The theory works. It would be like propane injection. But 12K?? That is a LOT of money for something if you do some digging on the net you can make out of hardware store parts and 12 volts. All it takes is electrical current flowing through the water to get it to sperate. I am not sure what they...

can't say I know much about Detroit. Never been there. Other drivers tell me it's not that hard to get out of, there is work not far away too. Hopefully someone will come along with experiance up there. I also drive a extended Ford van. 300,000 miles and that old stroker is still going strong.

First off. I am just as unhappy with fuel prices as the next guy. I too was in your shoes about a month ago. Signed with a company that was hauling freight for 1.10 a mile on a run that required you to burn the log book (800 miles and 4-5 hours of on duty time) with no chance of a fuel...

I've got a question you can ask while calling around. When it says "All trucks over 7000 Pounds" do they mean actual or gross? I never know. So I just pull in. I'd rather be told "stay off my scale" than "you should have pulled in, here is your ticket please follow me to the scale".

I had a busy day last night and yesterday. Started off in Minneapolis and off to alexandria mn, then off to Aberdeen South Dakota for a load headed to Joplin MO.. On the drive to Joplin a message comes over the QC "call safety sup ext blah blah blah" Being the first time I have seen this I...

watch the signs for a weight as well. Iowa for one is 6000 Lbs or more, South Dakota is 7000, Wisconsin is 8000 I think. I go in if my GVW is higher than what is on the sign. I also go in when it says ALL COMERCIAL TRUCKS or what have you. No clue on canada. Non-canada lease.

Fuel dropped here in Minnesota last night. I drove by the station yesterday and diesel was 2.39 a gallon, this morning I pulled in when I saw it at 2.19. Crude is down to 53.XX a barrel. Maybe it is a trend (I hope I hope I hope)

RE: Is it not a requirement to be able to read Eng It is a requirement for a CDL driver. But most DMV's don't care, or don't know and thus do not inforce it. I wonder how they even get around with a truck not being able read signs, talk to the DOT officers, police, dock people, heck even the...

Panther does in-house physicals. Not sure why. I showed up with a card good for 18 months but they said I had to take theirs. No problem. They checked my blood pressure and claimed it is high. Gave me a 90 day card. Now Panther insists I have to have my pressure checked 3 times in the next three...

panthers goes to their office in ohio. anything in by noon monday is paid 15 business days later. there is no charge for trippak.

Been with Panther just over a week, so this is based on little experiance. I have never had trouble getting a load, period. Chicago should not be a problem. Got to Greenville SC Friday night, figured I would be here all weekend. Got a load Saturday, to bad the shipper kept screwing up and it...

I hear ya. I don't understand it completely either. But they made it very clear before I signed the dotted line so it was not a suprise to me. It is the way they operate and others don't. That is why it is important to call everyone and pick the carrier that fits you best ;) If I owned a...

Could not have said it better myself Woobergoober. I offten wonder how many bush bashers see black helicopters everywhere. If there was HUGE demand for expediter trucks, and few trucks do you think any of those blaming bush and others would turn down the MUCH higher rates we could get for our...

There is only one problem with the putting in to payroll when the QC sends in delivered... There is nothing to make sure the lazy driver will send in the paperwork. Hence the no paperwork, no pay. Panther uses trippak so I send in my paperwork almost nightly. I just wish there where more trippak...

What you need are good workoholics or someone with a TON of debit and can't afford to stop. Saidly most of those people already have jobs. And workoholics are in short supply. People with a ton of debit are all filling bankruptcy before they laws change.. Guess good drivers are hard to find...

From what I was told they do this because they had troubles with drivers getting the money, withdrawing it before doing the run and not doing it. Beats me, but I guess it makes sense. The reason Panther does not pay the full amount on completion is the Qualcomm. They are very expensive (so they...

You might change your mind about canada after orentation. They do a *very* good job of making sure you know how to get accross the boarder with out troubles. And are always a phone call away to make sure everything was done right. Of course I am kind of talking out of my butt because I can't go...

RE: Possible info on Co. named All-Types out of Ft Be sure to touch base with the driver that posted in the General forum. He is currently with all types. And does not seem to like it.

Thank you for shedding some light on all types. Please be sure to look for the member that is looking at signing with them. Perhaps you can share some stories with him so that he can make a informed choice. As you your situation. Becuse your van is a 97 you have basically only one choice when...

My dodge had dual barn doors. More than big enough to take a skid. The single door is just as large and I don't think would be much of a issue although I'd suggest the dual for ease. Also make sure you keep the hindges lubed, I had the door fall off in my hand once. Pin rusted in place and broke...
