Our government is broken in Washington. All criminals on the take. We only have ourselves to blame. Does not matter who is President. Your vote don't count. Only the rich and powerful have a say. The rest be damed. Good thing truckers can't carry guns. They would just rub a big callous on their...

After reading about bad carriers and bad economy and bad drivers and bad owners, and bad liers, I think I will set myself on fire and jump off a cliff.....and that is no lie

Phil....do you have an idea what your Onan setup would cost installed?

Seems that at night or weekends the cats are off and the kittens are running the show.

RE: Question for Panther O/Os who booked there own If I am ever in a back haul situation again I will: 1) check out the broker and all contracts 2) have broker\shipper stipulate all payments in writing 3) never cross the border 4) LISTEN TO MY WIFE, AND NOT TAKE THE ##### THING!!!!!!! Teflon

Last month we were not paid a .28 fsc and a .48 fsc was reduced to .24 in the settlement. I accepted those loads because they both involved long deadheads on the front and back end the trip. Of course if I had known the fsc would not be paid in full, I would not have taken the loads. I can't...

“Doing One for the Teamâ€â€¦.what team? I believe that the majority of people in expediting are, by nature, very independent and self reliant. Me and my wife have endured over 2 years in this business because of the independence and flexibility we did not enjoy in our previous jobs. When we...

RE: A Question For Expediting Veterans About Reces Boy, Chet...you sure convinced me....now be sure and drink some more koolaid before you go to sleep.

RE: Brokered Loads RE: Another Yea Broom...some big ##### skeetters and lots of flies. I got a lot of valuable information from this post. If I am ever in a back haul situation again I will: 1) check out the broker and all contracts 2) have broker\shipper stipulate all payments in writing...

Yea Moot......real quality time? We saw some pretty awesome lake country too. Mark it up as experience.

Sorry Guys....we have been in Western Ontario for the past few days with no Internet service... Yes we finally got the proper customs bond from the shipper. Turns out that the shipper was bought recently and the new company did not have a valid customs bond posted, therefore Canadian Customs...

Thanks Rich... By tomorrow noon I will be at 72 hours. At 40.00 per hour that's $2880. Is that about right for a D Unit?

After reading the responses to THawks post, I have another situation that I need help on: We were in Salt Lake City last week for 3 days with no load offers...we listed our truck on "Get Loaded.com" and got a hit from a local broker who offered us a load to Western Ontario. The load (1650...

Greg....my dad is a multi-billionaire and since I contract to Panther, he ask what he could do to help. I said he could buy out FedEx CC and all the other expedite companies. He said he would make some phone calls and offer 10 times what these companies are worth, buy them, and then shut them...

3 weeks ago we got 3000.00 bonus plus 1.55 per mile and .45 fsc for 1412 mile trip...also got 37.50 border crossing and 30.00 detention....grand total to truck 5856.28. About 4.15/mile.......it will probably never happen again....but sure hope it does.

I thought Panther paid 1.20-1.30 for d trucks??????????

I accepted a load with a .43 FSC and was paid .25 in the settlement.... I know that the surcharge in the load offer is an estimated amount, but this seems a little excessive to me. Sometimes I accept loads based on the fuel surcharge. In the above example there was a lot of deadhead on both ends...

Yea, Hawk....you took the words right out of my pie hole. Dispatch has a bad habit of offering the worst load to the "first out" because if they refuse the load they go straight to the bottom of the list.

Yea thanks.......deadheaded to Laredo....got out quick to Ohio...should not have looked at board status....just get the hell out after a few days and keep rolling

yea Fastrod.....we were told this morning that we are 1st out, but talked to another driver here in Dallas and he said he thought he was 1st out. He just got two load offers in a row and took one of them...we should have been offered the other if in fact we were 1st out, but did not. Still...
