Yes Covenant and US Xpress are owned by the same family not sure if its brothers or what but i do remember reading that they are in the same family. While i feel bad for the drivers if it's true it does open up freight for those that do stay alive. My understanding is that the pumpkin patch is...

Barb, I talked with Jeff and Adam about this and it's being tested on just a couple of trucks to see how it works out. I am running a mirror program myself using what Panther is paying me on a per load and running another database using that program to see which way works best over time. I...

I have been hearing stories of snow storms this past week and while I have been on every highway on the Hawaiian island of Oahu I can assure you this is NOT TRUE you can even look it up on Urban Legends Reference Pages and you will not see any story about snow storms on Oahu this past week. I...

I would ask about keeping a bol on the swap again. I was told that if the first driver turned in a bol and his paperwork is turned in first and processed first when you turn yours in it throws up a red flag on your payables. Because the system shows paying the first driver already.

Other than collecting info from drivers we the Drivers Council were not involved in this change much. Because the program is controlled by what the Panther IT guys they are the ones that have to figure it out. At the next meeting we will have a lot to say about how we think it's working or not...

I spent $1050.00 for the unit and to have it installed. Maybe a little high but i wasnt about to buy a ladder to just throw it away and i know i am to lazy to carry it around. Just being honest with myself. I used to do the mirror mount thing but is was a pain in the butt high winds would move...

So he sat for 6 days but was offered a load not a very good load because of the dh but a load none the less. That load depending on where it was going may have got him in place for a great load. Bottom line when in Seville on the day after a class gets out you take what ever they offer to get...
