    Some new drivers

    At Panther we have stories like this all the time. garbage loads followed by slammin loads. I take anything I can make a profit on. It might not be much but a fast nickle beats a slow dime any day. Just this afternoon my brother told me one of his drivers turned down L.A. to Detroit because the...

    Boy am I happy

    Glad you are enjoying life at home as much as we are life on the road. Watch your tv and I will watch the sun set on snow covered mountain and deer bounce through the snow :)

    What should I be doing

    H&R dont know squat about trucking so I agree stay away from them, find someone who does nothing but trucking. You dont go to KFC for a cheese burger. As for the freight. It is slow right now and not the time to jump in. Doesnt matter what part of the forum it is in the question was "Is it a...

    The Thread You Can Use When You Need To

    I woke up this morning to a white blanket on the ground, first real snow I've seen this year. I was hoping it would wait a little longer before coming. It reminded me of something I read years ago and so I went searching for it again and posted it here. Hope I edited it enough to get past the...

    Fleet owners and home time

    I have 3 trucks (I am lead driver in one) and 2 vans and I sent a solo driver home to recover fully from a bout with pneumonia and I am feeling it. But it was the right thing to do. My brother on the other hand has 12 trucks, doesnt drive anymore and likes his teams out 4 weeks before going...

    My intent was never to upset the board

    I am kinda new here too Doug and there are parts of the rules I wasnt clear on. But, a quick PM to a Mod now and then gets a response explaining. Did you try this approach or shoot straight to the open forum? I have read over your posts and while it may or may not have been your intention...

    Anyone ever lose a load because they had a pet in the truck with them?

    Pulling up to a nuke plant in the middle of the night got us a half dozen armed soldiers pointing guns at the truck. I was about to need fresh boxers, But when one walked over and asked for our paperwork he was the nicest fellow in the world. Quick glance in the sleeper and boxes was our search...

    If you use PrePass

    No system is perfect but my alerts better the chances alot. We dont ride up front much but the times we do I find the alerts worth having. It is also good to get your attention to avoid those times you just didnt notice the sign saying open or closed (come on guys and gals we all miss the sign...
