Ok, I am here at the flyin hook in Texarkana. I can't p/u a load until Tuesday in Grand Prairie, TX going to Lexington, KY. Anyone here?? Anyone know of some cool parks to visit near this area or Dallas? Good places to eat near Dallas? just wonderin:confused:

Anyone watched any good movies (new releases) lately? just wondering. I got Rush Hour 3 and it's not bad.

Ok, how does one go about getting the vehicle's depreciation. I have a 2007 Ford E 350 with 143,000 on it. Also on another subject, does the government reimburse you for all those little bank (comdata charges) and how much does the government reimburse you on a cell phone? (My company requires...

I'm creating this thread because as of lately, I've been having problems with my macro 8 "repositioning". I'm wondering if anyone else is having problems getting the Akron/Cleveland board to show on their qualcomms also when I'm in Chicago it doesn't show either. It's hard to make an informed...

I would like to start this thread by asking people to please pay attention while you are driving. While driving across the US, I have seen too many accidents. Every day I check the accident report on my Sirius Sat radio and it just seems like there are more and more hit and runs, and more and...

Ok, when is the insanity going to end?! Why do the fuel prices keep climbing. Corporate gas companies have to be stopped. Diesel and gas is way to high. The news is saying that people are going under. Ok, either government has to put a cap on gas prices or we are going to become like a 3rd...

Ok....I am an internet newbie when it comes to all the abbreviations and am probably not the only one who doesn't understand what OMG, IMO or some of these abbreviations mean so I have created this thread so us users can better understand what they mean. Would anyone care to share on this...

I know the new board positioning thing is supposed to help us drivers, but it hasn't helped me one bit. I know Atlanta is a board and I am currently at the J off of I 75 exit 201. I macro 32'd but not on the Atlanta board here. I used to be when I sat here. Here's my beef: I'm sorry...

Any of ya'll had experiences with hillariously funny roadsigns? I was going up I65 today and just to the south of mm86 on the East side there is a roadsign which I may have read wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the sign said "Used Cows for Sale". Another instance, I was going down US30 when you...

Just got done with a load going to Saltillo, MS that dropped this morning. Wow, listening to those thunderstorms sure did make me sleep a little easier...It would have been better if it wasn't for the darn sinuses. Hoping this wam air will clear me up a bit, but at least I don't have to idle...

Hi there. Well It looks like another Superbowl Win by the Patriots. It's up to Eli with 1 min 28 secs....Can he pull off the upset? It almost seems unfair to the other teams that the Patriots have so much talent. We might as well give next year's trophy to them too! I just hope my...

I know it's tax season, and being that this is my first year as an O/O what do ya'll end up paying on your taxes? Is it a substantial amount, small amount? I have saved some money for this (and my reciepts of course), but haven't got my 1099 from panther yet. I was just wondering if ya'll...

:)Ok. I am curious as to whether or not Nitrogen is available for use in tires on Cargo Vans. Does anyone currently have this on their vehicle and if so what are the benefits? Is there any "real" difference between the two? IE: Better gas mileage or a smoother ride? Just curious to the...

Finally heard the good news today that Panther's Macro 8 is being changed. I called in to get my brd position since i didn't have a satelite sig and heard this from a dispatcher. And with the new system we panther drivers should be able to find our board postion automatically, and get an...

I am siting here in Effingham completely dumbfounded as to where in the heck the Colts defensive playcalling went. I know it doesn't hdselp that Freeney is out but damnit they should have blitzed the whole game. WHERE WAS THE DAGGONE PRESSURE ON PHILIP RIVERS? It seems like the defense just...

As an o/o I bought my 2007 Ford E350 Extended in February 07. I have driven the Chevy Express 2500 and 3500 for another owner, but I haven't driven any dodge vans. My current van has 113,000 miles on it and the only problem that I have noticed is that it seems like it shimmies in the back (in...

Even though I am a Colts fan and I hate the Patriots, any true football fan will be plugged into the game tonight to either watch the Giants spoil the Pats unbeaten record or the Pats walk into NFL history. Even though I hate the Pats I do have to give them some Kudos for being unbeaten in the...

My biggest challenge as I first got into expediting was trying to find the hot freight zones. When I first started driving for Panther I decided to drive for a fleet owner. Elliott IV out of Kankakee. Nice guy to drive for and was patient w/ me. He may (or may not) be one of the highest...

Just a question. Tis the season for slow freight, but I am wondering if there are any other internet sites besides getloaded.com and uship.com i have perused both of these internet sites and can find nothing for cargo vans. Only 45,000 lb frieght for reefers and dry vans, etc. Just wondering...

Ok. I'm just sitting here trying to figure out what the heck to do in this miserable weather. Any good websites out there to visit? ShawnF 11997
