Heading to Ft Worth tomorrow hopefully will not be there too long.

Where does that $.03 per mile come from? I have a few ideas... like off the backs of the rest of the fedex fleet. So fedex pays a 3 cent premium to E.S. & gives E.S. access to data that no one else can get so that E.S. trucks can make better business decisions/plans? E.S. also charges a...

Speaking as a (rather small) fleet owner, why would I ever want cheaper freight when I have to split the load pay, give up the fuel surcharge & toll money, then maintain the truck, make payments for the truck, pay qualcomm, pay datalogger, pay insurance, have $$ set aside for repairs, have $$...

Your assumptions about those who wish everyone had the right to choose life are just that... assumptions. In our case, we knew for foe close to 2 months that our daughter would never live long outside the womb. In fact, we knew that the longer the pregnancy went, the greater the danger was for...

Dale, I confess that this topic is very emotional for me as well. We had 2 miscarriages and one child who lived only 1 hour. Through those trying times we came to know many mothers (and dads too) that still feel tremendous loss and pain... odd that just an accidental blob of tissue could...

Truckingsurv, Congrats! Glad to hear you picked something up. I was just telling someone about you a earlier today. Good luck & stay in touch.

What about fleet owners? A single truck operation is a lot better able to absorb a few lower paying loads when it meets their business needs. But FDC has encouraged us to bring on more trucks... I can tell you that after the split, we absolutely can not stay in business at $1.20 per mile much...

A special message received just now from Jason Frederick: I also wanted to let you know that we have added acceptance rate to the criteria we use when ranking trucks for loads. This means that, the higher your overall acceptance rate, the more “points” you receive in our ranking system when...

Seriously, I was very glad to see some codified attire requirements. It is embarrassing to me to think that shippers might associate me with other FedEx drivers that see nothing wrong with going onto a loading dock in flip-flops, gym shorts or other unsafe or unprofessional attire.

We just sent our new lease agreements in. No one forced us to sign either. Although I do not like or appreciate these numerous changes sent without warning or input... that is just how it is. Either you accept the new contract or you decide to go elsewhere. To be honest, I was more...

I get asked for local directions ALL the time... Even in Canada :confused::eek::rolleyes: Sent from my SCH-S720C using EO Forums mobile app

If a fleet owner cares about the people who are driving for her/him... should not we also be concerned about how "one bad apple spoils the whole bunch"? In other words, making the wrong choice when contracting drivers can & quite possibly WILL adversely affect my other drivers. If I care about...

This would be nice. Especially because of the "__fill in the blank__" lawyers! 2 points here: 1) a private message is just that... PRIVATE, between 2 people checking out references 2) There seems to no shortage of drivers spreading the word of warning about companies & fleet owners.... seems...

Very important to get a contract. It protects both the owner & the driver. A contract will also set expectations for both parties. There are still a few owners out there who do not have contracts or... never seem to get them to you. Beware! stay far from anyone who is not willing to put it...
