Remus, do you have to drop a turd in every thread that has Panther in the title? And Bob, I guess you're wrong. Is my guess anymore valid than yours? Maybe it's not a guess but an opinion instead. Didn't your mom tell you that if you don't have anything good to say don't say anything at all...

I bought one of these laptops this morning. It seems like a very good value. They were out of them by 0900. Intel Celeron @ 1.7 ghz, 1 gig ram, 80 gig hd, vista home basic, cd/dvd rw, b/g wireless card, 15.4" screen with a nice bright display. They also had Toshiba HD DVD players for $98. The...

Without a CDL and HM endorsement you simply won't be offered any HM loads. Not an issue.

Trust me, as of two weeks ago a CDL is no longer required to operate a cargo van for Panther Expedited Services. It doesn't matter if you are an O/O or drive for an O/O. The web site hasn't been changed yet. Jeff

I'm with those that say "every situation is different." The usual rule of thumb is if the owner pays they get paid the miles to delivery. If the company pays the miles stop at the point of breakdown. Usually if it's a breakdown the owner is responsible. If it's an hours of service issue often...

Vinnie, 1500 to 2000 miles is what they can expect. If you pay them by the mile they may be upset. If you pay them a percentage they may be less upset. Most owners in expedite pay percentage I think.

The truck stop does provide a confirmation. After looking at the transflo website it looks like they are located mostly at Pilot and Loves' T/S. Transflo is owned by pegasus transtech www.transflo.com. I really like the idea that the p/w is turned in instantly. And you don't have to pay for...

Yes, I know this truck. It belongs to a fellow named Nunzio, I will leave his last name out of it. He drove for Panther for a couple of years as a solo driver. When his lovely wife retired he built this truck so she could go on the road with him. It is legal, the freight box is 14', every other...

I agree with you Art! Panther was better when they had a Contractor Relations Dept. Oh wait, that's a little self serving isn't it? Oh well, it's still true. Whenever a group polices themselves there will be issues about fairness, or more correctly the perception of fairness. I am glad you have...

Firefox forever!! I recently downloaded IE7 as soon as it became available. I have used it 3 times. It's a poor imitation of Firefox. I love how firefox doesn't let anything happen behind the scene without you knowing about it and you can erase all traces of your surfing when you close the...

I think I started this rumor about 5 years ago. Does anyone else remember a UPS Superbowl commercial, shot in Africa, that showed a guy in a UPS uniform running on a dusty plain with a package? In the background were two black Panthers. You can figure out the rest. There really are no panthers...

You should know that as soon as you decide to make some comment about everyone elses spelling you will mispell a word in it. "fell" vs "feel". I couldn't help myself.

RE: Hino Trucks and why I bought 1 and ordered the exp10years, if your van body exceeds 18 feet, with your 96" sleeper, your Hino frame is being stretched, period. Regardless of what your dealer may be saying. Until 2010, when Hino's new factory in Arkansas opens, the longest wheelbase...

John, here is a link to a basic mobile external cell antenna. On the page is also a link to an amplified version. Happy mobile computing! Jeff http://mycellularsolutions.com/dualmobilesystem.html

My pleasure Dave.

Leo, you can get Goodyears at any Goodyear Commercial Tire Center or Kellys at any T/A. Tell them you are using national acct # 1533. And you must make the purchase from your Panther issued ComData card. They will not know your actual price. disregard anything they quote you and check your...

I have to ask, is anyone getting 12 mpg in a 33.000 GVW truck? I think the average is closer to 9 - 10. There was one of the Conway Hinos in here yesterday and the driver says he is getting 8.5 avg for all miles. He stated he got 9.1 on the trip from South Carolina to Ohio that brought him here...

MRADI, give me a call at 866-475-3322. We can help you find a box, new or used. We started as a bodyworks company. We have lots of contacts in the body business. Thanks, Jeff Brown.

If you are interested in a Hino you should contact Churneys' Truck Center in Cleveland. We have been building Hino Expediters for some time now and will work with any sleeper maker. Get it built the way you want it built.

What kind of things would you like be on your straight truck dealership wish list?
