My first truck was a 2001 Century with a 500 HP Cummins and the Smartshift auto(driving for a F/O). It had about 350k when it was converted. Once I learned to program the computer for the tranny, I would usually average between 10-11 MPG. Add a heavy load or lots of hills and mileage would fall...

I sent you an IM.

Here's a big issue that I haven't noticed being discussed. 60% of what? Panther has two contracts, the old one pays, I believe, 10 cents more per mile. Additionally, fleet owners may take 40% of fuel surcharges and accessorials too (I know one that does), others may take 40% of some...

RE%3A Wow-what is the deal%3F No

I must question the fleet owner paying the fuel concept on both perspectives. As a driver/contractor, do I want to be obligated to call the F/O every time I have to make a decision? Isn't this crossing over into employee territory? As F/O (I am not, but think about it alot), I don't think I...

If I recall correctly it is called an interruptor switch. fixed my FL70 with 3126.

I have the same experience as Charlotte. I would add that both people need to be present when you call safety to go back in servie as a team. Aside from getting through on the phone system it is not a problem.

Johnny Unitas was once quited as saying, "You make your own luck." I believe there is alot of truth to that.

No apology needed, I'm probably a little large for a litter box though. :)

Help her get her CDL, you won't have problem finding a ride, there are several fleet owners looking for husband/ wife teams. LOL Can she pee in a jug?LOL

Cheri, Those are two really spot-on posts.

I tried to rate you some more for teaching your kids how to shoot but the system wouldn't let me. Good parenting, kids who are educated about firearms are much more comfortable to be around.

Greg, I do not advocate the kind of dumping you have insinuated me with. You have accomplished a nice thread drift however. Recipe: 1-Throw arrows 2-Rant 3-Change subject 4-Tell a story Hey, you obviously have some great experience that you are willing to share.Thanks for that. Can you share...

Got it.

>Yea, get the jug and don't forget to be a real trucker and >either dump the contents out your window when it is half >filled or throw it out the window while your at a rest stop. I find people that do that disgusting. I do not do that. Perhaps you would like to offer an alternative instead...

OK I am retarded but I clicked all the links below the user names (more than once on more than one username) and I am still not able to rate. Heavy sigh.

Definitely gloves for fueling, and wet wipes for any time your hands get dirty. otherwise you will get dirty hands which get the wheel dirty, shifter, soon you will be chasing dirt all over because you did not keep your hands clean. If you have a microwave you can keep a lot of food on hand that...

Thanks for clarifying that JB. Personally I feel that is a little high, but certainly possible. To be home for the weekend (Indianapolis) I am shooting for 1,000. You could get 1,800 for the week if you stayed out but how sustainable is this considering the 34 hour reset. I don't want to be...

Don't try driving for Panther with a "comic book". They are "by the book" and you will be history with a black mark. If you want to be a sneaky driver, perhaps you should stick to the "cb" and stay off the internet. You may consider that a legitimate company may watch this site. PS I hope Jack...

Yes, different Panther customers use different mileage calculators. You must consult the map and determine your route (with cost and time)before you accept the load.
