    One week old Newbie

    Glad to hear things went well for your first week. Also glad to hear you stood your ground with the misses. She'll learn sooner or later, that when you come home, you need your rest. It took mine about 3 weeks to learn that I wasn't going to let her push me around! (Sure hope she doesn't read...

    ...fish flies!

    Well, I'm back out on the road, after a week off from getting my van fixed. First load took me from Columbus, OH to Leamington, ON. When I got to the consignee, I noticed there was a "smell" in the air. While the guy was undloading me, I asked what the smell was, and he answered, "fish flies". I...

    12 Volt Air Conditioning and Portable Power

    Great information! I've "run some numbers", and it looks to me like either the Model MW1 or T154 would work great in a cargo van. Also gives me a few ideas on how to make one, and see how well it works. As far as the inverter unit goes, it would be less expensive to purchase the 1500watt unit...

    Dirty Truckers

    Drluvv, You should have stopped the driver(s) in question, and explained the horrors we expediters face, when they decide to be slobs. Just make sure they don't see which truck you get into in the parking area. :+

    Truck purchase horror story

    Sorry to see that your having so much trouble. I hope that your future is a little brighter. I've heard several horror stories over the past month or so, all related to owners signed on with Panther. I'm really starting to wonder if I should start looking elsewhere for another company to...

    Need laptop help NOW!!!!!!!!!!

    Well ... according to the Future Dial webpage, (www.futuredual.com), the Future Dial Suite is Windows 2000 and XP compatible, so it should work. Make sure they (Radio Shack) gave you the right software. I suggest going back to the store where you purchased it, and have one of the sales staff...

    Are we there yet?

    That's a great web site. I've always wanted to take a vacation where we'd just visit those types of places. For some reason, I can't get my wife to pack a bag and get in the car... oh well.

    Smells

    Just because someone considers themselves a "professional driver", does not mean they have any usable gray matter between their ears.

    Independent Contractor Route Rates

    If your doing this for a courier company, you'll be lucky to see $250.00/day. Most courier businesses wouldn't think of paying like an expedite company. I ran a "route" for my former employer, (from Dayton to Toledo then to Bryan, Ohio), everyday, with anywhere from 3 to 10 stops, and only got...

    Want to buy a Canon?

    Sounds like the guy selling a gun. He told everyone on the CB, he'd be over behind the building. Several drivers kept asking "how much?", and he kept adding to the story. He finally said $20.00, and he got someone to bit. He told the interested driver, that he would be behind the building, with...

    Pay problems

    I guess my question would be, is why Panther isn't stepping in and stopping this owner from screwing anyone else. I heard about another owner, signed on with Panther, who was doing the same thing to cargo van drivers. It seems to me that they (Panther), and any other company, wouldn't want any...

    Customer Service

    I can relate to this post... I worked in Customer Service/Tech Support for a large mailorder computer company, in the past. Just to get htis out of the way, I had the highest hangup rate, of any of the other people in the department. I figured I wasn't getting paid to listen to someone bitching...
