Hi Steve, I needed to post been awhile,just to buusy to grt online,Will send ya a PM. Dave

this has been a very good discussion,the panther policy was well described by turtle,however the most telling thing is the original poster has not been back which prolly means that his lack of attention to detail has put him in the fix he's in at panther. it is always your responsibility to...

not always true,the example I gave in first post , has happened 3 times at panther,although as general rule panther does not want mixed endorsements in a truck that regularly does hazmat, they will do what is necessary for them to cover the load.

correct. you may get a hazmat load but it will be switched before the hazmat drivers hos for that time period is up. not much use if only one of you is hazmat certified, example, you get a load offer for hazmat philly to kansas city, but your switch is in harrisburg,pa, you get paid philly to...

Jhead, sent you a PM check it out.

I don't understand , why were your drivers on hold for a pod? why are they not after the change? What changed in the process that eliminated the phone call? Truthfuly it shouldn't make any differance if you are paid before or after the del. if you are managing your funds in a business like manner.

I can not remember a single time going from southbound i-69 to i-465 east bound, that I have Not been passed or had a t/t tailing me on this curve. I take it at a safe speed. This is just one place of many that are the scenes of accidents because of plain carless driving! No excuse for the...

Greg is correct about carrier qualifications. I'm not clear on what a van can carry other then doing escort services and possibly documents. Carrying weapons ,ammo, and explosives requires a sealed area not accessiable(sic) by the drivers. Perhaps there are more loads then I've seen that a van...

we drove for A.Blair a few years back. At that time 1.05 + .10 fsc. for s/t. We were told it was lower then previous rates but we would be doubling up on loads and making more because of it. The actual fact was loads paid around .70 and doubling up brought it up to the contract rate plus stop...

Sounds like it's time for you to move on -- the grass is always greener LOL

What effect, if any, does it have on your truck and sleeper purchase plans? Will the integrated sleeper disappear with Bentz? We looked at and compared two units one a M-2 with a 100 in Benz sleeper , the other a Columbia with a 120 in AA sleeper. after all was said and done the class...

we use dish tv.

There was no quesstion in my post Dave. They do have Canada qualified drivers.

I obviously did not explain enough of the details, all 4 offers required 150 to 250 mi dh,with no bonus pay so all were unprofitable. Duh!

add I-95 va n of ex33, 4DOT, 4 straight trucks, Dot said they are catching a lot of st truck log violations. got our "9" sticker.

Turtle, A big thank you for the transflow site. We down loaded it last tue.while in Norfolk and it was a life saver as I have never been able to find a scanner closer than the Pilot north on I-64. Wish Panther would make this easier to find for all of its drivers. Also as a personal note...

Dave, I agree with you ,now my penny in the pond. Have had 4 swap offers from Romuls to Canada in last 6wks,all were from south Texas and wanted us to carry the last 150mi or less, all the bs but no miles, the answer is always no. If you want the first 1500 mi you should be willing to do...

Of course you are right Moot. After listening to the virtual speech 3 times I got this from it: you must go and stay at the VT the all knowing computor sends you to or face being bumped an unlimited number of times at a VT you choose. (good luck at some of these hot spots ) You must be within...

would be nice , I would add also this should be available while under load .
