Not to worry. Doesn't matter if you're with Panther or not, every carrier will do something that drives you crazy. Panther can drive you crazy, and you can leave them and go to another carrier, and they'll drive you crazy, too, only they'll be doing different stuff to drive you crazy. You'll be...

True. When a FAST load crosses, the FAST card will match to the pre-approved information in the FAST load. But that's far from the only thing a FAST card is good for, or is used for. That's what the program was designed for, but it hasn't turned out that way. Very few shippers or consignees took...

Yup, that's exactly what I'm saying. Except, "uphill battle" may be an understatement.

I do have an issue with one of the rules, but I can't talk about it here in public. :(

I have an idea, when FedEx Custom Critical makes a change in their procedures, let's call the Forum The FECC Pages, cause the same thing happens. Or even better, let's call it The Suds43 Pages, cause there's a lot of Suds43 people whining about Panther. There, I feel better........LOL

LOL Finally. Now I can change my sig.

Your only option is to lay the blame for that squarely at the feet of God. Tell it to God. He sowed, now he's reaping. Or.... are you actually saying that God made a mistake when he created man? Uh, oh.

Hawk, the scary thing is, that comment didn't come from a dispatcher. It came from someone really high up in the food chain. In his defense, in the narrow context of getting the fastest load out, that advice is probably correct 95% of the time, provided drivers acknowledge one way or the other...

Quite frankly, I had assumed that when Driver Council members read comments here on EO about things that the Driver Council should be taking to the meetings, things like problems with procedures and possible remedies, that the Council members did, in fact, do just that. I wasn't aware that the...

Garmin, Tom Tom, most all of the GPS device makers, they all use essentially the same mapping and routing data (except the makers of PC Miler and CoPilot, who continue to insist upon using their own very flawed data). The thing about truck routes, clearances, HAZMAT, things like that, the vast...

If you'd have handed her $12.02 she'd have exploded.

Zip codes do not cross state and county lines, yet these load boards do, even though they are based on Zip Codes that don't. I'm confused. How can you tell which load board town-x is on, without going there and doing a macro 32? Doing a macro 8 and then not being able to see the boards that...

When I go into Canada, I hand them three copies of the Customs Invoice, one of which has the PARS sticker on it, and my FAST card. On A49 loads, I hand them the A49 sheet, and my FAST card. On one occasion I had a Canadian Customs officer ask to see my birth certificate, but I think she was just...

Read this carefully. Diesel engines produce virtually no carbon monoxide. Then, maybe, read it again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people. - Giordano Bruno ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carbon...

Bald Eagles cannot protect themselves, while humans have free will and can choose to protect themselves or not. As for abortion, and many other issues, there are far too many people spending far too much time and effort trying to tell other people what to do and how to think. The only person...

The O/O's have access to both the Owner's Web site and the Driver's Web site, and the drivers have access to the Driver's Web site.

Not true, on both counts. Sort of. They rob the air of oxygen, only insofar as any open burning flame consumes oxygen as part of the process, but the amount of oxygen consumed is proportional to the size of the flame. It would take a really big propane flame, burning for a long time, to rob the...

I was gonna put my carrier in my sig, but I can't get them to pay me the per-post advertising fees.

Have you talked with the folks at Panther about their needs for big trucks? Might be as good a place as any to start. A trailer with the Panther logo on the side is a hard thing to miss. They're out there, lots of them, but I have no idea if they need more or less than what's out there. As for...

Explain it to me, as you would a child, 'cause I'm stumped.
