From memory - last week: 2 loads out of WA 2 loads out of ID 2+ loads out of MT 3 loads out of OR 2 loads out of UT 0 loads out of WY 2 loads out of NV 2 loads out of CO 10+ loads out of CA Can't remember what cities they all came out of, or where they all were going, but at this point it...

I think Panther has definitely positioned themselves to make lots of money. I’ll take a “wait and see†attitude - and hope that translates to all of their O/Os as well. I think they are in a position to help sway the rates to go either way, but I can’t imagine them undercutting their...

themagicoen, I think it absolutely awesome to be so happy with your carrier that you post their praises! Kudos to you - and as a driver, I really am happy that you think so highly of P2!!! Absolutely awesome!!!!! Please, in case I sound like I am insulting you - or Panther - that is as far...

Sold for $7 - $8 Million? Seems like P2 got a great price. Con-way Brokerage, a separate operating division involved in asset and non-asset based truckload sales, will remain with Con-way as part of the Con- way Transportation reporting segment. Proceeds from the sale will be between $7...

>>>>>>>>Some are close....but not at 100 percent. Again, if that was the case, everyone would be there. That would include the experienced pros and the whiners. Good luck on the start up. I am sure many will be watching.<<<<<<<<< Dave, I totally agree that your "not 100%" is right. Even if...

***Do you have a specific source for the following statistics you mention?:*** Sure. With a fairly broad customer base, I see available loads all day long. Between all of our accounts, the amount of available load offers for expedite freight fell drastically (approx. 75%) after the first of...

I disagree with popular opinion and agree with slinger44. Currently, freight overall is only down approx. 50% from the same period last year. This 50% figure is actually up from being down approx 75% for the first 4 or 5 months of this year. In other words, overall tonnage of freight is down...

Not sure how much experience you have, but I am guessing by your post than you are relatively new to this business. No one likes to wait 6 hours at a dock – but because it happens regularly and because you committed to the load, driving while you are tired is something that drivers – all...

Doing a little math, it seems that vans are still coming away with a decent break with the new fsc formula. .09x13=1.17 Current fuel prices being 2.45, you're paying 1.28 for fuel. You have it even better if you're running a gas van. More like 1.10. I'd like to know what it is for straight...

Another point is that each driver who hires on with a carrier that hauls hazmat is required to pass the standard DOT hazmat test for drivers prior to employment. AFAIK, truck load carriers give you the answer sheet right along with the test when you take it so its a pretty fair assumption that...

RE: Is This Forum For Everyone, Or Just An Elite F Before entering the expediting business, Phil Madsen worked in the securities and financial planning arenas as well as the computer field. Active in politics since 1992, Madsen founded the Independence Party of Minnesota that same year. In 1998...

A man was preparing to take a healthy "Number 2" in a turnpike restroom. After plopping on the seat, he heard a voice from the next stall say, "Hi, how are you?" The man was modest, definitely not the type to start a conversation from a bathroom stall with strangers. He wondered what evil intent...

A friend of mine recently went through something very similar. He got his money by contacting "Michigan department of wages and labor" or some such thing. They did all the work for him and they work pretty quick and its free. I haven't been able to get a hold of him yet today but I will get...

Well, for one thing, its a whole lot easier to be otr in a straight truck than it is in a semi with a 53' trailer. For the driving part of it, after driving a t/t, driving a s/t is like driving around in a sports car - although I think I appreciate the s/t most when I want to eat or park it for...

Thanks for posting this. So far, I have not had any Canada runs but am seriously looking into this issue.
