Thanks for the replies.

Not sure if this was ever discussed on here before. Has anyone here ever run in temperatures from -25 to -50? What additional precautious, if any, would have to be taken to keep the truck running smoothly? I would think the last thing anyone would want was for their fuel lines to gel and the...

I scan multiple pro's at one time and never have a problem. I also put the Pro # and Truck # on all paperwork. I did notice, I do have problems with receipts though!

Ark, Sorry to hear about your father-in-law. We wish him all the best and we will certainly keep him in our prayers!

Give it some time, Panther isn't bad to work for, once you get into the swing of things. What your husband needs to do is ask questions and lots of them. I noticed a post the other day where Suds offered to talk with your husband since he is also a solo tractor driver. Did you PM him with your...

Can't help you with load info, since we are in a straight truck but I might be able to give you an idea for your sinuses. It seems this year has been horrible for me, with the dry heat and my sinuses have been killing me. When we were at Walmart, I picked up one of those Vicks Waterless...

DreamTeam, Don't pay any attention to the rude comments, sometimes they just get their panties in a bunch! lol Where was that picture taken in your signature line??

I agree with Leo. We get a monthly statement through our email.

You've never referred to Philadelphia as anything but "Philly" and New Jersey as "Jersey." < You refer to Pennsylvania as "PA" (pronounced Pee-ay). < "Youse guys" is a perfectly acceptable reference to a group of both men and women. < You know how to respond to the question "Djeet yet?"...

Ange, Why don't you try calling some of the different expediting companies and speak to the recruiter's, they would be able to answer all your questions. They should also be able to tell you if there are any fleet owner's looking for drivers. Best of luck!

I wish I were sitting in San Diego:cool::cool: We should have been but, instead, here we sit in South Carolina. I had other reasons for asking but since no one from Panther is there.... Hey Turtle, that was a very funny answer, certainly made me smile today.:)

Anybody sitting in San Diego??

You are right, that going home gives you a safe parking spot but it is a lot more than that. Going home gives some a feeling of belonging, that this is where they are meant to be - maybe they don't need to be there all the time but it is nice to have a sense of belonging and a place to call...

I was told by my accountant, that you can deduct your WiFi/aircard expenses since it is used for business.

Count us in!! We would love to take a jaunt with you guys!:D:D Jim is always looking for a reason to ride. Now, back on subject: We go home for many reasons. I think the main reason is to see family and our dogs. (I really miss our dogs when we are gone) I come from a large family (8 siblings)...

Iceroad, Don't feel bad about missing the load to TX, nothing moving here in Laredo. From what we hear, nothing moving anywhere in TX. Been here since Friday, made it to 3rd out and 2 more trucks came in this morning with a 1st out, now back to 5th.

According to our accountant, you can deduct shower's and also, books, DVD's, and CD's. He claims that the IRS does not expect you to sit, staring out the window, while you are layed over. We have claimed them for the past three years and have never been audited so as long as our accountant says...

Cheri, Of course I will be your friend! The more friends, the merrier!!

TeamCaffee, It has always been my understanding that you could deduct what you spend for entertainment while on the road. I guess I need to ask my accountant again.

When you take the per diem, you cannot deduct the food you buy or from fast food restaurants. (no need to save receipts, since you can't claim it). As for the papertowels, tt paper, laundry supplies, if they are purchased out of my personal checking, I just circle the items and put the amount...
