This is nothing new, back in the Roberts Express days there was a team that owned a pup trailer and used it for years as a D unit. I would always see them over at the Flying J in Indianapolis and they said did great pulling a pup trailer.

I don't know, I don't shop at Wal-mart anymore as they are part of the problem with hurting US companies. Most of the stuff they have isn't even made in the USA, it come from China, or somewhere outside the US.

No need too Moot. :) I thought the same thing at first too.

ABF doesn't own Panther. Panther is owned by Arkansas Best Corp (ABC)

This is a very good move as Louis Schneeberger is the right person for the job and knows the Panther system already. If ABC had brought someone in from outside of Panther Expedited Services, I feel that this would have us looking at our long term relationship with Panther Expedited Services...

Expediters Services is a good company as they have helped people with the chance to own their own truck.

I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. :)

Turtle, I don't know where she thought I was bad mouthing her. 1st off her or her husband have never drove for Mayfield Express LLC. So I don't know how she could speak on my business practices. Lets see jumping from one truck owner to another is bad business practices. Bashing a fleet owner...

Bernieh48 You're owner is wrong. Andy Clark was in Seville yesterday and it was his choice to leave Panther to go back into banking. If you're owner told you John Elliott just bought Mayfield Express LLC for $8,000,000,00 would you think it was true too? We have 23 trucks, but I don't think the...

No, to be honest it was Andy Clarke choice. Andy step down from Panther to go back into banking. That is what Andy did before becoming CEO of Panther Expedited Services.

ARJtransport we offer a service to people like you called Mayfield Management LLC. It's division of Mayfield Express LLC that works with fleet owners like yourself. We do all the paperwork, the hiring of drivers and keeping the trucks moving. You can learn more about us by going to Home Page

I was shocked when you and Kirk told that story to me. I will say that you guys was are one of the top three teams I have EVER had in the last twenty years. I never say who was number one, that way I don't offend the great people who drove for us. I will say that Misskat can back a Tractor...

I was talking about in a D unit Misskat. Yes, when you returned our tractor it was spotless and you could eat off the floors. Sorry sometimes I need slapped up side the head to remember things. Tricia says Hello we are getting a few more trucks to add to the fleet. No tractors.

Hi MissKat Miss ya I have been so busy as they are trying to tear down the Armory on the Grounds where I went to School.

Your bashing of Fleet owners is not very becoming of you Bernieh48. Not all fleet owners are bad. You drove for Ken Jackson and a few other very respectable owners in this business. I don't know what or who your mad at in this world, but this is not the Bernieh48 I know. Shame on you.

Contracts/leases are the best way to go. Get everything in writing so there is no misunderstanding down the road. Owners should take the time to go over the contract/lease with the contractor. Everything should be explained up front on paper in writing. What you want from them and what they want...

I went to Panther and seen Claude as he was still doing all of his Panther training. Yea, he has to sit threw all the class's the new drivers do when they come on with Panther too. We talked with Jeff Garra about the old days of Roberts Express and man was looking for DaveKc, Dreamer and...

Very Good Post and Very well said.

Bernieh48 What attitude? Please go don't go there with me.

Yes, your right it does. Making sure you're following the rules with the IRS is very important. I see nothing wrong with an owner charging a fee for a APU. Go read what the IRS says about providing tools or equipment to a contractor to do the job and you will change you mind. The IRS say's if...
