    Load Range E Tire

    Replaced a bad tire two weeks ago in Texas. The Mgr. told me that Load Range E tires would be discontinued by July and in the future I would have to do to Load Range G tires which were double the cost. Googled the information and found nothing. Has anyone else heard of this?

    Honda Generator Add On Tank

    A few years ago when I bought my Honda 2000 there were add on tanks available that sat atop the generator. It screwed onto the generator in place of the gas cap and held a few gallons. I did not need one then but am trying now to locate one. I have searched this forum, I have looked at Honda's...

    Panther Insurance

    I did end up getting insurance thru Panther and surprisingly the annual cost was $300 less than what I was paying to CIS. It ended up being a good thing. The premium is paid weekly thru deductions just like Qualcom rather than annually.

    Got a call from my Insurance carrier in Ohio that they can no longer provide the type of insurance required by Panther. Panther states that the insurance requirement has been changed fro Non Trucking Liability to Laden/Unladen. Here is a copy of the email they sent to my agent. "I cannot...

    True Net Income

    I just calculated my percentage of income for the past three years and was curious how it compares to others. I multiplied my net income by my gross income and came up with an average of 13% (including per diem for two drivers) for the past three years. When I take out the per diem my average...

    Front Wheel Drive Van Question

    I have about worn out my Ford 7.3 (753,000 miles) and am looking to replace it with a new/newer van. I like the idea of front wheel drive on the Promaster but have a question on traction. Hopefully someone with experience can give some feedback on this question. How does a 2,000 to 3,000 load...

    Qualcomm startup speed

    Panther replaced my old Qualcomm with the new smaller type unit and I like it better but I have a question for other users. The new unit takes 10 to 15 minuted to load up when it has been shut off for a few hours. That can be very frustrating when waiting to accept a load or find an address to...

    Phone Wait Times

    My personal best telephone wait time with the Cat for "All of our professionals are busy helping others..." to answer my call is 27 minutes. I am sure others can top this. Are all Expedite companies like this?

    Cargo Van Freight Volume

    Don't know about that. Saw the LA board for the Cat this week and it was 5 vans, 4 were teams, and it was a one a day board. Not too good for the second largest city in the US.

    New Debit Card Scam

    Checked into a Knoxville area motel last Friday and in the room for 10 minutes when the room phone rang. It was from the "Hotel Security". They called me by name and said they had ran my card 10 times and it was refused. I was just getting ready to cooperate with them when the hotel manager...

    Night Driving Glasses

    I tried three different pair of yellow type glasses with varying degrees of satisfaction. The last pair were light yellow safety glasses from Woot for $5 and they are perfect. Very helpful at night but outstanding on a dark rainy day or night. Especially helpful in "truck fog", you know that...
