I understand why they only pay 35% to a team. The cost of new trucks along with paying everything Expediters Services is in the business to make money too. They need to get a return on their investment. Drivers have demanded so much for so long and truck owners are one breakdown from going out...

I thought it was a cool thing. When I was a Owner Operator at FedEx I wore my uniform with pride. I think the purple socks would look good with the uniform. You could say you wanted be like Donny Osmond. :)

I would have to agree with you on that 100%

You would have to call in and talk to the operations manager, or the fleet manager. I pretty much try to keep the drivers moving with freight on the trucks now. Go to www.mayfieldexpress.com

Thank you sir, I owe a lot of our success to you John also. You have helped us many times with Mayfield Express LLC growing. You helped me with the lease on our building that we are in now and many other things. Thanks again:)

Thanks Tom, I'm sorry I haven't called you yet. I have been really busy with getting these six trucks signed on that we just got.

Sometime you have to take a 1.10 a mile load with a .24 fsc to get out of Laredo, Tx. If the freight is going to Michigan it is worth it for those kind of miles.

I made this one up. You might be a redneck if you go to your local bank and they ask you if you want to buy a CD and you ask, do you have Garth Brooks? You might me a redneck.

Mars22 Just do the math, if you average $1000.00 a week you would make $52,000 gross a year. So if you average $1500.00 a week you will gross $78,000.00 a year. That is 326.09 miles per load IF you do 5 loads a week at .77 a mile and a .15 FSC. Now if your at Load1 you could do more, as the van...

Lawrence my Grandpa would have to disagree with the old OTR driver. He would say just because it's a straight doesn't mean we don't move freight. Also I think this about a van drivers. Yea, I'm in a Van, but I can get there faster than a big truck can. Most companies don't like to pay for a full...

Did you ever find a driver?

26 since 1995 as we just bought six more trucks last week.

Some customers will not load trucks that have lift-gates because they can lock the truck into the dock.

I would have to agree 100% with Greg and Jim on this. If you want to team drive a straight truck would be better. You will have more room, make more money over all and by happy. As a fleet owner we have never even thought of owning any vans. It's just not worth it to us unless I drove the van...

Mayfield Express will give some money to a driver that will help out with this. PM if you find a driver willing to take the freight.

Panther Expedited Services CEO Andy Clark will be heading back on the road November 28, 2011 for a good cause. This is the third year that Clark has got into a Panther Expedited Services truck to raise money for the United States Marine Corps League and Toys for Tots. Clark and Lyn Brumfield a...

Greg you do know I'm not mad at you, just busting your chops as you do mine. I know how you Italians are because I'm married to one. LOL Tricia gets mad at me when you and I bust each others chops. She just don't like it.

Good point Dennis. When our drivers have a problem with a dispatcher at Panther (which I can count on one hand since we been there) we call driver relations. If the driver was on a empty move then was offered a load when they was 200 miles into it. The empty move stops at 200 miles and the...

Well, you should have called driver relations before posting something like this in a open forum saying that Panther is crooks. I take it you will be looking for a new company to drive for since you think Panther is so BAD. This seems like a drive by poster.

So you did the loads are being paid for the loads just not the empty move? I think you should post that it's the empty moves your saying your not getting paid for, not the loads.
