I use Verizon. $45 a month gets me 400 peak use minutes, more than enough if ya don't try chattin' trash with the dispatch girls too much. That includes unlimited night and weekend minutes and 1000 minutes free with other Verizon users. Also gets me free long distance - especially nice when you...

Well, I took my B unit back to the owners yesterday and resigned from expediting. I've got 2 regional tractor trailer freight companies that want to hire me and the move is being made this week. I've had an tremendous amount of fun running expedite and I love what I do. Problem is I just don't...

Unless second testing was done within 24 hours or so of notification of the failed test, the results will be meaningless. Most all pharmaceuticals and street drugs have a 24 to 72 hour range of detection in the system through urinalysis. A person who failed a test due to those substances in the...

Well hey - good to know who some of the rest of the team is. Agreed - Barb and Gary are 2 of the finest people you could ever ask to work for. They take good care of their equipment and drivers and deserve to get more back out of this than the current deal at FedEx is giving them. I'm out to...

My truck owner called earlier today and said she is switching her fleet over from FedEx to PantherII. She gave me the option of moving or staying with FedEx. She has 4 B units, and is aware of my plans to make a change in employment soon. Honestly, the need to do something is very obvious, so I...

The problems arise when someone who is not up to highway multi tasking attempts it. There are some sharing our roadways who should not operate a countertop appliance without a chaperone yet they are given carte blanche to do whatever the hell they feel like in a 2 ton SUV. The quicker they...

RE: Is there a >I take you don’t have much of a hankering for dispatchers. Who would? I think we all have had examples of the clash that exist between those who merely talk about the load and those who actually move it. My favorite dispatchers are the night shift rookies who send messages at...

Several times recently I've been laid over in various locations and seen E units be last in and first out. They don't seem to sit idle for too long.

RE%253A FEDEX CC New Dispatch Crap *sigh*

>They won!t give that info out over the phone so you must use the VRU. The one piece of information missing from the VRU options is where you are in the dispatch order. The c-link status info is updated every 3 hours. You could arrive at 1pm for layover with 2 other trucks showing as checked...

>HI, YOU SAID THAT EVANSVILLE ISN'T A LARGE ENOUGH AREA TO >PRODUCE ALOT OF HOT- FREIGHT. At that particular time, that was the situation. Too many trucks in the area, not enough moving to get anybody out. This was not just speculation based on the looks of the place. The judgement call I...

I encountered a situation I thought I'd pass along at Toyota in Evansville, Indiana. I picked up a load bound for there last Friday night, due for delivery at 6:30 local time Monday morning. I arrived and parked at a local Flying J Sunday night. Noticed several other expedite rigs of various...
