FedEx just gave the contractors a 2% raise. The next question is how much have they taken away by contracts on discounted loads?

I was reading the article by Jeff and being reminded the whole time that a FICO score is an I love debt score. It is to bad that in order to have a good credit score you have to be in debt. If you have no debt and stay that way you have a terrible or no FICO score, which usually means you have...

That is exactly why I love my shift of driving starting at 2:00 in the morning. When the sun is first coming up on another wonderful day. In certain parts of the country the scenery is so amazing I just turn off the radio so as not to miss anything, and once again I thank god for such a great job.

Boy Kraig you are a brave person to handle those crowds. I do not like crowds and do not like to shop at all in stores so catalogs where always my perfect solution. Now with internet I do all my shopping on line and avoid the hassle. The longer we are in the truck the more I dislike all of...

I was also having the problems with the swelling but not the leg cramps. I cut out the sweets and started moving my legs more while driving and this totally stopped the swelling.

The truck and us are perfectly safe from our bonging Moose! Some of you have twisted the meaning of the word bonging! The true meaning which is a lot more boring then what you have came up with is: A deep ringing sound, as of a bell. So we are not having nearly as much fun and living in such...

When we get a load I plot the route and where the fuel stations are located. If I want I can easily lookup the fuel costs for a any fuel stop along the route.

One of the hard things for me was not being at home at this time of year to decorate. To Bob's dismay I have started decorating the truck with some help from him. We have crossed candy canes on the grill with a wreath. In the truck I have few stuffed Christmas creatures on the dash. A bonging...

That is what I am wanting to do, combine two overlay maps. I will keep digging around and see what I can find.

I have started playing around with Streets and Trips and customizing some maps. I was given a cover map with all of the Express Centers for FedEx located plus the locations of the Flying J's. I have since added all of the other major fuel stops and then had the brilliant idea of starting...

Coco, I would like the supersize with extra padding! LOL I have to admit when reading the message before seeing the picture I couldnt even imagine it. Wow they are the cutest but in all honesty I am afraid we will be out of touch over the holidays. Thanks so much for thinking of me. ;)

While we are running around near Little Rock we will keep an eye out for you. I know that will be a little bit of a hike for you on a lawnmower but we will still watch for you. Seriously thought our thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife.

Hi Dave! Glad you are here and going to share some of your wisdom with us. You will be great addition to the forums, glad you are not a guest anymore!

This all reminds of going into New Orleans last year where all the signs where gone and the business was set up temporarily else where. Lots of patience required and a good GPS as the cell phone didn't work down there either.

dieselphreak2K Keep us posted on how your trip turns out. You are a lot braver then we (I) would be!

Terry and I have been having fun with this one and we differ on opinions. 1. the number of members of a group or organization required to be present to transact business legally, usually a majority. 2. a particularly chosen group.

Just ask Terry you did not have an agreed upon quorum for any purposes of voting.

Wow India I had no idea we could cause our own red lights. I know of one place we get a red light every time. When we first started we where over weight and had to move the load to get legal. Every since that time two years ago we get a red light at that scale. Thanks for posting your findings.

I would also suggest you call to see what is happening. We very seldom get a red light.

You can also check your figures against the OOIDA spreadsheet for drivers. We have used this spreadsheet since day one and keep it updated with our figures monthly. Takes all the guess work out of accepting loads that will be profitable to you. Everyone of us have a different base operating...
