Well I need to remember next time I see a competitor while wearing the FedEx Apparel I am to be very grim, march, and ignore all drivers! OVM gosh I cannot wait to run into you again it is just going to be very ugly! I am really going to growl at you. Each company has their own grouches...

Heck one day we had a flatbed lock on our D unit!

I tend to put FedEx policy threads in the FedEx forum so the information that needs to be shared is not diluted by posters who are not with FedEx. As long as the thread is in the FedEx forum new people reading that thread will know that only contractors with FedEx are posting. When there is a...

We work very hard to keep a good attitude and if we do not like the way something is run we try to change the problem at the source not just complain about it. We get involved if we do not like something and that has really led us to some interesting places. Once we have moved on from a...

This was given to me from Henry Albert who wears a tie everyday as a truck driver to promote an image. He has his own authority so his customers are his business. He has carried this bulletin with him for 18 years as a reminder of who he is and what image he wants to portray. KNIGHTS OF THE...

I really like that idea as I just cannot get my head around the thoughts of looking at the dash instead of to the right and left.

Dave can you clarify your comment?

Wow in 15 years as an expediter you post on EO 4 times and all are negative. That is a long time to dislike your business.

Just found this article on the Freightliner innovation truck. We saw the truck at MATS and were awed by all of the cool gadgets on this truck. We were impressed by the fact the truck had no mirrors and relied on cameras. We talked to Henry Albert who was able to test the truck and were given...

We do not do favors for anyone that cannot return the favor. When you finish that favor load and call in to the same dispatcher who asked you to take the favor load you will be hung out to dry. FCC is trying very hard to put a stop to this very situation. We are not out here to do favors we...

Great reminder India. We spent a lot of time at the Wal-Mart store moving each fan away from the other fans to see how they each felt. We did not end up buying the fan that was our first pick. The difference a fan can make in the truck is unbelievable. Even with our Fantastic Vent we still...

Glad you are recovering and will be back driving with us soon.

Flatbed is the key word in the post. Steve has some awesome qualifications in the fact he is flatbed qualified and also has his clearances.

No one advanced over Bob and I as we have a dog and had a dog when we signed on with FedEx Custom Critical and we still thought they were and still think they are the best company for us. I also agree it is hurting the company image but it is a company policy and as of now it stays the way...

I agree with you and we have had many discussions with the company on the WG policy but the policy still stands. To us there are so many other benefits being leased to FCC that this is a minor irritant or as Leo has said often this is one of FCC warts.

A driver who takes advantage of the system is not in the wrong it is the system that is wrong. Outside looking in I think the fleet trucks are probably more dependable then the O/O with one truck. What I mean by that is not often do the fleets pull their trucks and move to another company...

The truck is in White Glove not the drivers in a sense. So if the drivers go out and buy their own truck that is not all ready in WG they have to get in line. There are so many trucks in WG and the WG division is full. There are some instances where this is not true but for the general rule...

It is not just ES that gets this treatment it is any approved WG truck. The truck is what seems to count not the drivers. There are many WG fleet trucks that lose a driver pick up a brand new team that have no experience or like some have came from another company with experience and they go...

Leo I agree with you John was an awesome guy and a hoot to talk to. Even when he was getting very sick he coulud make you laugh. We were all lucky to have him involved with the forums. He is missed by many.
