good reminder. I saw a truck layin on it's side later on... quite a wake up. guys were askin on the cb how he rolled it on dry pavement. Dave.

hey dreamer, the difference is if you make fun of Jesus in a show, the modern day Christian doesn't write to the show, threatening to come to the producers house, burn it, kill his family, if they don't remove the offending episode...(south park and the mohammed episode comes to mind?).it' s ok...

They're not the highest paying out here, but they keep me running. Dave

I'm confused. I've been following this saga.. but don't get it. Let's see, just not to long ago, Greg McClain, aka McClain, aka Fort Wayne, aka Chuckwagon was in trouble for stealing...er .. excuse me.. not returning a Bolt fleet owner's truck that he claimed owed him money. He freely...

Hey xcol, I'm just curious. You always say find a tree, make fun of people who stay in truck stops, all those other cheerful comments. Just for us dumb normal people.. where do you find all these trees? Most nights, it's hard to find a place to pull over, let alone a nice purty tree to park...

Yes, it has made the rounds about us pulling some flatbed trailors. It's company trailor anyway, so I don't care.. as long as I get paid to strap and tarp, it's just another load. For straight trucks tho, I don't think they would get enough loads to justify a dedicated flatbed truck...

They're just trying to get us more runs from the West Coast basically. I think the bottom line is, no one wants to run out there, so they're finally concentrating on getting us some backhauls. Dave Panther E Unit

justdoit/kswish (why do people post the same topic in every forum they go to under different names.... ..oh yeah, it's because they burn their bridges...) anyway... the site is.. http://www.bentzusa.com/ and it's still under construction, according to their front page. Will open April 2005...

Since you're in a van, take every run offered for the first few weeks. Don't be like some of the 'experienced' drivers who only want the long runs. Take them all. You can't run out of hours, so take that short one, and be ready for a long one. Sleep every chance you get so you'll be awake...

I can't help but wonder why a moderator can't understand? Obviously posters were trying to help, thinking there was another issue at hand instead of just when he got his check deposited. First post sounded like he was living check to check.. last post says he's not... people were trying to...

Are you running enough with Panther to make up for the difference in pay? I used to run with FedEx many years ago. Back then, I got paid mostly around a buck a mile or so. I know Panther adverises 77 cents a mile. Dave
