Any van teams or sprinter teams working for Panther I could ask a few questions?

I wanted to know how many of you find that you deadhead more for loads these days? Do a lot of you just suck it up and if it's under 30% you do the deadhead for the load? What is everyone's reasoning? Do you feel like it's not worth the time it takes you and you don't profit except getting...

Well, I've talked about this once before but this was too bad to ignore. Recently we were in El Paso. Just relaxing in the beautiful weather. Looking out the window and in front of us was a Panther straight truck parked in the front row. The guy gets out of his truck, proceeds to his back...

If driving a straight truck with lift axle registered for 54,000 pounds, what would the legal axle weights be?

Hi, I switched from Sprint MIFI to Verizon MIFI since everyone raves about Verizon's service. The customer service experience has actually been quite bad, lol. Phones signals on our Iphones work great and we have service EVERYWHERE. But the MIFI....nothing but issues? Anyone else have...

Why oh why on a cool weather day does someone ALWAYS have to pull up next to us in an old truck with stinky exhaust?? I really enjoy my windows cracked or the roof fan on, and everytime I do I either get someone who smokes one ciggarette after another or a truck with horrible exhaust fumes...

Beware! Stay away from the trucks in Iola Kansas at the junction of 54 and 169. We were sitting in the sleeper as were other drivers, and when I was rolling up our curtain I saw the DOT doing inspections on guys just on their downtime. They were staring at all the trucks and knocking on doors to...

We have a new truck with a new rooftop ac like the rvs. Has anyone ever experienced a smell from theirs? Best I can describe it is that it smells similar to what cat spray smells like, lol. We see water drain from the holes on the side of the roof, so I'm not sure if this is some kind of water...

I have a truck with a 100 gallon fuel tank. I have to put DET in this truck. How long does it usually last? I've never hadto use it before.

Okay, I have an ICT sleeper with a little sole brand tv in it. No manual, came with a little silver remote with no name on it. I can't get the tv to respond to the remote. Just black and white fuzz for tv screen. Bought a universal remote, used sole tv code....still nothing but an Orange flash...

If you have a shower in your truck, where is the best place to fill your water tank? And how do you drain it? Never used one and I'm curious.

Hello everyone. I have a question. If I am going to drive for an owner who already has a truck on with a carrier, and I'm going to drive it to orientation, do I have to have a new DOT physical and medical card....my old one expired in February. We had to come off the road and take a little...

If you like to walk, I have one for you. We're at the Sapp Bros. in Salt Lake City. We decided to go on a walk to downtown because there are sidewalks everywhere. We took a right out of the truckstop, and about a mile down, there is a bridge and on both sides a trail. Why not? We followed...

Does anyone know the speed limit in California for a two axle straight truck? Some signs say "trucks" 55, some signs say "trucks 3 axles or more" and some just say "any vehicles towing." Has anyone ever asked before? I'm too afraid to just go 65 without knowing for sure, so I wondered if...

Does anyone know of any place to wait while in carlisle besides the nasty truckstops? Have you found a mall, or a walmart that allows trucks to park? Just get tired of the truckstops here, and wondered if anyone knew of anywhere else to park here?

I was wondering if anyone knows where you can find the nutritional info for food at truckstop restaurants? I don't want to eat in them, but I am curious about the nutritional facts. Recently I looked up some restaurants and their info, and was totally shocked by the amounts of everything in...

Just out of curiousity, a lot of Sprinter owners don't have the sleepers correct? If not, is it some kind of a bed that pulls down? I'm guessing the reason is so that you can carry 3 pallets instead of 2. If that's the case, what do you do if you have 3 pallets, can't pull your bed down, and...

Just wondering how many of you in straight trucks go to state parks, or regular parks to use the trails for walking or biking or anything like that? If any of you do, do you call ahead to see if they will allow you to go there and where you would park and stuff? Do you think they would only...

Does anyone know of a good spot for a straight truck to wait over the weekend in New Hampshire near Concord? We have a load delivering there tommorrow, and pick up one 20 miles West of there on Sunday, so we need somewhere to stop until then. I know there's not much for truck stops and...

I always hear about how maybe some Walmart's don't want trucks parking at their stores is because of drivers leaving a mess. Yesterday I witnessed just that. I called a Walmart who doesn't let trucks stay and park, but if you need to shop they didn't mind. I went in, got groceries, and along...
