Who you drive for is a factor, but there are others. Where "home" is. If it's on or near a freight lane. Easier to get a load to and from if it is. Normally, you just don't decide to deadhead home from wherever you are. You work your way there getting loads to get you close. It can...

How long would you be staying out on the road and in service?

Yep it would. 800-957-4698 Brian Welsh is the recruiter. He could also PM John Elliott and get an answer.

I have not yet received the final diagnosis from the crack medical team at the Mayo Clinic.:D

Hire the handicapped.:confused:

No problem, glad to help.

They haven't changed that much. Some trucks are equipped with automatic slack adjusters. You still adjust the manual ones based on the measurement of the brake chamber pushrod. Stating the obvious, chock the wheels of the truck and release the brakes. Get a piece of chalk or some means of...

I worked on air brake systems for over 10 years. Ask your question.

Most carriers require a class B CDL since it's classified as a cmv and you have to log, so it really doesn't matter what Ohio requires. Ohio rules: To get a CDL-B, you have to take a test, pass air brake endorsement, test drive in similar vehicle. To get a CDL-C, which replaced the...

Recruiter's name is Brian. 800-506-4422.

Yeah, I stopped by a couple of months ago to have Don check the inverter in my truck. He had several sprinters and a couple of freightliner centurys in the shop, but I didn't know he was still building the "cruiser".

Sorry RoadTime, senior moment. In answer to your question, that's probably going to be tough. Like the other larger carriers, Panther's emphasis is on teams. The 60/40 split will be tough as well given the current price of fuel. You should be getting the FSC under this arrangement, but...

Thanks for the info Deanna. I have one of the 960 Cruisers, a 2006. Who is building the sleeper for your trucks since Bentz is no longer in business?

I think a solo will still be able to make money Guido. If a solo has been running legal, the EOBR's and electronic logs won't cause you to make any change. If they change the HOS to 10 hours of driving time, a solo should still be able to adapt. Dispatchers will be the ones under more...

What are you driving? Cargo Van, Sprinter, Straight truck, or Tractor?

They were put together by Freightliner of Knoxville. Since Sterling trucks have been discontinued, and Bentz sleepers is also out of business. I haven't seen the dealer advertise anything on them. New, they were around $102,000. You can still pick up a used one since they are plentiful...
