Leo when you receive this text message would you need to call in to accept or decline the load? I think the message would need to include additional stops and I like the idea that there could be a couple of short notes included. Great idea and I would like to see this done on all loads for...

Very fun to read! Great job.

Look and see what you have in the area for a Detroit Diesel shop.

Phil I think I mentioned how it would benefit us in my post. I like to know what our refusals are and why as I can see if we are creating a trend of the loads we refuse beside just low pay. It is information for our own use as I like to know if the long dead head to pickup is often the cause...

Name: Bob Linda Caffee Carrier: FedEx Custom Critical Unit Size: D Straight Truck 1. Be prepared before the recession with no debt 2. Watch your spending on luxury items 3. Check and recheck your numbers and figure out how low can you go per mile to stay profitable

I keep thinking about how this would benefit us. If we were able to get an email message on every load opp that was sent to the truck we would then be able to keep a record of our refusals. Since we can no longer keep track of our refusals on the FCC extra net we are going to start doing this...

I like that now you can hear the pickup and delivery city spelled out. I am still debating the email thought. I would much rather be on QC so we can see all the detail but when we cannot you can get a lot of information from the phone call. Going to have to ponder on this more layoutshooter...

That is interesting piper1 changes your cost of business from ours a great deal. Thanks for the insite on that as I had just not paid much attention to what you guys were having to pay for fuel in Canada.

Wow louixo you have hit on something we have been spending a lot of time discussing in our truck also do we stay straight truck with our next purchase or do we move back into a semi? One thing we know for sure is we like expediting, we like who we are leased to, and we like the trucking...

There are two software systems running at this time. The new systems is pretty awesome to watch as it appears to be more web based while the old system looked more like the old AS400 screens black based with very little color. Slowly all of different divisions with FCC are moving to the new...

Hey Joe you and Robin are going to be missed. We wish you luck in your next adventures.

That is a lot on repairs but it sure could have been a lot worse for you and for her. Hope you can get it fixed quick and be back in the groove.

I am not looking forward to the higher prices and they are slowly but surely creeping up.

When you do the math higher fuel costs with a higher FSC make you money. The better your fuel mileage is on a high fuel surcharge the lower your fuel costs which goes directly to your bottom line. piper1 do you get a different rate for a fsc in Canada?

You have only know about tracking pro numbers for two years that has been going on forever. When we were at the office for training we asked about the numbers the loads that start with 2 are on the old system the numbers that start with 5 are on the new system. One day maybe they will all...

I have found some amazing things around truck stops since I started really pushing myself to walk more! I prefer not to walk around the truck stop if I can so I just start walking and looking for sidewalks or even a good enough shoulder to walk on. There have been several housing developments...

Turtle there are many companies that have the same discount and have had it much longer then FCC has. The point was to get the word out to more FCC trucks that the discount is new to us and we need to take advantage of it. The threads were FCC is telling all WG trucks get the ECM changed is...

Sounds good! I like to make a few cracker sandwiches! When driving I get a few Carr Table Crackers and a few slices of low fat cheese for breakfast. When we are parked I am addicted to oatmeal and berries. I make a small amount of oatmeal in the microwave add some blueberries and any other...

Some items are company specific such as fuel discounts and company specific spread sheets as they are geared to running for how one company sends out loads. I know with my spread sheets they would make no sense if the load offer did not come to the truck like ours do. Our fuel discounts and...

Sounds like your Rig Master alternator is not charging. When you start the truck it recharges the battery on the Rig Master.
