    Canada Michigan & Canada loads, New Policy ???

    The best company out there is the company you work for and makes you money! A little jabbing is fun but sure goes down hill fast once that line is crossed.

    The FedEx Custom Critical pamplet is an average income for two years. Personally I feel that we will never be just an average income earning truck. You have to know what your expenses are and from there you have to decide how hard you need to run and how long you need to stay out. That is a...

    Storage Ideas

    No matter how big your sleeper and side boxes are you never have enough room! We have taken out our upper bunk in our M2 and have just put in new cabinets to match the upper cabinets. I was wondering what everyone else has done to organize and create more space? Another driver told me about...

    Dieting in the truck

    India, I hope we can get participation and help with the modified WW plan. We have tried the Atkins and it didn't take to long to figure out that was to restrictive for the truck or else we just didn't work it right. I have been reading a lot on Weight Watchers and it appears to be a healthy...

    tri-state rate per mile

    With FedEx we can refuse as many loads as we want and still keep our current position in line. The only way our current position is changed is if a less then 75 comes into the area and they will be put at the top of the list.
