I was also very disappointed when I saw Progressive was supporting this.

The TSG will be having a call with Deborah Hersman, NTSB Chairman and I will put call information on here. If you would like questions or concerns put them on here and the group will ask them of her. If we sit back and do nothing I have to wonder if this could become a law.

This issue appears to be gaining traction: 10/4/2011 Truckinginfo.com Fleet Group Pushes for Cell Phone Ban for Commercial Drivers NAFA Fleet Management Association is urging the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to move quickly to ban the use of mobile devices by commercial...

Defensive? I asked a simple question why the interest from former FedEx contractors and why they are still interested in this wall. What does Panther and Landstar have for longevity? The question on this wall will be unveiled by FedEx not by me to the contractors.

What I am not understanding is why someone from Landstar and with Panther would care about FedEx Custom Critical's policy about longevity?

Sotm4211 is also right they are repainting and remodeling...

Former contractors should not rely on hearsay about their former company and what purpose is served when one cannot verify their posts on a public forum. Since you are gone and cannot verify your facts you have this one wrong and do not know what is happening in the area of which you speak...

I questioned others more knowledgeable than myself on CSA and this is the reply I received: Warnings concerning a noted violation during a roadside inspection can be challenged through the DataQ process. If a violation of FMCSA regulations is noted and just a warning is shown on the...

My thoughts are if I sign off on a post trip that everything is fine on the truck and there is not any tread on the tires then I falsified the log.

Great job Jim! I was just getting online to post these.

Any of the companies will take a solo and then it is up to you to figure out how to make a living and make the system work for you. It is definitely a pro active system and not a reactive system. Talk to the recruiters from the different companies and compare notes. Ask about rates for loaded...

There are some ideas in the Women's Forum on this growing issue.... It is really a battle as food, sugar, and caffein is used to keep us awake and moving when we get tired. Once this habit starts it is really hard to break. All the same ideas park far away as possible fro buildings, when...

When I first started learning to back a straight truck I drove Bob nuts. When ever I pulled into a truck stop I headed for the back row and picked different parking spots and I backing into them from different angles and different directions. I did this over and over till I felt comfortable...

It looks like you had a pretty good crowd for your first event! Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Gotta Go I hope you have pictures you will post on here! Sounds like fun was had by all.

Mortal Sin? Maybe you are talking about a division in FedEx Custom Critical and not the whole company? We are often several hours early to pickup or to deliver and have had no problems. I can only speak for how we handle a departure call when we leave a shipper. The load is secure and...

That surprised me that most do not have the 15 minute window to get rolling. We do not call in for our departure call until we have the freight secure and we are ready to roll. We still get the fifteen minute window as often we still have to go through security to get back on the road or we...
