A vent in the back will help but you won't need it if you've got the bulkhead 'tween you and the cargo area. Don't put the wall too far back if it's permanently afixed. You shoud save at least 8.5 feet of floor space to the door so you can handle two 48"x48" standard skids.

Capt I bought mine at an R/V place on east side of Columbus, I-70 x109? about the first exit east of the circle. Here's a link to the nearest to you: http://www.fantasticvent.com/ Terry

Insulation will give you the best service for keeping out the heat or cold. Lot's of folks have a foam insulation sprayed on but I think it looks nasty unless covered. I use the pink stuff, found at Home Depot or Lowes, behind a sheet of 1/8" luan plywood (commonly called door skins). I...

FedEx Custom Critical had, or still has, at least one flat bed O/O in the Atlanta area who keeps it busy. I don't know if they are interested in any more of them but it never hurts to ask.

Don't forget the shot record card from the veterinarian. Canadian Customs challenged us and our Bulgarian Weasel Hound because we had the rabies tag but not the papers. We were in a bind and they eventually let us in. Not sure how the U.S. Customs would react if you couldn't prove dog...

Leo, That's true. That's why you need the CDL; Combination Driver Lumper

elton10: Perhaps a lay position might help you get a better picture of the Whith Glove vs Surface Expedite fleet at Fedex Custom Critical. In essence, you are rewarded by White Glove Division for the investment of time, effort and money that the surface expedite folks do not provide. To be...

If no one will go first there won't be enough EO band width to handle the volume.

>Hello. I wolud like to get into expediting, but I don't know >too much about what I need ADS: You are going to need several things and EO is a great place to start. Knowledge Read the last couple of months of postings on this site and you'll get a good feel for what expediting is. Search...

Don't know, but... there's a couple from CT that drove for FedEx Custom Critical that have an aft bumper mounted generator and a forward bumper mounted tool box. The window in a rear door was removed and replaced by a window mounted A/C. Atop the roof was a huge R/V style satelite tracking...

This one I gotta save for when I'm as old as Louixo and reach retirement age.

RMDIESEL: Your advice to have both parties sign off on the condition of the truck as determined by an impartial third party is important and would resolve a lot of owner - driver disputes. I trust that all of the owners and the drivers considering expediting heed your advice. Your para 4...

Apollo: Most expedited freight is no-touch freight, loaded by shipper and unloaded by the consignee, so I don't think we are included in the back injury statistics. The carriers with specialized divisions such as PantherII and FedEx Custom Critical's White Glove Division pay a premium for the...

As far as FedEx in general, I am wondering if I should check with them for a owner/operator opportunity with a cargo van. Miko: You'll find that not all companies are good for any one person and not all people are good for any single company. Rene' and I have been with FedEx Custom Critical...

I had a lengthy talk with a FedEx Ground Home Delivery O/O last week. He delivered 5 pkgs to my house and received $1.25 for the stop and $.27 for each package. He'd been with the company since the beginning, about six years and was happt withthe deal. I was surprised to learn of the payout...

CandyKane: Raceman was refering to the manner in which you maintain the home in which you live, not the neighborhood. Would you not agree that, regardless of the condition of your neighborhood, if you saw a well kept home and clean vehicle you might use this observation to determine how the...
