McBride, best of luck to you in your endeavors! I fully agree with you and am looking into other companies myself. Negotiating things that should be policy or standardized is now a daily game and gets tiring. I do not like jumping companies but gave just two co's 10 yrs total so it's time...

RE: Hino Trucks and why I bought 1 and ordered the Mr Garman, I just ordered a 96" sleeper on my HINO and they did not tell me what you were told, however I heard the chassis doesn't support them as well as other trucks, when I asked my dealer they said those chassis are just as strong as any...

RE: Hino Trucks and why I bought 1 and ordered the Hello, I just ordered a HINO as well. It is quite a bit more expensive than you mentioned but the base-rate was close. We ordered a larger sleeper and some extra's. I was told we could get as much as 11 mpg after break-in but am not...

Hi I just ordered a sleeper with the bunks going horizontally behind the drivers seat and passenger's seat. It is a relatively new concept in sleepers and I understand mine is only the second one to be ordered. It allows your feet to absorb the impact of a quick stop etc., and eliminates the...

Hi I am new to this forum, and forgive me if this subject has already been discussed. I am wondering why Panther gives you a load offer and doesnt tell you up front they are using the Household movers guide program for a particular load? You find out after you have run at least part of the...

In regards to Panther Dead Zones, there are some just like all companies have dead zones.. I cringe when I hear a driver "sat for 5 days" anywhere. First, I check with backhaul to see if there is anything out there for a van like a couple of pallets. Maybe it will only pay 25 cents a mile but...
