RE: FedEx Representatives Address Open Forum Topic Thank you for the answers ATeam. As I stated early in this thread I did not see anything wrong with the site linked to as far as a personal thing if other members were allowed to do the same- I just didn;t see any other members with those types...

RE: FedEx Representatives Address Open Forum Topic ATeam, I have not ran you in to the ground or attacked your motives. I have admittingly questioned your postings, that is not an attack, and any self respecting person should welcome questions, not be offended by them. Phil, I have looked...

RE: FedEx Representatives Address Open Forum Topic As this amazingly surpassed the 15 minute deletion I expected, how about taking the latter part of this topic, adressing open forum topics, and talking about fairness among forum members as hinted in my last paragraph. Such as one can be a...

RE: FedEx Representatives Address Open Forum Topic I'll confirm the timing on that takever/transition. ATeam, your being an editor on this site and looking to use the forum as a source of information for your topics, don't you think it is a little uncool to come back and cut down the very...

The other benefit is after you do the lease buyout, you can depreciate the truck on your taxes for it's market value. Mudflap

RE: FedEx Representatives Address Open Forum Topic Very interesting interview to read. The question I always had with my FedEx time is if they are so proud of Custom Critical as part of the FedEx family, why are CC contractors not treated to the same perks as contractors at the other FedEx...

I just counted the number of windshield washer jets my truck has, and it has more than any of yours. :7 Mudflap

>Me thinks he's a little miffed cause the thread was taken >off topic. I've only read a couple that actually answered >the original question. > >-Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!! I'm not sure exactly what the question was? The topic was gambling, it is a sensitive non-trucking topic, and...

Broom, from reading on another thread you sound like you are going through a tough time with something. You might want to take some time off of the road and relax a little bit, I see some combat fatigue setting in. Mudflap

Well, my trucking goals were to support my family with a nice home for all of us and to maybe have a little change in the pocket for retirement or for when some special wants and needs for the family or myself were desired. I also desired to have a career I enjoyed. I worked hard and did what...

What this says to me in laymans terms is that since the USA has sent so much production to Mexico, that it would be only fair for the borders to be opened up to logistics between the countries. I truly can't argue with that logic. Greed-Greed-Greed. It is why it was sent there. Sure, the UAW...

Excellent reply! If one does not like something, it is their choice to not partake in it. It is up to parents to teach their children morals, not the government. For instance I do not like guns or hunting. Never have, never will. But I understand the beliefs of those who do, and their...

Sure it is a business, just about everything public related is. As one's truck operation is a business, so are churches. Nobody forces you to do anything. Nobody makes you go to the casino, put a cigarette or drink in your mouth, eat bad food, etc. Morals are one's personal beliefs. Should...

It is just like everything in life. If done in moderation with dicipline, going out to the casino for a night can be a lot of fun. I might go 2 or 3 times a year, and bring only $100 cash with me, and with that it is win or lose. And as the odds are, it's mostly lose, but for me it is a fun...

I'm just saying that if everyone thinks that there are no Mexicans who can read, speak English or safely operate a truck in the USA they are sadly mistaken. The trucking companies in Mexico will see to it that their drivers are qualified to come here, and only those drivers will be sent. I'm...

RE: Trick My Straight Truck...Need more Pics at EO What would I call it? I have seen Trick My Truck show. They are not qualified to do a class 8 straight truck frame stretch to proper standards. I have seen them do bolt on stuff and suspension mods and fancy paint, but a frame stretch...

The main thing is that with first Japan, then China and Korea, no matter how you go the freight travels by air or sea. With Mexico that is not the case, it will be by ground as it has been. Better knock off the crap that Mexicans are dumb people who can't do a thing or learn to speak...

Bottom line- absolutely no sympathy from me. Don't get me wrong, I am all about fair pay for a job. But, here I have gone through 30 years of trucking netting about $30-35k a year as an O/O without anything amounting to a raise in pay during that time. Throughout much of that time I did...

I just got another one last week. New couple to expediting buys a very nice looking and running 2000 model D unit with a big sleeper from a "reputable" dealer with 450,000 miles on the odometer for $39,000, every penny they could scrape together. No warranties, but it was "always" serviced at...
