    FedEx Truck, Bus Crash

    Headline says he worked a long shift. If all he did each day was a 460 mile trailer swap, that's a very easy shift. Seriously, when I was at Roadway, and I got a easy trl swap like that, it almost felt like a day off.. My guess is he drove 230 miles, and got his 30 minute break at Weed...

    You Never Know Who'll Park Next To You

    Expediter Driver Shortage ?

    I had a gorgeous 96x54 shop next to my house on acreage near Valparaiso In. I've toyed with the idea of fleet ownership and could get this property back in three years. The only way I would feel comfortable running a fleet is to have them through my shop every so many miles so that I or a...

    Expediter Driver Shortage ?

    My sister once got into a newly purchased truck that in my opinion needed 8 tires NOW. The fleet owner projected 2 tires a month over 4 months. She offered to buy the tires herself, and get paid back 2 tires per month. And she would gauge the tires weekly. She occasionally gets recruited by...

    Expediter Driver Shortage ?

    It's thinking like that that keeps your turnover so low. Look at all those drivers you'll never meet because you don't turn over your fleet every 12-24 months. :)
