Well one of the reason's, Actually the main reason is deadhead. I know of an owner that was paying the fuel until he had a driver put on 26,000 miles with only 6,000 of those miles paid. And also heard of another driver using the owners van to stay at home delivering pizza's. Would you pay the...

RE: My week in dispatch. Favoritism? Definitely no Hmmmm, Let me see if I have this right. there is no time to show favoritism, but there is time to check and compare acceptance and in service percentages.

But my pet peeve is the city street signs that are so small, dark or weather beaten that you can't read them at night or the one's hanging above the road next to the new l.e.d. traffic signals that are so bright and give off a glare so you still can't see them unless you stop right under them.

I have to laugh when I read all of these posts. What most of you don't understand is that your all spoiled...LOL. Talk to someone who has been doing this for 15-20 plus years and you will see how much easier it is now. Before computers,laptops,gps and routing software, You just bought yourself...

A zero degree sleeping bag is great. You can get one for about 30.00 at gander mountain. I also use the small propane heater. One bottle will last about 22 hours. It won't make it real warm but it will take the chill off. Just make sure to crack a window open about a 1/4 inch. Preferabaly on the...

As for myself, I really wasn't bashing Panther, Instead I just mentioned a few thing that IF they were changed would stop about 98% of the problems and complaints. 1) Pay more for mini's 2) Do away with losing board position. Keep it fair 3) Increase d/h pay / re-instate empty move pay 4)...

Well thats not a bad idea, actually Panther will allow any driver to sit in dispatch for as long as they want. I believe at one time, I don't know if they still do, but if you stayed there for an 8 hour shift they would pay you $100.00 As for expense all they would need would be a chauffeur...

Well I wanted to add to my last post but it seems you can't edit after 60 min. from posting as I wasn't quite finished with it but had to go on a run. Anyway, (4) Another thing these companys need to do is get away from discounted miles. ie: household good miles. As always it seems it's the...

There is just a few small things that Panther would need to do to alleviate the problem of CHERRY PICKING... Now I'm only addressing the issue from a cargo van stand point. Being thats what I drive. 1) Minis need to be paid more... Van's should be paid 100.00 to 125.00 for any mini 0 - 100...

About the only time you see a truck doing under 65 m.p.h. in Michigan is if he's slowing down to get off an exit.

One of my favorite resturants is O'Charleys. They have excellent steaks and ribs, and most are located off the interstate.

I thought the object was to shoot for HIGH SCORE!
