Nana: I've been using travel agents' services for business and personal travel since the early 70's. My latest use was last month on a trip to Germany when the agent's package saved me no money over prices I could have gotten on my own. The value I have received was 'service' and 'advice'...

Nana: As an expediter, you'd know the entertainment budgets of your fellow expediters are pretty slim. We could be interested in showing some interest in participating in an event if we knew what event you had in mind. We could also get some friends together and buy some travel tickets from any...

Your sub-standard offer might be another driver's good load. If you are on the QC you may give a reason for declining the load the same way we now refuse with macro message #12. Put a comment in the 'reasons' field and say "I need $50 more," or "I need $xxx.xx per mile." If no other driver...

Changing delivery times from straight through, to next day, or even later, have long been a point of contention among Roberts Express and then FedEx Custom Critical (FCC) drivers. Understanding the reason behind these changes has helped us maintain our sanity and lower the level of frustration...

Typically, FedEx Custom Critical requires vehicles to be no more than five years old before leasing them on. Once in, however, tractors are often kept on the lease for 10 or more years if they have a good track record. If your '99 is relatively low mileage and is serviceable, you should call...
