    no loads after oriention????????????

    I know a girl who speaks 9 languages fluently, but writing or typing most of them is quite another thing. We have people right here in this forum who were born and raised in this country, been speaking English all their lives, some were in the military, and have a tough time posting a readable...

    no loads after oriention????????????

    Some loads are gonna be bad. That's just how expediting is. And now, with the rates coming down because of competition, you won't see the really high paying loads like you used to with Landstar (Ranger?) or FedEx. He'll get some short runs, but he'll also get some long ones. Maybe he's...

    no loads after oriention????????????

    Hey, I like Domino's pizza! Like their wings, too. Alborada, nope, don't know what it means. You might tell your half-Italian, half-unsolved hubby to take every load he is offered for about the first 2 months, at least. That way he'll get a better idea of which loads are good and which ones...

    What is your cost 2 run per mile?

    And another quick Google search shows the same exact picture on dozens, perhaps hundreds of Web sites, including Bolivian-owned sites. Yup. ahem... Beeeee that as is may..... Oh, the irony, the irony. You come here with a load of self-proclaimed experience, then ask the most uber newbie...

    no loads after oriention????????????

    There ya go. Start typing in Russian. That'll shut 'em up. LOL But you are in America now, so you really need to be speaking Spanish. :D Actually, from your screen name, I thought you were Spanish, or rather, Mexican, as Alborada is the name of a Mexican television mini series. So, I have to...

    Republican meltdown??

    Those two scary things about Ron Paul are indeed scary, but, fortunately, he cannot act alone. There is only just so much damage any one president can do, for the most part. If he hits hard on the IRS, maybe IRS reform will happen. With a National Sales Tax or a Flat Tax, the IRS in its current...

    Team straight truck home time

    It makes very little difference between Ohio and Michigan. Lots of loads pass through both places, and once in a while you'll even get one that delivers close to where you live. Certainly, if you live the midwest freight lane states you'll have the opportunity to get home more often, even if...

    no loads after oriention????????????

    He's probably sitting in on the wrong side of the Panther parking lot. If he'd move to the other side he'd be on a different board and would be considered for loads, instead of being passed up for loads that he's actually sitting closer to because he's on the wrong board. (OK, an exaggeration...

    Republican meltdown??

    Yes, that's exactly what the party has come down to. Look at the choice of candidates. Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum, or the 'tard. Take yer pick. If the Republican Party had any sense they'd just up and kidnap Ron Paul and give him the cape.

    I live a good pun. What the different between a light bulb and a pregnant woman? You can unscrew a light bulb.

    Hey Panther cargo van drivers

    Well, a daily average, like 3 loads on Thursdays, 4 loads on Fridays, how many Thursdays and Fridays do you need to get a representative example? And by the time you get enough of them, you're into a different quarter where those old numbers aren't relevant. How many loads you do on a Thursday...

    Protect yourself online

    Most WiFi networks at places like truck stops and hotels will have 2, 3, 4 or more access points on different channels, and whichever access point gives the strongest signal relative to your laptop is the one you'll connect through. I can pull into a truck stop parking lot, say, a Flying J...

    Plagiarism

    That's because a large number of people in Mississippi are on public assistance, and therefore must choose cheap food to eat. In most cases, the cheapest food is the highly processed foods containing refined white sugar and refined white flour that contain an overabundance of carbs. Excess carbs...

    FedEx C C Snitches

    Absolutely. I recently transferred a load to a Panther Elite team van, a Sprinter. The load had to be broken down off the skid and loaded into the Elite van as individual boxes due to no forklift available to transfer the skid. I wondered aloud to the dispatcher if the other van had enough load...

    Plagiarism

    I remember once in high school English class the teacher was talking about double negatives. Said something about how a positive and a negative equals a negative, and two negatives equal a positive, but that two positives never equal a negative. I just looked at her and said, "Yeah, right."

    Plagiarism

    Being purposely disrespectful, or merely lazy, the result is the same - disrespect towards others. If that's what you think you are, then that's all you'll ever be. I, however, have a vastly different opinion of you. I don't recall ever reading (or rather trying to read) a post from you that...

    Plagiarism

    They may not do it just to be rude, but that's the result, nonetheless. Rude behavior doesn't necessarily have to be done on purpose, it only has to be done without regard for others. Ever pass someone on the Interstate only to have them utterly destroy your night vision by flooding your rear...
