I got to meet Turtle this week and sit down and tallk with him at Panther. I thought it would be nice to have an EO Holiday party that maybe we can get together and have coffee or dinner together. What do you guys think? Maybe we can all meet at the TA or something in Seville, Ohio. Its a place...

After reading the post about FedEx changing the pay on B units to .85 cpm. Do you think they will do it to the rest of the fleet on a flat rate per mile? With times hard for business and over 15 expedite companies trying to get all the loads. This may have been coming I don't know. Maybe this...

I was wanting to know if your Carrier offered a Group 401K to it's contractor that an outside company took care of would you join it. Lets say Panther did this and took out of your settlements $25.00 a week for every driver. That is alot of money as a group. Maybe DaveKc or Phil can step in on...

Well voting for the next leader of the free world has come and gone. Are you happy with what the turn out was? Do you think it will help or hurt the expedite business?

How does your company reward you with doing short loads? I know FedEx Custom Critical rewards their driver's for taking a load under 75 miles. You get so many points for DVA which only fare because you did a short load. You can take your less than 75 as it's called at FedEx and go out of service...

I have been out on the road the last few weeks seeing how Panther is since we moved all the trucks to Panther. I will say the fuel discounts that they have set up with the TA is a very good one. We saved in the one truck I drive in almost $600.00 over the last two weeks. We now have asked our...
