    Uhm, yeah. Click here for the gory details I will be sending an e-mail to the fine folks at Panther regarding all this, just in case they don't read these boards. :D

    The "R Word", Going Green, Fuel Costs & Expediting

    It's not. Right now we have the top economists saying a recession is probably coming, if we're not already in one. Probably? If? Nothing like a firm commitment from the experts. Either it's coming or it ain't, and if we're in one already, they should know it already. Every time we've had a...

    spendthrift wants the job

    That's a pretty weak article, with an agenda of its own. It's more of a gay bashing disguised as Clinton bashing. It compares her earmarks to other presidential candidates, in numbers of earmarks, to illustrate the point of just how wildly she spends. That should be bad enough but it comes...

    Fuel prices and the writers strike

    If you look at the fuel prices here as viewed within a fishbowl, then yeah, we are exempt from the high price of price per gallon. But it's not that simple. As has been stated, look at the base price. We pay the same for fuel here as they do everywhere else (it's a world market) with the...

    Fuel prices and the writers strike

    A trucker's strike? Yeah, that sounds great. But hey, wait, you know, before we try and tackle something that difficult, let's do something easy, sort of to get warmed up. Let's get all the Wal Mart employees unionized. If you can do that, they you've got at least a gossamer's filament of hope...

    Load Or No Load

    It's really not like that. Before they send the load offer via the QC the make you "aware" on the load, meaning, they put you on the load in the computer. They do that to prevent another dispatcher from offering the same load to someone else at the same time, which could result in, among other...

    Old posts

    Taking pictures or listening to old music is a solitary activity. It may or may not be enjoyable to those you force (or dupe) into viewing those pictures, or made to listen to the old music just because you find it enjoyable. You mean like the one that said, "Not a good idea to bring back old...

    Tolls

    If you get a run from Maine to Virginia, it'll be a dozen or more tolls. Why not use one field per trip, and plug in the total tolls for that trip?

    San Diego

    Of course there are. Not everyone, I'm sure, as some people have jobs where they must be on their feet all day, but a lot of them sit.

    Old posts

    That happens with thread bumps. Many forum boards have rules, or even software that makes it so, that you cannot reply to a thread if it is older than xx days. I'm thinkin' it's probably a good idea for here, too.

    Where did it go?

    What about positive slander? :p Incidentally, slander is is oral, libel is written.

    Panther Drivers Council

    Contact your team leader and a few other things won't work with Firefox. Wow, neither does clicking on the Driver Web link. Just now discovered that one. When I want to go to the Driver Web page, I just login directly to that page, instead of going through the Owner page. Moot, get a login...

    Panther Drivers Council

    Go the Panther driver Web site <Panther Expedited Services, Inc.> and enter your login and password. If you don't have one, call Safety. I think the login is the last 6 numbers of your SS#. At the top of the page is the menu: Driver Council, Messaging, Submit Message to Rep And you'll be...

    Do you have a favorite truck stop?

    Flying J doesn't take Comdata because of the years-long legal battle they have had with each other. Comdata wants Flying J to install Comdata's card readers (Comdata owns nearly 90% of the card reader market), and Flying J wants Comdata to accept, and properly process, the Flying J Fleet Cards...

    Panther Drivers Council

    I have nothing but respect and admiration for the members of the Driver Council. I have kept a close eye on the Action Items, who proposed the suggestion, and who is in charge of implemented them. I've watched closely the items that are yet to be implemented, and the ones that have been...
