We submitted our termination notice to FDCC today, effective 7/9. We've been with the company for over 7.5 years, but have finally arrived at the point where we feel it is in our best interest to move on. Kathy in Contractor Relations did seem genuinely interested in why we were leaving, and...

Just got to wondering if, as the rebranding process goes forward, the dispatch system will rate "brand standard" trucks higher than "non-brand standard" trucks. In other words, all things being equal, will the truck next to mine be dispatched in preference to me just because he has a white cab...
