RE: what is the most memorable thing you have expe I agree with romoore, going N-I75 getting to the top of the big hill and just rolling over it to see cinncinatti on your way down I always thought was a cool sight. My favorite was the first time I went threw the AZ desert. It was like I was on...

To stay or leave of course is up to you. I can tell you though when I cancelled my contract with Panther not to long ago the first thing they asked me was "Not getting enough miles?" followed by "You are the 4th cargo van to cancel there contract today". Good Luck

What do you do when your done with your expedite van. I'm not going to trade it in on another van I just want to sell it. Any pointers on the best way to do this?

I think its a combination of "The Big 3" now being "Toyota, and some other struggling companies" mixed with over recruiting. Its no secret how bad things are in Michigan and how the glory days of the UAW are over. I think expediting is starting to see the effects this state has been dealing with...

1- Anyone can pee in a toilet but only a seasoned expediter with years of training can pee in an empty pop bottle at 0300 in januaray with wind gusts over 50mph at some rest stop with one working light and nowhere to park while the QC and cell phone are going off to see why your not moving. 2-...

Anybody know anything about this? Schneider claims "you can be home every night". From what I've seen its moving containers from rail yards. How do you get paid if your home every night, hourly? I know its not expediting, another driver at a cons was talking about it. I thought I'd see if anyone...

If I let my van set for a few days the battery is dead? I just replaced it. My theory is the QC and cold is slowly draining it. Has this happened to anyone else to back up my theory?

I drive a van and am thinking of going to a straight truck. I know people say it all the time but I do believe there are just to many vans on the road to make real money with one. Personally I would stay were your at. When I started driving I was the only van in my area, just within the last...

"Diamler is not going to play the uaw games here in detroit like the big (or used to be big) 3. There not going to waste the time dealing with the uaw who have no leg to stand on anymore. Its a take it and have a job for a litle while longer maybe, or leave it see you later deal." This is what I...

Now im not sure what the Greeks and the Romans would have to say about all this, or the lords and knights at the round table. As an American, one who has seen and been effected by a cheap Mexican labor pool displacing normal everyday jobs and taking the skill out of skilled labor. It is my...

Regardless of your views on Mexico, anyone thinking of operating there should check out this site. There are many more like it. I hope the link works. http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/mexico/stories/MYSA110906.mexicokidnap.KENS.21552b53.html

I dont think writing or calling anyone is going to change anything. As long as there is $ involved the few at the top are gona cash in. (Halliburton/Iraq) Whats the worst case senerio, mexicans drive for 2 cents a mile. Expediting becomes a job "Americans wont do".

How do you think a mexican non english speaking truck driver would do dropping off at a UAW plant? After a while I think the consignee would request american drivers. Reading maps, following directions, getting threw truck stops and wiegh stations? I dont think the problem will be to bad, at...

To answer the questions 1- Panther 2- Van driver

In the last few weeks i have been getting back to back runs. Everyone loves that no question. My situation is as follows. Run 700 miles an drop off. Now its taken all day and Im beat so I start looking for the next truck stop. Just have enough time to fuel up when the QC goes off with another...

My problems with the QC are like Cheri's. I called panther and the guys that install the QC were really good about telling me where to take it locally to have it looked at if it kept acting up. I'll give it one more chance and it goes in. The only problem now is, theres someone on the space...

Is anyone having problems with there QC now that it is so cold out? This thing is starting to get me into trouble. Load offers take 10 or more minutes to come over and just as long to go back. I have put myself out of service twice to take care of stuff at home but then they call me at night to...

You got a point Greg, success is different for everyone. Myself, I have no real debts, used to, got rid of them thank god. I have a family. If driving this van around will make everything work at home I will be happy. There in lies my problem. I have 3 boys all under age 5 and a wife to chase...
