    Reefer at FedEx

    Targard: FedEx Custom Critical leases any of its fleet on an as needed basis, so the best person to ask about a C reefer is one of their recruiters. Not all of their reefers are White Glove classified trucks but the White Glove Division has access to, and often uses, any of the appropriately...

    newbies beware...

    AXIS: I think the legal term is unlawful bailment. Unless the person in your example is authorized, by the lease agreement, to withhold the keys for monies or property due, upon termination of the lease agreement, he may be in violation of the law. If he doesn't pay, within the lease...

    Express Way

    We don't seem to have any Express Way contractors who are active EO members. I searched past threads including the archives and came up with zero posts for "expressway" or "express way" Hopefully someone will passby soon with some experienced comments for you.

    RESEARCH--TRUCK STOPS

    I want all of the above. I want a barber shop with a real barber, not just a hair stylist. I want a medical clinic for DOT physicals, random drug/alcohol tests and repair of minor boo-boo's I want real restaurants within walking distance. I want motels nearby. I want the truck stop to have...

    Bluetooth Headsets

    I have or had the Motorola HS810 (I can't find it). it's the last generation of the Motorola 700. It was great when no background noise, such as in the vehicle, but practicaly useless in a vehicle. My next bluetooth earpiece will be the kind where the bud is in the ear canal rather than...

    reefer B units?

    FedEx Custom Critical has at least one Sprinter Reefer truck signed on as a trial project to determine if the market will allow the profitability for all concerned. I saw one of these for sale a couple of years ago and was concerned about the lack of space for a sleeper because the entire box...

    Wood Floor Repair

    Have you mentioned the size of the hole in your floor? You sound like an accomplished wood butcher so you probably know what I'm about to say. Wood screws like those we use on decks or all purpose screws have little shear strength; they aren't designed to hold the weight of a towmotor. I'd...

    Starting up

    Welcome to EO: You and your dry van could handily gross $100K as a solo expediter as many typical tractor drivers do so. Many expediters run solo but there is about 2/3 more money available to the team over the solo operator. Solo van operators are plentiful in this business and it's...

    Malfunctions - Breakdowns - Flat Tires

    My first renewal attempt at the local AAA office they told me no commercial, so I did not renew. After ignoring a couple of renewal offers in the mail, an agent called with the usual telemarking pitch and when informed why I wasn't renewing the agent said I was misinformed. I've been a...

    Malfunctions - Breakdowns - Flat Tires

    Perhaps not for straight trucks, but AAA does provide roadside assitance to commercial vans; I've used them many times. I have had AAA employees tell me they don't insure commercial vehicles, but that is not the corporate position. Terry

    Repair work on a Sprinter, I need feedback

    Sorry to read of your $9K surprise. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Did you perform all of the manufactuer's recommended maintenence on schedule? How long did your oil leak go unattended? Could an earlier repair have mitigated some of the damage or repair expense? I ask these questions...

    driving at night in the rain

    I'll make it 2 for and 3 against. I'm a Rain-X fan, and have been for years. If applied regularly, I believe this surface tension modifier is an excellent product at highway speeds and a fail suplement to the wiper at slow city driving. In the summer it allows easy removal of the bugs we all...
