So Greg, I guess you took the lil short run from Fremont yesterday and delivered in Healdsburg this afternoon? I was thinking earlier you may have been the "C" that took a load to El Segundo last night. I was on the San Jose board yesterday and that Healdsburg load would not have been too bad...

RE: Panther driver makes front page news in Pittsb Truckers dread Mexican big rigs By Rick Stouffer TRIBUNE-REVIEW Sunday, July 15, 2007 Jerry Herndon's face soured when asked about Mexican truckers delivering cargo anywhere in the United States. "The idea of opening up our borders to...

While in Pittsburgh this morning waiting for a flight back to San Francisco I picked up a copy of the Sunday Tribune Review and on the front page is an article named "Truckers Dread Mexican Rigs" with a picture and quote from Jerry Herndon, from Dothan, Alabama. Driver for Panther Expedited...

A driver talking about a CPM of 53c a mile is just talking of what it costs to move the truck before driver pay, profit and replacement cost. You need to know fixed costs and variable. For instance variable such as c-link, insurance, truckpayment, the more miles you run every month the less cost...

Off to Vegas for me also, and will be takin a chopper with Bob and Linda to the Grand Canyon with a landing and short stay on the bottom. Should be fun

Mrgood, gotta tell ya you gave me a good laugh with yer brief #2 post on this thread a few days ago. I knew you were right. But give MP credit for being a good instigator and keeping the board jumping.

As far as "official" RV parks with hookups I can't help you. There are a lot of them along the way, though. I would stop at the lil grocery store on 199 in Gasquet,Ca just before entering the Jedediah Smith Redwoods and pick their brain a little. There is also a Hiouchi Info center just beyond...

As far as seeing old growth redwoods. If you are not rushed getting from Oregon to the bay area I would recommend cutting west on hwy 199 from Grants Pass,Or to Crescent City,Ca After hitting the Calif state line you will enter into old growth Redwood groves with many pull out areas. Then...

Wow, you guys are lucky to be driving some amazing trucks that never break down. I have one service failure in 2005 with a broken fan belt and was 3 hours late for pickup, but ontime for delivery in Albuquerque. Been late a few times due to weather but that don't count. Never been late for...

Have to go along with Night. I never wait 10 min. in Laredo unless I am the only truck. I first check the Houston board and if it is light I can be on the board in 5 hours. We get loads out of Laredo every day but we have many more trucks inbound then outbound. The carrier you are with makes a...

In case anyone is interested, here is the results of my attempt to be a "cherry picker" and get a load back west or long weekend run out of Chicago on Friday. I d/h out of Ohio and arrived in Gary,In. Thurs night. I had my 10 hrs off at 9am and the first offer came at 932am 538 mi to Belpre,Oh...

The problem, with Fedex, for singles on long weekend loads is that, often long loads are called in as straight thru and dispatched to a team before delivery confirmation is made. There are many 1000 mile runs going to teams on Friday for Monday delivery due to this circumstance. I, personally...

Google "barn stars" They have an Amish background and were considered good luck. But as Terry says they are mostly just ornamental.

Excuse Me, but Boomer and Moonprowler are both recent members and come in here bashing away???? Claim to be long time expediters with Fedex. Give me a break. If you are a team and don't like the run offers from Detroit, then, when you are ready to get back out in the system why don't you head...

Two weeks out then eligible to go on the home board sounds a lil short? And with Panther already having a liberal FIFO policy from what I hear, wouldn't that get some drivers aggravated that are at the top of the list then get bumped down? Say I have been sitting in Salt Lake City 2 days and...

Like I said, get down to LA for Thurs and Fri and you should get a load back east. Sounds like you are pickin up in Tehachapie. Frequent loads from there to Ok. I don't know why planning would tell yer truck to stay in Or. We have trucks going there every day including one almost daily from the...

Wing, I saw yer C disapeared from the Sac board this afternoon, hope they got something good. VRU said lots of loads today but don't know the quality? I did three myself, Ontario to Indio, San Clemente to San Dimas, was offered a run to San Luis Obispo but didn't have the hours for it then did a...

Did I hear my name? Anyway, you said four days waiting in Oregon as in Friday delivery then spend weekend and come down Sacramento Monday? I don't really count weekend days as expected load days. But the question is it busy out here. I noticed you're C unit on the Sac board this morning but they...

Book it! Need to move heavy cargo fast, but want to let someone else figure out the best way to get it there? Integres Global Logistics can quickly locate space for you on one of 12,000 daily flights or 40,000 trailers, says Mary Thomson, the company's vice president of marketing in Rancho...

Best wishes to you, Glen and may you have a full and complete recovery. Although I never had the good fortune to cross paths with you very often over the years, they were memorable times when they did occur. Several times at the old Speedway in Avon, Oh. in particular, and at Four Star I...
