I told you I was guessing

 

I don't own a truck though??? :?

 

I'll sell you one and throw in a nice beagle (with issues)

 

LOL-A beagle with Issues

 

I am not sure he is really a beagle

A rescue group brought in about a dozen "lemon drop " beagle puppies

They were very small and frail

Included was this big fat beagle stow away

trying to pass himself off as a baby beagle

Week after week we fostered him week after week and finaally found someone to adopt him

he showed "agressive behavior" with the adoptors so they gave him back

we wound up taking him,

you want him?

He would do well inh a fed ex truck

 

LOL



Side note: Fedex Ground does not allow pets in any trucks, they are considered "unauthorized passengers"

 

Is that as big as it gets? I'd love a trucker-dog 8)

Counseling and therapy bills might run me outta business

 

i just started with FedEx ground, this is my 2nd week. last week (my 1st wk), we did 4730 miles. all i can say from the two weeks is that they'll run you hard and that you won't be sitting around waiting on loads; the most we waited was like 2 hrs to get our paperwork. this past week was a little bit different, we only ran 4200 miles because we got delayed in Columbia, Missouri because of the snow storm; if it hadn't been because of the storm we could've done way over 5,000 miles. pulling doubles is not as bad as i thought it'd be, it only takes a couple of times for you to learn how to hook them up.

 

You run team then? How are the singles?

What kind of expenses do you incur?

1) Truck payment =
2) Fuel =
3) Insurance =
3)...?

I have a pretty good idea what the truck payment would cost me, same with fuel. Insurance? What else am I not thinking about?

And yeah I am not really worried about pulling doubles. I've never done it but I have the endorsement and have watched training videos on how to do it. Only scary part seems like it would be in the winter. Those single axles start to skid and I imagine you could get really hemmed up really quick.

 

Driving doubles on snow/ice ain't too bad, just keep going, maintain a safe speed and if you see the trailers skidding just slowly accelerate. If conditions are too bad you can stop somewhere safe and call in dispatch and let them know you're stopping. They are pretty cool about it.
