    Attn: Panther II drivers

    It really depends on what they mean by "pager capabilities". If they want to send you numeric (numbers only) messages, then that can be done on most phone. When a call is made, and you don't answer, the caller is given the option of leaving their callback number or a voicemail. The callback...

    Legally bound?

    The first thing you better do, prior to jumping off the bridge, is look at the contract, and see if it says anything about how much of the FSC goes to the person buying the fuel. My contract, with my carrier, does not have any information in it about who gets what. I agree, that the person...

    The Coke works, due to the amount of acid in the mixture. You can also use Coke to clean the soap scum from tile in your bathroom. As far as using dishwashing detergent to wash you vehicle, I've always heard that's not such a good idea. Carwash soap isn't has harsh as dishwashing detergent, and...

    ROLLING INTERNET

    If your going to use your cell phone, Verizon has the best system for accessing the internet. All you need is the software and a cable to connect to your laptop. Any Verizon store can help you out there. Their transfer rate is about the best you'll find. SprintPCS works the same way, but at a...

    LOTS OF MILES AT PANTHER 2 (11th week report)

    The honeymoon will be over in a few weeks. Then I'll be interested in reading what you have to say! I was in the same boat. I ran fairly well up until about the 3 month mark. All I can say, is I hope you've been saving some of that "dough". My 2 cents

    Batt/Inverter

    Hey! Just a quick question: Let's say your using two marine, deep cycle batteries and a 1500watt inverter. Could you plug a trickle charger into the inverter, and then attach the trickle charger to the batteries? If so, wouldn't that give you extended power time? If you can't do it, why? Just...

    what booth at Dallas truck show?

    Lawrence said, in another post, that he was going to the show, but I read it as he was going to visit, not work a booth.

    $5.00 border crossing fee?

    I bought a bridge decal several months ago, and all of that "mind game" stuff went away. One time, prior to getting my decal, I was told I needed to go inside, because I was being "fined". I went inside and the Customs officer inside just laughed. He said that the guy in the booth I went to...

    HazMat

    For some reason, I believe Express-1 does not require a HazMat endorsement. Please check to make sure.

    The (not quite) ultimate expediter

    What do you think it would look like with a 12' box mounted on the rear... http://www.legacysleepers.com/images/showcase/WRQJ0J78L12T7NPV.jpg That's a Volvo VN Series with a 186" ARI Legacy Custom sleeper. Gotta love it!

    All-Types Expediting

    The "alert" is right here. If someone is doing their homework prior to signing on with a carrier, they should be searching the forums to see what post have been made about a carrier.

    Nap Time II

    Let me give you the Reader's Digest verison. Keep checking your mirrors. When I went through training to get my CDL-B, they used the Smith System, and the one item they kept going over and over, was checking your mirrors. Right mirror, Dash, Left mirror, dash, Right mirror, Dash, Left mirror...

    RE: teaming a Sorry for the stupid question, but what is considered a "C" unit? Will just say that I'm asking "for the new people" on EO... ya, that's it... the new people. :o

    Some forums do allow the user to sort the messages from last to first, but all of them always sort the first to last.

    Anyone ever had a problem like this on a dock.

    I agree with Glen. Let dispatch handle the problem, but don't leave the dock until someone on your end tells you to, or, the consignee calls the law. Once you leave, your screwed. Having a number of years doing receiving, it sounds to me like the shipper and consignee are having somekind of...

    Naptime

    When I feel like I'm starting to get sleepy, I eat peanuts. The carbs give me a little boost of energy. You can also try beef jerky. It works much the same way.

    Are you a good judge of character?

    re-up?

    If the Chevy crapped out tomorrow, I'd be done with expediting. With gas prices the way they are, and my current need to be home (with my family) more then on the road, ... yep, I'd be gone.

    If I didn't know any better, I'd think that this information was coming from a Panther "insider".
