I believe America is ready for a black president and and black vice president on the same ticket. My write-in candidates would be: Colin Luther Powell and Condoleezza Rice. That ticket gives you two black candidates and a black female candidate all rolled into one. What a deal! That trumps...

Wow! They really do need to refine the system. I just sent a location Macro to my dispatch and Panther updated me on their system. :D:D Sorry, just a little a humor to lighten the mood.

The carrier will install the QC unit for you. Their experience will permit them as to the most efficient placement of all the components.

Although I am not a member of the "pride", could you please define the terminology "real soon" for the readers? My experience has taught me that it takes on various meanings at different organizations. Just curious as to how it is defined at Panther Expedited Services.

My brother is a pipe inspector; mostly nuclear power plants; some gas, oil and coal burning power plants; and since refineries have a lot of pipe they also inspect them. To dispell any of the "Black Helicopter Theories" and all other weird conjectures (take your pick) the refining companies...

Trains will have no impact on the type of freight we haul. In fact, I haul frequent amounts of freight for CSX between their train yards. Why? Because it is emergency freight. Trains haul regular freight. $4.00 per gallon should come as no surprise. Until Americans start changing their...

I read another post you had made and it indicated that you made $52,000 driving a day cab tractor. It would be almost mathmatically impossible to clear that much in a Sprinter. Most drivers pay the truck 60% and themselves only 40%. If you could average 100,000 paid miles per year (I don't see...

I guess there is a way to get a New Yorker's attention. :D

Thanks for the link. The report was interesting. Hopefully we will hear from someone who is driving a Sprinter with the gasoline engine. PS. Does anyone know the origin of the 3.5L gas engine now available in the Sprinter?

It looks as though you have good plan in the making. Thanks for your positive comments. Please keep us updated on your progress.

Thank you Broompilot. I have also contacted Pilot on two occasions regarding the comments posted here on EO. Moreover, I forwarded the link to them so they could read the comments. Please, everyone who has experienced this problem while at a Pilot Travel Center needs to take a moment and...

Me too! At 6'4" I have made it a rule to crawl in and out of the van on my knees. One bump on the head was enough for me. For those who have always owned GM cargo vans a lateral transition to a GM cutaway chassis with a Spartan Body will give you adequate head room and load height. A 12 foot...

I believe starting in 2007 you could opt for a gasoline engine ? I was just curious if anyone has purchased a Sprinter equipped with the gasoline engine? If anyone has bought one, or is driving one, I would appreciate you taking the time to let us know how it performs.

Excellent posts! Now, here is the challenge... Has anyone who expressed their comments on EO clicked the link that was provided and sent their comments to Pilot Corporate? One person may get brushed off as a malcontent, but many drivers sending negative reviews to Pilot may get them to review...

After asking numerous drivers over the past couple of years regarding FIFO rules, the overwhelming majority agree that there are two rules to remember in this business: Rule 1 : Dispatchers will load who they chose to load. Rule 2 : Dispatchers have memories. My advice: Play nice, smile and...

I thought it only fair to give Pilot Travel Centers the opportunity to respond to the post regarding the shower cleaning procedures. I sent them a copy of the post and requested a reply. Here is their response: Dear Rev. Hall: Thank you for taking time to email me with your concern. I...

I am leased to Tri State. I sent you a private message regarding who to contact.

Wow! Blacksburg is a long haul from Atlanta. There is a fairly new Flying J off I-85 at Exit 147 in Commerce, GA. I don't know how that would work with your Panther Board system. I have parked there without any difficulties. It is a smaller "J", but it is well managed.
