A good free web based site is milemaker.com It is put out by Rand MacNally and it says commercial vehicle ready. I use it all the time and it has been fantastic. Door to door. Another one is truckmiles.com on this one you can put a lot more info in like your fuel mileage and load info and it...

Well they finally sent a fleet message about this over the c link today. Not much time huh?

Well said Dynamite.

Yes they have been asked and NO they don't have any alternatives. They point blank said they don't care or have any advice on what to do to help with this new fee they are imposing.

Yes it will Leo. Very true.

No company is charged to use Comdata. Comdata gets their money from the fees of loading the money and atm fees and cash advance fees. Many companies including big semi trucking companies use this advance tool to help keep their drivers moving by giving them the option of advances to help with...

Well it was asked in the other thread in this about this 5% fee being a breach of contract. I have since found out that it will no be becuase they are making the owners sign admendoms to thier contracts for this or be terminated if they don't. Sounds like it's a do or don't situation. A lot of...

No problem Fr8 Shaker I apologize if I took it the wrong way!

LOL Nightcreacher that is a long time to hold onto a memory!

Yes I fully understand Dave. Have been in the biz long enough to know. I just get so aggravated when some idiot on here has to make personal comments about me trying to do something. I don't come on here hardly anymore because of it. Thanks

Fr8 Shaker I am Not trying for any popular vote and you need to quit being a person who attacks without provoacation. I know other companies farm out loads too. I was with Roberts express and then FedEx for 10 yrs, then Conway, then panther with the buyout and now Tri=State. All I quoted was...

Very true Dave they were losing money and accts. because when the drivers were turning down loads they would have to farm them out to other companies like panther and fedex anyway so they finally got fed up with it and sold it. Can't say as I really blame them either.

Well one thing to remmeber is Fenway did NOT go to Conway and offer them a price. The upper ups on the regular Conway side wanted to sell off the expedited division and they went to Fenway and offered it to them. From what we were told by some of our friends that worked in the offices, only two...

Hi ya'll haven't been on much lately, been really busy thank the lord. I'm looking for the 2 guys that drove the big green Century Class truck. If I remember right they are not in it anymore. If you guys are still on here please pm me I would like to talk to you about something. Thanks

Hey Phreak, we picked up a load in Seattle and came across I90 and I saw you at the rest area in SD getting the tow truck hooked up. Thought that was your truck! Sorry to hear about all this happening. Happy belated B-Day and hope things work out for you tomorrow with the insurance company.

RE: Panther Rates on their own banner ad tells the Well let me clarify a couple of things. We would def. NOT ave sat for a week anywhere. That was their first mistake. In this type of business you need to be more proactive yourself. Second, if you are making a per mile rate then that is just...

RE: Interstate Weather Forcasts and Tire Chain Inf Another good one I use is weatherunderground.com

RE: Panther Rates on their own banner ad tells the The only problem with paying a per mile rate instead of the normal percentage rate is you don't make the same amount of money.The reason why that team wouldn't relocate to El Paso is because they weren't getting any money and wating time to...

D unit Never had any problems getting a load out of Laredo. Usually get one out the same day or next day. Crazy to d/h 1500 miles out of there.

Well when we were with FedEx about 3 years ago we had a dispatcher ride with us for a week. And on some of your points your right. They cannot fully understand in a week what we go through all year long, but it does help them gain an insight into what goes on. We actually got a load that...
