As we get new customers they will not come with local directions. The new QC loads these into the GPS under dispatch and then MOST of the time gives you the route to the customer. As always a GPS is an aid and the route in not written in stone. Use every tool you have at your disposal to...

You have a good point there Moose!

I think it is becoming an epidemic with people not being able to read the sign "merge" onto highway. When coming through Phoenix this morning more then one person had to figure out either speed up or slow down as I was holding my own and I could not move over. Jeannie I have to say the guy is...

You can slant information anyway you want here is this on how well FedEx is doing with customer satisfaction: FedEx Ranks Number One in Customer Satisfaction Among Express Delivery Companies For 13th Consecutive Year FedEx Also Ranks Tops Among Transportation, Accommodation and Food Service...

I like the fact we can get our of almost any part of the country with FCC. There are times when it seems as if every truck that is leased to FCC is in a certain part of the country, but that can be hit and miss. I like that when we accept a load for a certain pay the only change we will ever...

We run 120 psi in the wide base singles and 100 in the XZA3 front tires.

I believe I mentioned we were looking for Bob a computer! Guess what he has an IPAD and his own screen name now but he not as addicted to this as I am yet but who knows in the future...

Exactly! Which is why we wanted Michelin wide base singles back on this truck. The stability of our past tires were great. Will the stability be just as good on these new lower rolling resistant tires be as good? Who knows but from our past experience with our tires we are willing to give it...

He was hoping they would get to 550,000 or to 600,000. We had the tires turned on the rims as we were getting some odd wear on the inside. When one of the tires was remounted the tire shop broke the bead and in a short period of time the tire was ruined.

We run the Michelin Wide Base singles and after 380,000 miles we developed a bubble on the sidewall. We were in upper Minnesota and were lucky enough that we had several hours before we had to pick up our load. We called around to the local dealers and finally found a dealer that had one...

Thanks Greg for the link. While this program will not make us more money it could make us safer on the road and also more observant of what is going on around us.

What is your flat rate per mile Dave that Panther offers your trucks that are not in Elite? What I am trying to say is while it is fair to say there are low offers there are also great load offers that are above the normal for the flat rate companies. Logic again would say they are...

We applied to be in Highway Watch as it was phasing out so I do not know what the differences are. I like that First Observer is being pushed by OOIDA and supported by OOIDA. We plan to attend as we feel it is important.

We all talk about these low rates on load offers that when no FCC truck takes the load they are offered out to outside carriers. We all like to talk about the poor load offers how about lets talk about the great load offers we get even with a 500 mile dead head on them? Do you guys really...

Dave what in the world are you talking about? I do not know anything about bid wars? Pitting drivers against drivers? The system is no different then it was before. More drivers see the load at the same time but the dwell time is the main issue on who gets the load. We also can refuse 20...

Hey Leo I think he is almost as cute as you! Congratulations on your new grandson.
