    Freaking out

    I hope that was a typo and you meant to say it gets 18 mpg. My Straight Trucks get better milage. I have never told anyone to bail on a contract but if he gets 8 mpg in a cargo van RUN!!!!!!! You would need a .40 FSC just to pay the fuel and while they are out there, the average across the board...

    If you use PrePass

    I cant imagine anyone sitting in the jump seat when they are supposed to be in the sleeper (*wink*wink*) but to counter this problem I installed a POI file in my garmin giving me audio and visual alerts 3.5 miles before I hit a weigh station. This way should the time come when I might find...

    As a van owner at panther I can tell you he is not PAYING 80 cpm he is GETTING it. Looking at your post I would say you are on a 60/40 split. taking that into account you should only see the 40% deduction and the AIG deduction from now on. You should be able to figure you own pay like this...

    co driver info

    We run with a 60/40 split. the lead driver gets60% and pays for his fuel, gets all the extras (FSC EM DH L/O ect.) and pays his co-driver .25cpm on all loaded miles. Any Panther driver knows the D/H and E/M pay doesnt cover the fuel so we are not gonna tell the Lead he has to split this with the...

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

    I started driving working for my brother and he knew when I started that Taco and Paco would be with me. Panther also was aware of the boys in the truck. About 3 months after I started I was in Rocket City at the Ammo Depot and they wouldnt let me in to get the load. Panther had neglected to...

    I'm going crazy

    Broker, while it is true that you need to take time to learn about any business before getting into it, you can't learn to swim just by talking and reading about it. You have to get your feet wet sooner or later. After 3 years I am buying my 4th unit and wouldnt change a thing. I love it out...

    How much money do you make?

    I drive for my brother and just bought a couple cargo vans to start my own little fleet. My brother has 12 trucks and does not like us discussing what kind of money we make with other people. I have never seen it as a "state secret" and dont mind talking about what we do and how much we make. As...

    Belt

    I have an 05 in the shop now getting a new engine ($12,000 installed :( ) It started with belts getting chewed. The crank pulley finally went out and we had it replaced. 3weeks later the pulley went again with damage to the crankshaft. This is a known issue at chrysler but they wont recall...
