RichM I know the feeling very well. I always give 110% but as you said I also feel betrayed. I have never worked where I was a number before this is the first time,and Iv'e worked for big company's. I always knew my dispatchers,and my boss. When I had a problem I spoke to someone face to face...

DJONES: Put up a Post "DRIVERS NEEDED" tell what you are going to pay and what year the trucks are and whats in them. Don't forget to put any phone #'s you can be reached at. Good Luck Iris

Casey11, I felt the same way a month ago, Thank God things are picking up. Do you drive single or team? That makes a big difference. Listen to Rich, Lawrence, and Wendy they won't lie to you. The truth is I made 3 times more money last year then this year, but everyone I spoke to from other...

That Qual Com is so screwey one time I was in traffic and told them I was getting off the Interstate ang going thrugh the streets to P/U. I was 4 blocks from P/U in Philly and the Qual Com had me in MI. Explain that. Another time they had me going in the wrong direction and I was just pulling...

Well if I would have been offered that load I would have taken it. I'm a "D" unit and operate at .80 a mile. Better then sitting. I may not be getting the big bucks for that run but I'm still making a profit. Iris

I'm really sorry to hear this doe.mouse,we were having a hard time as I'm sure others were, Thank God things are getting a little better,not much but a little better. DJONES3788, maybe if you post asking for good drivers,what you'll pay, and truck has you might get drivers out there. I've met...

All said and done as long as we all vote we can say what we want. Just two more days and we'll know who will be our next President.If Ross Perot were running I'd be voting for him again. To me this man would have greatly helped our country. He is a true American, not a politician like Gore and...

What am I doing wrong. I went to Live Chat and got a blank screen just the banner on top a big box with a tiny icon in the top left corner. That was it not like it usually is. Iris

Great job Lawrence, I think the VP candidates are a better choice for President too, but I don't want Gore in office so I have to go for Bush.:-( Has anyone gotten there absentee ballots yet? Good thing I'm home, I'm calling in the morning. I havn't gotten mine yet. Iris

RichM, WendyCal just told you "The Practice" is on at that time. I'm home too. Trying to get my truck serviced and a few things done to it. I have a an appointment for Tuesday hope they can do it all in one day. Last weekend I spoke to dispatch about "UrgentFreight" and they said they knew...

Hi,my husband and I stay out at least 6 weeks at a time unless we are close to home(which isn't very often). We don't go out of service unless we know we have to get the truck worked on and cannot take a load. Right now we're home unautherized, but we'll bubble up. I have to call and see if they...

I understand we have the right to trip lease but what about insuranse and permits for the trip lease. FedEx won't cover it. How do I do that? Iris

I have spoken to several other Expediters like Panther, and Conway that have told me they are hauling a lot of FEDEX freight. Do you think this may have something to do with it? I got two loads since last Sunday,and the last one was 128 miles. Bad real Bad. Iris

That is a great article, I think every Expediter should read it. :7 Iris

There are so many which one. Iris

RichM Have you ever thought of doing a list of express centers? I'm sure it would help a lot of FEDEX drivers out there, even me. Starting with the best of each state to the worst, or you can e-mail me one. "Mobile,AL" the worst in the country. Iris

LittleBigTruck I know what you mean. We're going to stick it out till the end of the year and see how things work out. I just hope we don't lose our shirts waiting. Thanks for the comeback. Iris

I stay out for about 6 weeks at a time if freight is moving we stay out longer. I went home after 4 weeks only because it was costing us more to stay out then be on the road. We're not afraid to work and stay out if we're making money. I've been trucking for over 20 yrs and my husband for over...

I'm seriously thinking of leaving FEDEX and going to Landstar. I'm not making any money at FEDEX. I made more working for someone else then I'm making now as an O/O. We just don't get any runs. I only refuse runs that pay less then .80. I'm running a D unit and can't run for less. All they offer...

That's great, now I can talk to someone. Wendy I just sent you a reply to your e-mail. Thanks again. Iris
