We face this a lot as well, we try to map every run before we accept it. Fifty miles sounds about norm unless its a three hundred mile run. We had this happen a while ago we called to complain it was bad enough we were doing such a crappy run they were going to short us on it as well. We then...

Hadn't realized they were starting already. When we switched over from Conway we were told they were not planning to go paperless for over a year. Guess it was just a "Don't scare the new people." type remark. It will drive out many solo trucks who from what I understand already run out of hours...

RE: Would anybody be intrested in this... (Repost I've been kicking this around too. Not as elobrate as you have but more of a tailgaters sidekick setup. Pull out 48" grill dropdown legs to keep it secure the propane may be an issue but I think it can be worked around. Too many truckstops sell...

We turn down our share of bad loads. We will run some just to keep the dispatchers guessing. As far as the pushy dispatchers go we have finally learned to stay friendly and say no thanks then just hang up before the next pitch starts. I have gotten the occasional call back saying "I wasn't...

RE: About Panther's home time...refusals did count Thats not so bad we had three different loads they counted against us twice each. Plus there was a cancled load they didn't bother to tell us it canceled and just said we refused the offer. So our rating is around a 58% we just gave up fighting...

I've had a few goes at the AC system on my 99 int 4900, I changed the compressor, and flushed the system, changed one of the two expansion valves. Problem was I didn't do some things in the proper order so it was a lot of discharging and recharging the system. My truck holds 4.5lbs with the...

Time off? In the hand book panther gave out it said something about, if you take a month off your put out of service for two weeks, the first time and contract terminated the next time. Is this not an item they inforce? We have been known to take off on occasion with conway, and was a little...

You have to get an ID and password, I think any of the dispatchers can tell you this one. It has something to do with the new QC everyone that has one has to log in to it or something. It talks the messages is all I know for sure about them. The password is the same for QC or online I think, its...

We have done alright, running team; we had two short runs the first monday, one tues, wed, thur, and then a fri-mon to Oklamhoma city. That was it. We then sat till wed night. Headed to the house, so much for the bonus. Have to fix my AC anyway; a rock jumped up and cracked the condensor, I...

This is true we just spent an hour with them on the phone asking any and everything we could think of. So far we like what we're hearing. We have a C unit and havn't been geeting many loads of late so maybe some change was due. They did tell us that if the entire fleet stays with panther it will...

Thats the highest price yet. This WIX dealer said that any of the WIX folks have to use a set price no futher markup, but auto parts or other dealers who resale the products can markup what they want.

We use a sprint air card for our online service $80 month unlimted usage. Microsoft Streets with GPS for navigation, only a few streets they left out, some glitches you have to run the route a few times to make sure its true. The air card works well in the cities, but it slows down in the...

I'm probably the last to know but, I checked a local shop here in East Texas for replacment filters for the rigmaster. I was amazed $8 for the air and $6 for the fuel filter. I have been charged as much as $20 for each. He even said he could UPS to anywhere for a fair rate. Anyway I just wanted...

You could do what we did. Max everything out and morgatage the house, put it all on an old truck that might make it six months. Then you can see what murphy can do. Truck got totaled 100 miles to the del on our first day. Another driver fell asleep took out both our trucks. On the bright side...

Well can someone with a CDL also have a concealed handgun license, say for non work times? Going to the 7/11 or post office and such. Would applying for one cancel the other?

Did some surfing and found this forum of others stressing about PS products and walmart. They say it is all over the ULSD that would explain the printed stickers TA placed on the bottles about being compliant to the new ULSD. here is the link. http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=140433

Back to the power service I have been stressing on this for some time. I was getting it at ATwoods for about $9 ,for the big bottle, or TA for $11 or WalMart for $13, now walmart and atwoods both pulled it from the shelves. So TA is charging $16. With such a wide range of pricing it seems there...

Oh yea The del was for 1700 on saturday We got to the del at 1200 on saturday. Thats when dispatch said go away and come back at 1700,we didn't, and after a few calls they found out the place was not reopening until tuesday. Another case of hurry up and wait.

We made it to the gate, before we knew they were closed. Usually we think to check weekend del, this was going to a big name companty so we didn't. Even if our detention time would only be for nine hours it would have been $450. What's worse a weekend hold fee is $300 so offering $210 was not...

I tried to del on Saturday, before the hoilday, to a closed location. Called dispatch and got the usual go away and try on your del time. I didn't, called several more times until someone that understood the concept of expedite frieght got on the phone. Dave a long time dispatcher with conway...
