FXG blows my doors off every single night. R&L sleeper units scoot on down the road at a pretty quick pace too!
what's going on with fedex freight?

LOL! I don't know about the rest of the ltl guys but I have been working so hard lately that the only time off I get is a reset! Yes I get to go home but it doesn't feel like very long. Or I am sleeping in a hotel. Yes it is better than sleeping in a truck stop but I have less time to do things than when I ran dedicated OTR. The only difference for me is I don't sleep in a truck stop and I make a bunch more money. I work really hard for that money though! I am bored stiff of running up and down the I-5. Don't know how much longer I can last on that useless highway. Also I still have to hit truck stops and rest areas to use the bathroom. I miss the open road!

Another thing I have a problem with in ltl, at Reddaway anyway, is the equipment. I had a way better truck when I was OTR. They were usually never older than 3 years and I always had the same truck. When you have the same truck you get to know it. At Reddaway I get a different truck every trip and I swear everyone of them has some kind of air leak or something else wrong with them. I'm constantly writing them up. I'll get a truck that has been written up for an air leak, was supposed to be fixed and still has the same problem! It gets really frustrating after a while.

One good thing about peddling was once I got my own truck, I was the only one to use it, and used it everyday. Kept things in it etc. Then when I got layed off the first time they let everyone use it, granted I took all my stuff, but those idiots pretty much destroyed the truck and left it a mess.
On Linehaul we are always swapping trucks. When I go to a bulk break center we will get a different truck. Like today I had a HUGE POS going there, no power on hills, mybe did 55 if that when the ground was level. Coming home I had a decent truck, only problem was steering was too perfect. I mean just a slight turn of the steering wheel turned the truck, had to hold it STRAIGHT. But it pulled very very very well.
Ive noticed that when we do a satellite terminal, the truck they give us is always in good shape... seems like the junk they send out and the good they keep. Heck weve had the same brand new twin screw for months now. Our one two seater twin screw is ours to keep as they use it for training new drivers and p/d that requires two guys -
