    Q for Panther Folks

    I would post this in the Panther subforum, but it's so quiet down there (I miss the old days of the busy EO forum!). Can anyone explain "protect service"? I hear that phrase tossed around but I'm not sure what it is. It's evidently something drivers ask for when negotiating loads. And is it...

    Sunglasses or sleep won't fix such happy mixups. :)

    First Truck What to bring

    Copies of your prescriptions, both medicines and glasses. Your pet's vaccination certificate, if s/he travels with you. Any over the counter meds you take on occasion. You won't want to get dressed and drive to the nearest Walmart in the middle of the night for a bad case of heartburn, for...

    Big Truck Where do you fill your water tanks?

    We use the RV islands at the J, usually. If we park at a friend's house or an RV park, we'll take advantage of the situation and top the tank off before leaving. We buy in-line water filters in the RV section of Walmart and change them often. No issues so far. The real challenge is where to get...

    Info about Panther Fleet Owners

    If you're looking for an owner who is honest as the day is long, I know of one. PM me. I'd trust him with my grandmother's money. He was our 2nd fleet owner, and remains one of our best friends. (our first owner sucked thousands of dollars from our income - we didn't know better and she had no...

    #FlashATruckerFriday

    I'm going to find it difficult to flash you while I'm driving a #realtruck under #realdotregulations. Maybe you'd get more responses by posting this idea via hashtagging #iwishiwasaman or #icantaffordporn or #imablatantfailureatlife . Just sayin', akkshole.

    Loves Tire Pass

    Sounds an awful lot like something I should already be handling myself - during my PTI, for instance. And without charge, I might add.

    Ode to Waffle House

    I'm resurrecting this old thread because the code is revealed: Working Tourists: Update: Waffle House Secret Code Now we can have something to keep us busy while we wait for cheesy eggs.

    Considering bringing spouse on road

    In all seriousness, if you need to ask, it ain't gonna work. Do both of you a favor and just abandon the idea entirely.

    DOT Physicals

    I think the OP's point was that he opposes the financial support of entities who enthusiastically exploit every opportunity to make a buck (read: "share a kickback") without true analytical consideration for individual requirements. My neck size and/or BMI DOES NOT automatically indicate my...

    Hazmat question?!

    I realize this is a resurrected 3 year old topic, but I've got to say - if I'm subjected to an inspection, I am NOT going to parse the Federal nomenclature and argue every nuance of the definition of "hazardous materials" with someone who has the power to ding my CSA and initiate substantial...

    How Would You Spend It?

    I'm astonished at how quickly and often some of you are able to post. Are you sure you guys drive for a living? :cool: So far, the only reasonable responses are to remove the pee smell from rest areas and physically wall off DC. Both have my vote. But I'm serious. And furious. Twenty-two...
