    TRIP LEASE

    Hes an employee, I get that part. Employee with his own or company truck? Were talking Trip Leases not driver contracts. Trip leases are standardized forms and can be used by employees and contractors.

    TRIP LEASE

    As others have said (they obviously know from experience) trip lease is a pretty simple procedure. davekc's answer was probably the closest and it covers about all the angles. senario: youd like to get home and your carrier cant help you out you then find a load on your own thru whatever...

    Best ST box size??

    Since youre considering bringing your wife along , then a smaller box - larger sleeper would be the way Id go. You will be sitting quite a bit of time and there's no substitute for quality of life. DO NOT assume you'll be able to live comfortably as a couple in a smaller unit. Specially if youre...

    How correct you are. That kind of mentality can get you into trouble in the "real world". Personally, I think it's ignorant to assume others are.

    Panther & Expeditors Services. Why so slow?

    The ONLY way to clear this up totally, [both of these stories] would be to hear from the owners directly. Unless we do, the whole thread is one big second and third hand [tale] story. I'd be a little wary of an explanation from a team who's bounced around three owners in one year. Isn't it...

    Truck Generator of the future!

    Wowser, this is the mother-load of answers ,GRACIAS !! Was not certain the Perkuet effect would apply. My wiring config errors were based on the fact I was ignorantly assuming Ohms Law series-/parallel+ was the way to go [dont ask :D] Having more than double the storage will probably be...

    Replacing batteries

    I was having bigtime problems with the OE batteries that came with my truck. After 3 years of use I got four of the Carrier PowerRush batteries. I was in at Carrier getting the reefer's compressor serviced and seen they had a sale going on. Even in the hottest of weather my 12V Artic Breeze AC...

    Panther & Expeditors Services. Why so slow?

    Don't look like we got anymore info than we had 1st day. Amazing that one day no one knows anything about this team and the next day being picked up by a forum member. How in the world would the pick-er-upper know the condition of the vehicle unless he was there upon arrival? You almost got to...

    Sorry there Lugnut , but I've used the software, as have quite a few members here. I doubt you're gonna find many drivers taking the positive spin as you have. [Actually, your post sounds like sumthin out of a product brochure] And no, training is not the problem. The software is just lousy...

    $1000 pizza

    :) Heck yeah it was :) Probably got away rather cheaply than compared to todays exchange. But you still remember that first bite. Knowing instantly it was nothing like you'd ever tasted and a texture you'll not forget. The funny thing about the beef is that little of it is actually...
