FedEx Custom Critical typically pays a van 58% of $5.00 every 15 minutes after the first two hours of detention

I couldn't agree more with my fellow moderators. If all things are as you represented, you are destined to failure with this flim-flam owner. Lose him/her and find yourself a reputable owner with whom to enter into a business arraingement. Terry

SandQ: While you're at it, Look into IPass (1-800-UCI-PASS) if you travel Illinois. It'll save you an hour to travel between Milwaukee and Gary during the rush hour in Chicago. Terry

>the tolls there seem to be outrageous!!!:'( :( Sandqueen, et al Once again, let me promote EZ Pass or those other systems with reciprocity agreement with them. (I use Massachusetts' FastLane) Some recent toll increases were not applied to EZ Pass users. So, the money saved as well as the...

Welcome Back: The problem belongs to the carrier that contracted you to deliver the load. If, through no fault on your part, the freight is not deliverable, consignee refuses to accept, or the consignee has no money to pay a COD shipment, the monkey is placed squarely on the shoulders of the...

Glen and Geo had washer fluid heaters in their trucks. Perhaps they would comment on the desirability of this accessory

Our carrier would say that it's a problem the O/O would have to resolve with the damaging party. My guess is you're out of luck since you left the location.

I gotta add my agreement to Doc and DD comments We all tend to expect our respective carriers to make sure we know how to do our jobs by explaining all aspects of freight hauling so that we have no problems to solve for ourselves. In reality, a carrier should not have to explain anything...

FedEx Custom Critical is HQ in Green, Ohio. The Memphis location is the Corporate HQ. All owner/ operator business is done with the Green office, including orientation. The recruiter should have made this clear to you. As a newcomer, you'd be best served by spending some time talking to many...

FedEx Custom Critical doesn't have a lot of freight out of Haleyville but they get some out of Alabama. Once you leave the state with freight it doesn't really matter where you live becuse we go from city to city til we get tired and deadhead on home. If you are getting good vibes from their...

Prot: If all the planets are in alignment with K-Pax during 2005 and you've done your homework well, you just might be able to equal your Govt net pay. And, your location would make FedEx Custom Critical a good fit. Since you are new here, let me offer a suggestion to which you give serious...

a little off topic but worth repeating here. Free showers are available for a van driver at Flying J. Get a Frequent Fueler card and use it when buying fuel or gasoline. 20.0 gallons earns 1/2 shower and beverage credit. Fuel twice within seven days and earn a shower and a coffee/coke. Have...

Thanx for the valve stem cap info; I just ordered a handful of them

>does anyone have an automatic that rivals or betters the >12.8 mpg? My cab-over Chev 3500 automatic gets 15 mpg...SORRY, I can't help myself:7 :7

Tim: I suspect any of the carriers listed on the right hand side of our home page would be interested in your anticipated size of truck (we call it a D unit) Start with FedEx Custom Critical and work your way down the list until you find a carrier that fits your desires. We assume you already...

JG: One of the nicer things about van operation is the ability to park most anywhere, particularly near toilet facilities. We have never had a porta-pot because of the inconveniences involed outweighing, for us, the conveniences. Pots I've seen have a removable liner with a powder that turns...

NB: Here's an example of one of our vans. We have plenty of space for two skids and ourselves. As far as cooking appliances go, we don't use them 'cause there are too many restaurants avail on the road where you can eat healthy. A TV keeps us up-to-date on weather and news and helps wile...
