Thanks for the replies. I think (depending on where the truck gets fixed), I'll indeed stay in Lodi. No desire to go into Akron/Canton to wait (used to live in Akron, blech). Or I may hang out at the Walmart in Wadsworth. Better selection of eats and such. And cheaper to restock my supply of...

Who's got the best combination of speed, quality and price? The TA can't handle what's need doing. They lacks the parts. It's a Freightliner Century stretched for a box. Please no snarky replies about you can have two of the three. I'm asking for the best combination of the three...

Ok, quick question. After the early week orientation is done, is there a good place to scuttle off to to wait for a load, or is staying in Lodi your best bet? I've never had to deal with this before, as I always lived close enough to go home and wait for a load. Is Lodi just glutted with...

I don't have any idea which forum this goes in, feel free to move it. I almost put it under tech, but wasn't sure if it really qualified there. I've been using Tracfone for a couple years. It's what I'm going back out with, but I know I need to change that as soon as I can. I was with Sprint...

Diet drinks...augh. Aside from the most heinous after taste, I refuse to consume Nutrasweet. Or that Splenda crap. I'll takes me corn sugars. But when I can get the cane sugar....oh so natural and oh so smooth....mmmm.... Steak. I think I'm gonna have steak tonite. Mostly cause it's been...

What about the numbers aspects? Yeah, picking up and delivering in a timely manner, and not looking like you're homeess is important and all (and shouldn't really be an issue, but I've seen those guys too on the docks), but how do you go about your number crunching to see if a load is...

Any updates on how the cleanup is proceeding? Particularly in Ohio. Did WV, PA, or Maryland get hit too bad? Thanks! Christopher

Earplugs help too. I wear them a lot at home because I'm often asleep while others are up and about. And our place has thin walls. I agree about the super micro-naps. I've been good on a 3 minute nap before. Too long, tho, and I have a horrible time getting geared back up. Any nap over 30 for...

So are you saying take all the freight offered? Or just all the freight that doesn't operate you at a loss? Thanks! Christopher

Lol....I'm not talented enough to play and drive simultaneous-like. Looks like the PS2 is coming out into the big bad world with me. Thanks! Christopher

Is there a thread for ST that is like the "the cargo van expediter" thread? It's a killer thread for new van drivers. How about one for New ST drivers? And TT drivers? Particularly ones coming from regular long haul trucking? I remember doing all that waiting was just BRUTAL when I first went to...

This is a good thread. And since it's not a sticky, and it should never get buried too deep, I'ma put it back onto page 1. And when did Panther put in mandatory breaks and stuff for van drivers? I don't remember this my from brief van time in 2005. Thanks! Christopher

This is pretty much why I switched from CV to ST in my first stint with Panther. I'm 6'4", and that low-top Ford was just not making me any kind of happy. Especially sitting for a weekend in Grand Rapids.:mad: Christopher

Well, unless Xbox is built tougher, that's good enough for me! Thanks! Christopher

Are these cost effective and sufficient for keeping warm with the engine off? Say down into the teens, above the point where diesel gels up. Or will this kill your battery if you're able to get 8-10 hours of bunk time? Thanks! Christopher

Anyone here have a Playstation they use on the road? I was wondering how well they handle the abuse of being hauled around in an ST everyday. Thanks! Christopher

Can you elaborate on some of the BS, Gregg? Stuff NOT to do is often more helpful to know than knowing some of the things you're supposed to do. Thanks! Christopher

Why the hostility towards the FSC? I'll take that extra 20-90cpm on top of my rate any day. I'd never use FSC as my primary consideration for taking a load, but it's nice to have, period. Since most customers don't pay the same rates on surcharges, it passes on more money to the truck more...

They're a fleet owner with Panther. Anyone drive or have driven for them? Please PM me if you have, I am in need of information. Thanks! Christopher

Has anyone one in here driven for Daystar as Driver, not an O/O in the last 12 months? If so, please contact me via PM, I have a couple of very specific questions that I need answers for. And these questions are better asked of drivers than recruiters. Thanks! Christopher
