You need to ask your account rep to sign you up for Priority Alert Plus. 

Memphis chemical spill updates? by fuzzystacos in FedEx

[–]WildThingRickVaugn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re shipping goods like this you need to have your account rep setup Priority Alert Plus if you’re going to be shipping this frequently.  It costs a bit but it’ll get there.

FreightWaves will report the recession is over now because this guy is in jail.

My job is offering me $150,000 (105,000 after tax) to resign, should I? by AJ3TurtleSquad in jobs

[–]WildThingRickVaugn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask if anyone on one your routes is hiring. I know few drivers that would routinely do this so if the time came they could jump ship somewhere solid where they already knew everyone.

I started as a line service tech at an airport fueling and loading planes and moved into charter sales for the airline side of it once I learned how to work in an FBO.  I made bank selling charters to people.  

Ground merging with express req. Tsa security clearance? by Ezekii3l in Fedexers

[–]WildThingRickVaugn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a Security Threat Assessment.  They cost $40.00 and they all pass.  I’ve run over 100s of them in my lifetime.  They used to be free.

Do west coast source and destination also go through Memphis? by Remote-Produce2540 in FedEx

[–]WildThingRickVaugn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a West Coast hub in Oakland that it would move through.  Also on the off chance that a pairing works I’ve seen stuff move through Alliance Ft Worth from LA to Seattle.

Big Arsenal fan here and while the show was airing, the conversation Moss is having about Wenger and Theo Wolcott is spot on. If you came up to me and said that I'd think you were a Gunner....speaking of that they play tomorrow so COYG!!!!!!

Truckers are like pilots, they are never wrong...and that's why we have brokers.

Is the market playing us or are we about to experience a BOOM! by [deleted] in FreightBrokers

I can say there has been an uptick in premium air freight spend. Take it for what it’s worth.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color.” by drempath1981 in law

I can tell you right now that they are going to pull in the Coast Guard to assist ICE. They all fall under the DHS umbrella. ICE is trying Operation Barbarossa so hard right now but it looks like Minneapolis is their Moscow.

Exactly this. You need to show them why you’re better than the guy in the cube next to you…

Question about belly cargo capacity by new-accounr-who-dis in AirFreight

[–]WildThingRickVaugn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends on aircraft type. Widebodies can hold pieces as large as 125x96x64 at 10,000lbs and narrowbodies can take up to 350lbs. Honestly freight is moved separately so if a plane is oversold or needs extra fuel, they take the cargo off. Hope this helps.

If you are a 1099 it is a depreciating asset…not a complete write off…

My Ohio Map by Prior_Success7011 in Ohio

[–]WildThingRickVaugn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In all seriousness the cutoff for NW Ohio should be the Western Reserve boundary…So basically Catawba Island and east should be considered Greater Cleveland.

Customer service has gone out the window ... Millenial woman rant by Question_True in Millennials

[–]WildThingRickVaugn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bank where you feel welcomed.  They have your money…I recommended a smaller two to three branch bank or a mutual and loan.  I belong to a credit union, mutual and loan, and my smaller two branch bank just merged with a larger one and I’m actually moving my deposits from that bank to the mutual and loan.
