free steak dinners, free buffets, a pizza, and more. They are doing this every Saturday beginning at 16:30 hrs...

Thanks for the info HondaKing38. In researching the different brands and models availible to to "Mobile" customer application, we have found one brand particular that we feel we will be purchasing. It has many more features regarding vibration wear and tear from the road, plus a five year...

Dump the reefer! They're a pain in the ***. I'm making more $$$$ with my stepdeck than I ever did with my reefer trailer. Or do like Night told me, pull a company owned 53' dry van. He seemed to be doing better with that than I did with a 48' liftgate equiped reefer!

Your attention please, will all volunteers please step to the front of the line for fitting of your company issued G-string uniform. Please note that we have strategically located the company logo to be sure and catch the eye of the customer! Hey Phil, winter might put a whole new meaning to...

In a previous thread Nightcreacher said "Gary, don't discourage people from FECC". I would never discourage anyone from any carrier as all have their good points. What may fit for one may not fit for someone else when it comes to carriers. As ATeam responded when I posted a thread about...

The smaller engines can run somewhere between 8-12 feet and the largest run 23-25 feet long when they are fully dressed (complete engines).

Since our loads generally are light and no more than 32,000 lbs, weight is not an issue for us. We are already equiped with the extra large fresh water tank so we would have an ample supply of water. The W/D combo would go in the wardrobe compartment in the sink cabinet. We currently use that to...

Have any of the large sleeper owners (or motorhome/RV owners) on this forum had any experience with the RV sized W/D combos? I'm not talking about the stack unit, rather the type that washes and dries in the same bowl. How many pairs of bluejeans, etc can be washed at a time and how much water...

Recently we have seen shirts and jackets with Police, Sheriff, FBI, CSI, Security, etc availible for purchase in truckstops. They have been availible in certains stores for quite some time. Some even closely resemble what would be seen on official law enforcement personnel. Also other items such...

Now theres a real encouraging insight to both carriers! LOL Have we scared off all the Newbies yet?

Steve, where is the discouragement towards FedEx if any in my post? I was only interested in what type equipment and what credentials the original poster would be throwing into the pot. As we all know that can greatly effect ones revenue potentual depending on the carriers needs and customer...

Ok Cheri and Steve, I wasn't ****ed at anyone or any comments made in this thread. In fact I got a chuckle out of the king, queen, and dutchess bit! Just thought I had missed something funny in what I said. The entent of my original thread was not asking for an open debate, but rather to...

Cheri1122 Silly, as in some of the other threads posted on this website. Yet people do find them worthy of a legitimate response. Glad I was able to amuse you! I must have missed something in my thread as I did not see it as "amusing", so enlighten me, please.

You did not specify what type unit you plan to drive. Are you planning to go into a C, CR, D, DR, E, or ER unit? You may find some differences as we did when we switched from a DR-unit to a tractor trailer. Credentials and choice of equipment will impact the amount of revenue you can earn...

To clarify, I did not say that these drivers were FDCC, nor will I mention the name of their carrier as I'm sure the carrier sees things differently than they do. I will say that they most likely are new to the expedite industry and have yet to learn that expediting covers a much broader...

Recently I had the pleasure of having the drivers of a "D" sized unit tell me that since I am no longer leased to FDCC I'm no longer considered an "Expediter". Futhermore, I was told that if my carrier was not listed on EO's website then they are not in the expedite business. I won't mention...

Now you really know theres a parking problem at the ol truckstop when a Stoops Special FDCC DR-unit has been riding around the lot for the past ten or fifteen minutes and appearantly can't find a parking space!LOL

We left a perfectly good parking space at Donna's T/P in Marysville,WA Sunday morning to relocate to the TA in North Bend,WA. We needed to do laundry and since Donna's had none we knew we could count on TA, afterall we've done laundry there back when it was the Seattle East T/P and even after TA...

Glad I left the Fed when I did! Much better at the new carrier in my opinion.

You are correct Phil in that it will affect everyone including us with our current carrier. I'm not sure how much our carrier will hold an owner to being able to service the Ca customers such as LAX. In fact, we are in Ontario,Ca now waiting to pick up at LAX. Time will tell if this does go into...
