Okay Dave, I surrender. You will always see it your way and I apparently can only comprehend it my way. Comparing the two companys is moot as FedEx does not have a refusal policy. For the record, I do see the fact we can carry over 9,501 as an asset. (We did have a pusher put on for this very...

Dave- I guess I did not make the point about being a specific unit clear...what I am trying to say is: using what happened with us as an example, a truck that could not carry 10,000 pounds was not dispatched a load because they could not carry the weight even though they are considered a D...

RE: Feeling a little stupid about CA speed limit.. We called CHP direct and asked about the lift axle question and they said unless it is down you can do the car speed limit. He said the only time you have to obey the truck limits is when you have your extra axle down or if you are going down...

I have already relayed our woes with regards to Panther’s dispatch procedures several times here-AND to date no one has ever specifically addressed what happened with us but anyway… Panther does not use first in-first out---Period. Anytime you put provisions on some trucks and/or add...

Road Hooligan- What company, if any, do you run for? I am curious. -mcbride- --What goes around comes around--

The Emperor is naked,and our destiny is now in the hands of a desperate,blind and profoundly disturbed individual. ================================ Clearly he was not the best qualified for the job.His IQ is low and he is easily manipulated by the money interest that gave him such a large...

RE: Feeling a little stupid about CA speed limit.. Don't feel bad we thought the same about California. We kinda ran into a snag tho...we have a pusher axle. So, are we a 2 axle when it is up? Stopped at the scale and asked and they told us...."this may be a questionable thing." So, still...

This one I still cannot understand...my people have no time to play games with favoritism. In the fast paced environment of getting loads covered we will look for the best acceptance percentage if time is tight for a p/u. So say if the driver has a 50% accepetance compared to the guy with an...

Con-Way had several customers out there and we got out routinely from there. Northrup Grumman is out there-Yuma area Motorola is out there-Tuscon area Harley Davidson-Tempe area- In addition, our NLM department also got several auto loads out routinely right in the area you are dropping at...

KW Express, You are absolutely right. LOL Debating this issue is little like wrestling a greased pig...you soon find the pig is enjoying it. IE. Nothing productive will come of this discussion, whether constructive, or not,..as Panther will not agree that there is anything wrong with their...

Not all trucks are authorized or can go to Canada. Are they penalized? Not in run selection, but rather their rate. Those units I believe run at a .10 cent per mile reduction on loaded miles. These trucks should at the very least loose their board position as we do or we should not loose our...

Where the other trucks Canadian approved? What kind of Canadian load was it? Where the other trucks permitted for SK? Some may not be. How was the called in? Or was it a bid load? That depends as well because Panthers response time may be limited. If there are three trucks and each has 15...

>Just sitting in one place for two or three days, especially in >Dallas, proves this: Dispatch will offer crappy loads to you first, >hoping you're desperate. And....you find this an acceptable practice. I guess it is what one could consider to be "forced" dispatch. This in my opinion is forced...

Dave, We appreciate what you are saying with regards to location...we are not new to expediting. We feel we have a pretty good idea of the basic freight lanes as we have a complete record of every load we have ever taken and every mile we have ever driven for 7 years. We have all the shipper...

Hey! >KINDA FIGURED YOU WOULD SOON BE CHANGING YOUR TUNE FROM YOUR >PREVIOUS POST ON HOW THINGS WE GOING GREAT (NO HARM MEANT >THERE). WE KNEW IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME.... LOL....really don't think my tune has changed as much as reality is setting in. As we said to you folks at the...

I don't think you are the team that we are talking about. We met up with them and they were loaded already. There were a couple of teams that delivered there, as a matter of fact we met another couple who did just minutes before we left Dallas. I mean no disregard to you or Panther. If you...

This is a synopsis of our Texas saga: We delivered at International Truck 08/09/06, Wednesday morning, along with at least one other Panther truck. We delivered before all other trucks. We were offered empty move offer 496 miles to Kansas City, Mo for a whooping $110.00. We declined as...

Hi Dave: We have been here since Wednesday morning. We were number 17 or somewhere abouts.....number 2 now...so not too many loads have gone out. Some one in dispatch told us today that there were over 40 trucks in Texas. It is very discouraging for us. We are used to running or at the...

>RE: How is post-buyout P2 for you?< Not real good this week at all...us along with 25 others sitting in Dallas area...over 40 in Texas... Guess we are going to have to start looking elsewhere...which is really too bad. -mcbride- --What goes around comes around--
