    I guess it must be using all their hours to the companies advantage. To use all the time up, they must have them really on long miles between point A-to B, a person would have to know their start to finish in order to figure this out.

    Yea we have had doubles fly past us, fog, snow, didn't matter. Figured they'd meet their make one day, as long as they didn't take out innocent people with them.


    Husband did make a comment the other day that some of the the FED X trucks seemed to be going slower, maybe they are getting scared.

    Fed-Ex day cabs don't have a way of adjusting their speed, they only have a toggle switch. 64 mph or stop. Nothing in between.

    not miles, work......dock work. You run 200 miles or so, go to the dock and work as long as you can and still make the trip back
