    Panther Sitting at Truck Stops

    We aren't hurting Greg, we didn't go from four trucks to fourteen in three years because we was lucky. Panther has been very good to us. Some people just don't see the big picture as to loads sometimes. I have seen people turn down 1.25 a mile plus .35 FSC from Laredo to Mi. Then the driver gets...

    You can't train a driver over the phone. That is why I like to hire drivers that have been in the business for some time or put them with someone who has been expediting for six months.

    This was my first and last time I put a newbie in a truck solo. I try to always put the with a lead driver in a team truck. I do feel that a lead driver should make more money than a co driver. I remember when I started out Roger and Bill Hunt paid their Co drivers 13% to start. Times was...

    I would have to disagree on that one Dave. We put a Newbie in our one truck solo, it was a nightmare. It was the first time we ever had to give money back to a customer because a driver was 2 hours late on a load. I would rather have a driver that has been in the business for six months than...

    After 43 years on the road, I'm quitting!

    43 years in the business is a long time. I bet you have about 5 or 6 million miles under you belt on the highways. Good luck and enjoy spending time with your wife.

    Panther Sitting at Truck Stops

    I must say some are sitting maybe because they are cherry picking. Our trucks are sitting some, but that is because drivers are turning down 450 mile loads putting them in a better area like Chicago. I know what your thinking. What are they thinking?

    Fedex?

    Linda And Bob I'm glad your in White Glove now, as you have always done a lot for the Expedite community over the years. The Caffee's set a good example of how to be successful Expediters with a positive attitude. My hats off to you and Bob.

    Years in the business

    My father and my uncle John started driving at the age of 18, back then you didn't have to be 21. My father died at 61 getting out of his TST Expedited truck trying to make it to a phone because he had chest pains. Sadly he died in his doorway on New Years eve 2001. My uncle John died from bone...

    I want to set up the Expediters Hall of Fame the right way.

    Doug Anderson (AKA Travels) was never asked to be in the EHOF. That is something Doug made up just like all the screen names he has made up.

    Years in the business

    Phil, I'm still a rookie to be honest, compared to my father and my uncles. My father and my uncle John was the greatest drivers I ever seen. Sadly they past away at a young age. They never boasted about the years they had behind the wheel. I would say they both had over five million miles or...

    Years in the business

    So how many years does everyone have in the transpotation industry? Dreamer made a good point about this in the EHOF post.

    You think? Fifteen years in transpotation is really not that long. I have a total of 25 years in transpotation, but only 18 years in Expedite.

    You have to have fifteen years in this business to get into the EHOF.
