    Heading to Panther

    Getting to FL is not usually an issue it is a problem getting a load out unless you have a reefer. There are a lot of complaints about Panther so hopefully you looked into them to make sure they are the company for you.

    How to get around sales tax for your truck?

    If you jump down to the tax topic section I posted a thread called EO saved me $1100. I had found an older thread on here about tax exemptions by accident and couldn't find it again. The tax guy listed the states that have the exemption and I mentioned some of the hoops you have to jump through...

    Rates for CV's

    I am just worried I will cause problems for myself being that I have not been there very long and it is mostly curiosity so I can learn more about the business and make a more educated decision. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    Rates for CV's

    Thank you it is what I was thinking because sometimes they call and say they are bidding on a load going from A to B will I run it for X. It seemed to me they are trying to see how low they can bid and still make something. On the other side if they have a load already they tell me it is X...

    Rates for CV's

    I have not asked yet because I don't want them to take it as I think they are stealing. I am curious how they are able to make money on freight if they are paying the majority to the driver then have to pay office personnel. I am also working to make as much as I can and want to make sure I am...

    Rates for CV's

    I am wondering because if I am supposed to get a certain percentage of the load but I get offers instead is it because I am getting shorted or have the rates dropped so low the company knows we can't run that cheap. I was hoping one of the gentlemen that run a company or a driver that knows for...

    Rates for CV's

    Well when I did the search and I can't find anywhere on here where a company posted the rates they are getting. Please post the link or search term you used where you were so easily able to find this information that you responded the way you did. I guess it was really easy for you. Posted...

    Hazmat question?!

    I thought you only had to placard the vehicle if the hazmat is a reportable quantity which varies based on the material. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    Mac 19 works if you are looking at the area you are in but I have only had it work about 10% of the time if I look up another zip code. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    Need advice on a 'supposed' seat belt ticket in Texas

    They more likely have a bench warrant out which means if you are in that town and get pulled over they will take you to the city holding cell and you will bail out for a couple hundred dollars. They are not going to extradite you from another state since it is a huge hassle. The other thing to...

    This Has To Be Answered

    So instead of JD Clark saying you are not doing enough work which could imply he thought this driver was lazy he tried to do it in a manner that could keep the driver from having hurt feelings and you have an issue with that. Why does it matter the end result is the same? I am not sure why you...

    Higher Down Payments

    I am not going to lie and say I read every word of the contract but it was made clear to the guy doing the financing that it would be used for business by my wife and I. I looked through the contract to check for any business use issues but found none. If I hear otherwise I will mention it here.

    Hyper Grounding

    Hyper grounding in simple terms is a way to ground your vehicles systems more effectively. You only need wires and connectors to do it yourself, you just find different things to ground like the engine and tranny mounts.

    What do you like and dislike?

    I like that the company seems to care that I make money, I don't like having to talk to 4 different people about the same issue and getting 3 1/2 different answers. The one girl gets 1/2 a credit because it was close to what the other said, she just left out all the important details.

    Panther truth

    The other issue is it seems in my experience that companies get an attitude when you book your own freight. I hope my company just views it as I am out here to work and I am making them money without them lifting a finger, judging by some of the responses I got when I was working on getting my...

    Indiana Court Rules That You Cannot Prevent Illegal Entry By Policel

    Cops entering your house illegally are no longer law abiding and have become a criminal since they are breaking the law and could be treated the same. I get that they don't want somebody deciding that the police don't have a right to enter his house based on his limited legal knowledge and then...
