<p>[QUOTE=&quot;miss elvee, post: 4826100, member: 103143&quot;]Our owner wanted us to test the viability of running for FXCC. We&#039;ll be leaving Ground in 2 weeks and heading over to orientation the following week as the guinea pig team. I haven&#039;t seen alot on FXCC on the boards here, so I figured I&#039;d start a thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>We are going to be running in the White Glove division. That is specialized reefer freight. Medicines and things like that. The trailers are high end reefers rentable through FXCC for 6%. Seems high to me... but we&#039;ll see. There is a waiting list on these trailers right now so we&#039;ll probably be pulling dry van until then.</p><p><br /></p><p>They offer 2 pay packages currently -per mile and percentage. We&#039;ve opted for percentage pay and our owner is being very generous with us, topping out the other contractors we&#039;ve talked to. FSC is based on 1.25/gallon at 6.5mpg.</p><p><br /></p><p>To be eligible you need to have 2 years experience, hazmat and tanker endorsements. You need a clean recent record. You also need TVAL cert to run reefer, but they will train and certify you for that.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is one of the few places that will sponsor you for DOD clearance to haul AA&amp;E. </p><p><br /></p><p>Our owner - who is a super guy- is leasing a brand new truck through Penske for us. I have concerns that the mileage in the lease won&#039;t cover a hard running team - but we have a back up plan in place to replace the truck halfway through the year if we need to. As far as I know your truck must be no more than 2 years old at the time of lease. So, this isn&#039;t for everyone.</p><p><br /></p><p>Our job is to go over there, figure out if the company is profitable, and if so, come up with best practices and a training program for our company drivers to follow. If everything works out, hubby and I will split up and begin training drivers in April.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the meantime we are busy wrapping things up here and I will be taking a weekend to go see my father. He&#039;s been ill a long time and here lately seems like he&#039;s going downhill.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll keep everyone posted as we figure out more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Miss E[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
