I would think that a contract between UPS and Panther or any quality Expediting company, that would create a type of partnering agreement without the investment and overhead of operations of owning a serperate division, would be a smart move for UPS. It would allow UPS to enter the Expedite...

David, I had asked for the same info on this company from a friend of mine who was about to sign with them. The replies were not positive and my friend went with another company. Please check last weeks forum post. Danny By the way, they were sending him a hire package by mail two weeks...

Mike, We have been doing well. Glad to see you back and in good health. Since I saw you last we have made some changes from a Straight truck to a Cube Van and we changed companies from FedEx to Landstar. We are still adjusting to the changes but doing well in spite of the changes. Looking...

My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting Dieseldoctor (Jim & Fredia)at the Flyin J in Atlanta, Ga. last night. Let me tell you this man is a whiz of mechanical gizmo's. The post and pics on this forum do not even do justice to the real thing. If you get the opportunity to meet Dieseldoctor ask...

ATEAM, Have you decided to go, or are you going to stay in service and make money during this prestigious event? Just curious, Danny

I believe thats a hose clamp for the lower coolant hose on a Detriot series 50 engine in a Freightliner FL106. Seems I remember removing one while changing a blown hose on my "D" unit a few years back. Could be wrong though, and I have NO idea who invented it unless it was Larry at Ideal hose...

I wouldn't leave home without them!!! Much better stability in wind and passing big trucks! Clean rear doors! Better rear visability in heavy rain! Slight MPG improvement. Danny

Leo, Yes, if you put E trac in the floor and on the side walls at about a height of 32" from floor, you could secure the freight with load bars and straps in the same fashion as in a standard box. If you wanted to really get wild, mount the cabinets on a vertical rail system so they could be...

Jack, I agree with you on the 4 skids (48X48). It would be possible on 48X40 Skids to load 4 side by side due to the 94" width. With the increased load capacity "C" freight loads should also be available. In reality though, you would be a glorified Super "B" unit, but with the advantage of...

Jack, I looked at the Areocell 5500 series in Simpsonville SC. It is VERY impressive. You can also get that Model lifted to a Dock height bed. I don't recall the load capacity but I will try to find the specs the salesman got for me. I remember it would actually fall into a "C"unit load...

Well I feel like my screen name (Packmule)pretty well fits what I do! Put a load on me and I will carry it across the mountians, dessert,rain, snow, heat, etc. But I can be pretty stubborn at times!!! I had a History taecher in High School that we called Broom Pilot, but it had a different...

John, I have always enjoyed reading your post in the past and know you will be an asset to the EO Mod's. Being that you are a Landstar contractor, I know you are knowledgeable in Logging and proper Log book procedures. If not...you will be!! Ha! Looking forward to meeting you someday, Danny

Dave, I have seen you state many times that you like the Areocell concept and I am a bit curious as to your thoughts on these units. I looked at the Areocell very strongly, and liked what I saw. They are very well constructed, very aerodynamic, and offer a lot of factory options. The only...

Broom, I don't think being a Van driver has anything to do with it. It's just as easy for a Van driver to walk in and shower as someone in a C, D, or E unit. If they get a Flyin J Frequent Fueler card and use it with each fill up they will get a FREE shower with every 2 fill-ups. I don't feel...

Well said Terry!!! DITTO for me!! Danny

Broom.......do you know who we are refering to when we say SRV?? Yep, thats right, Stevie Ray. And yes I agree, he is a GREAT guitar slinger. Danny

Moot, I completely agree with you. Les Paul, Chet Atkins, and other great guitar players in their style of playing stand in a league of their own. Its like comparing the Boston symphony orchestra to the Beatles. They both are great in what they do, and sound great togeather, but each has it's...

Ha! Good one!!! Danny

Eric Clapton - LAYLA Also WHITE ROOM during the Cream era. SRV - Pride & Joy

Msinger, Thanks for the compliment. My payload is 2740 +/- a few pounds. I have carried 3120 with no problems. Van ran and handled great. But I like to stay 2500 or below to stay legal.(just in case) The cabinet and all our personal things only added 147 Lbs to the Van weight. The 2 Optima...
