    Using Hair for a drug test

    I don't care one way or the other. It's part of the contract like it or not. That being said when at Panther Orientation in 2007, when the Urine testing was announced. At least 6 persons got up, left the room and never returned.:p

    2001 Ford E-150

    A E 150 is a half ton van. 1500 -2000 lbs on a regular basis will ruin it in a hurry I would think.:rolleyes:

    Osama Bin Laden is DEAD!

    21 percent interest had a lot more to do with Carter's failure to be reelected.:rolleyes: Along with the hostages in Iran.

    Factoring

    Look on the BRIGHT side. GM & Chrysler were Factored by the US & Canadian governments. And as far as at least GM is concerned the Government is going to take a bath at GM.:p

    Panther is a scam.

    Why would anyone take a Panther DOT physical?. When I went through Orientation in July of 2007 Panther required it of every one there. First you were sent around back (to the right of front) give a Urine sample and take an eye test. Then into a little office. It appeared if you were breathing...

    Panther is a scam.

    In 2007 the Doctor who was doing physicals, was a D.O. not an MD.

    Factoring

    Not knowing much about "Factoring" what happen when the Company you have hauled, say $4000.00 worth of freight for fails to pay the Factoring company?. Does the Factoring company eat it. Or come back after the Owner (you) for the money.:rolleyes: Minus what ever % you were charged to begin with.

    Factoring

    I believe if you go to the SBA and apply for a loan. Are successful in getting the loan and you fail at your attempt in business. Your still responsible for the loan. If you don't have the faith to put up something of your own to start a business you need to stay in a one person operation. My...
