That is how we see it the less then 75 if still good as long as the load pays well enough. What is happening now though is we are being offered load opps and expecting to get them as we have in the past. Now though the load can be offered to two or more less then 75 trucks in different express...

Since we are at the company being discussed and have seen the averages earned for the last two years go with the average that FedEx Custom Critical puts out in their brochure. I though would use those figures for a base line.

I think everyone in the trucking world is predicting a slow 2009. Need to have your ducks in a row before jumping in.

Today we fueled at the TA on the west side of Saint Louis and paid $1.90 a gallon. I never thought we would see the day we would pay less then $2.00 a gallon. Good fuel mileage + good discounts + good fsc Make you SMILE

This thread should help you: http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/30159-truck-friendly-gps.html Not very good reviews on that system.

FedEx Custom Critical has a brochure that shows an average of each truck size income for the past two years. The brochure is income for both solo and team. When we decided to go with FedEx Custom Critical we used that as our base and our goal has always been to exceed the average income...

The above are correct one week will tell you nothing everything we do is figured on a month of income and then a quarter and then yearly. The FedEx recruiter will get you the best reply. I am sure none of us consider ourselves "average" on here!! There are just too many variables on income...

Nothing has changed with the less than 75 from before load opps and now with the load opps. The less than 75 are still desirable as you will still be one of the first trucks offered the load and have first choice at it. The less than 75 truck status can be offered a load within 300 miles...

We have used the Power Service for years and really like the product. We also only buy at the Wal-Mart due to price of the product. Bob bought a measuring cup at a motorcycle shop so he could accurately add the correct ounces. He added about ½ ounce per gallon. We mainly used the Power...

Not if you are the one to sign the exclusive use contract and stay when it is no longer profitable to do so. You make the decisions in your life and you always have the ability to move on when needed and the company always has the ability to leave you behind when you are not needed. We are not...

I like the idea that you give your truck number as that verifies who you are if anyone would want to check or even take the time to thank you if they just find the cane! Really great way to say Merry Christmas.

We call in after 24 hours and no load offers if on a week day and if on the weekend we wait till Monday to call. We will also make the decision to move on our own if we think it will benefit us much better in the long run this just sitting.

Log onto the FedEx Custom Critical extranet and go to Doing Business on the left hand side of your screen, then click on Order/Print forms & Supplies then click on customer handouts and the magnets will be sent to the house. When we are at the truck shows we will ask for a few extra pens, hats...

Why should each truck call one customer? If the company can get the address correct then the problem is solved and no need to keep bugging the customer.

I like the three way calls as then FCC is involved and they hear what the customer tells us. In the long run I think this works better as the next truck going into this location will have the correct directions and not need to call at all.

Pelicn we must have bought our chains in a different place then you bought yours! Ours say open as needed and if the month is December think of Christmas and the jingling noise a harness and bells make on a horse or reindeer pulling a sleigh through the snow. If you are not the one driving...

Heck Steve we have dead headed several hundred miles for a load less then a hundred miles and made great money. Just depends on what the load is, how much special handling it requires on how well it pays.

Our customer is FCC and it is their job to get us into their customer so nope we do not need to call a FCC customer. If though they cannot get us good directions we will do a three way call with the customer and get better directions and hopefully FCC will update their data base. If we are the...

Well heck Phil is that not how you chain? It is always dry and in daylight you put on your chains then you drive into the bad weather! How I wish...

We have sat with dispatch a few times and some of those calls the dispatcher gets just amaze me. Sitting with dispatchers listening to some of the stuff they are told also amazes me and I wonder at the gall people have. We each have a job to do and I do not really care what problems the...
