Heya Lawrence, While you're at it, could ya remove Dreamer's Ohio State banner?? :+ We'll return the favor by doing everything in our power to bring back John Cooper as their coach. We know he's greatly missed down in Columbus & want them to get their old ballcoach back. As I sit here...

Hiya Lawrence, I have a question for ya. It's about that Panther ad. I realize in the scope of things a 10 second ad isn't going to change anyones life. At the same time is it really needed? For awhile I was blaming Panther. After thinking about it though, this is your site & you're the one...

>i think you r trying to start chyt, This is actually 100% correct. As I said in my original post: I had felt up until this time that as a non Panther driver it wasn't my place to ask this question. I've actually wondered this about every expediting company who's drivers use QC. I fully...

Hiya folks, I hadn't really considered applying at Panther but since I've now inadvertantly clicked that ad enough times I have a question just in case I get a subliminal urge to apply. I had felt up until this time that as a non Panther driver it wasn't my place to ask this question. I've...

Hiya Bob, I mailed ya a few days ago. Guess maybe it didn't go thru or something. It was sent to your AOL addy. She's no longer interested. Not only cuz of the price but also cuz she's hesitant to have someone she doesn't know drive her vehicle. Take care, Danny

DannyD, No disrespect but $1000 is too cheap. This is 2300 miles of driving and possible breakdowns, flat tires or putting oil in it every 200 miles. What I find odd is that here is a thread on a site that many people say 'Say NO to Cheap Freight' - well this is an example of cheap frieght...

If ya have a laptop I'd suggest Streets & Trips. Ya can get it on sale at various places w/ the GPS unit for about $90. I don't have anything else to compare it to, but I've used that b4 & liked it. Good luck to ya, Danny

I'd need a lil more information b4 any suggestions could be made. I'm not sure how well ya get paid for those 3 days. In expediting if ya were to stay out 5 days my guess is ya'd average $800/week BEFORE expenses. Some make more for sure, but that's all I'd think ya can count on if you're...

My comment: My take on it is if Sprinters are paid a higher rate for all runs, not just 3 skid runs, then I can see where it may be the way to go. If they're paid at the same rate as a Ford or GMC van, then ya need other reasons (like using the extra room as a sleeper or something) to get one...

Quite a powerful post. Yes, it changed my mind on some of the things. I never felt that 90% of the workers were lazy, though I do feel that some of the people in shipping/receiving don't care. I found it more on a plant by plant basis. Ford Dearborn & Louisville is a good examples of chaos in...

A lil update here. She's not willing to pay $1,000, which I said in the original post. She's also hesitant to have someone she doesn't know drive her vehicle. So in that regard I jumped the gun in asking if anyone was interested in taking it. For that I am sorry for any inconveniences I...

wow, some of the exact logic I used w/ my mom. Though I didn't use the 4 times factor. I was throwing this out there in case someone maybe wanted to go out to Washington for other reasons. I had a hunch my price was reasonable. I was more just double checking on the price & then throwing out...

A friend of my moms has a motorhome that she wants driven from Michigan to Washington state. She'd then fly me back to Michigan. I told my mom I'd charge $1000 plus the flight. Gas is paid for though I'm on my own for food. My mom felt her friend would think that's a bit high. The trip is to...

LOL!!!! This post had me rolling!! I came on to post about on a trip to Washington & pretty much the same thing happened to me. I had the speakers full volume when I signed on. And yea, I'll fess up, I jumped a bit too. Maybe I'd get along well w/ your dogs. Take care, Danny

ok & thanx. Though the ad has come up b4 a fair amount of times. So it's kinda set up in a way that's going to lend to me passing the mouse over I imagine. This time I was listening to music b4 coming on here & the speakers blared out their ad. I'll obviously be turning down the volume b4 I...
