Well I decided against the $2,600/month payment and decided to go back to driving for a fleet owner. Now the disturbing part is that there is barley no one looking for panther drivers. SO I found one with fed ex cc. I've searched and read, then searched some more. But I can't seem to figure if...

This isn't expediting related but it was so funny I thought I would share. I was watching MSNBC last night and they had on "To catch a predator". If you haven't seen the show before they have undercover cops pose as a 13 year old girl online and get guys to come meet her. Well one guy pulls up...

I got a loan, cosigner, truck and company picked out, etc. Payments for said loan is $2,600/month, now that includes $20,000 cash to cover cost. $20,000 residual payment after 5 years. With the some of the $20,000 I'm going to set up a escrow account with the bank and put (and keep) at least 3...

With all the talk of no loads, low paying loads, etc. Lets think of the better times - what was your best paying load? Mine would be the 6 mile mini in MI paying $13/mile FS and $60 mini pay. Only 1/2 mile deadhead and put me 1st out in all the board in Detroit.

Searching the net today and came across this: http://www.expeditertraining.com/ I just started laughing. Read the site - they charge $159 and it doesn't seem like they tech anything out of the normal, if you took 5 min to look up you could find on your own.

I searched for this but couldn't find an answer. Okay, if I buy a truck that is less than empty weight of 33k #s I don't have to pay FET right? I'm slightly confused as to this FET. Now if I add a pusher axle from the dealer he said I would have to pay the 12% on the whole purchase??? So I...

I'm ordering a pusher axle for my new truck, a 2007 Columbia CL112 - 96 sleeper - 22ft box - engine undecided but it's going to be CAT. I can't get the axle from the dealer or tandems because then I have to pay 12% FET. I found a good dealer and a good product but he need to know if I want dual...

I watched special on the closing of a GM plant in Pontiac, MI the other day. They were talking about the market demands, etc. But the biggest reason for the fallout of GM, and the layoff of workers was the union. They were showing people who's sole job was to mop the floor making close to...

Is anyone in here signed up for Elite Service(Panthers WG equiv)? And if so, has it kept you busy with DOD loads? I only ask because I read all these post on how slow it's been and wondering if Elite has been the same.

An idea of mine, a slide out grill/kitchen set up. The attachment explains it pretty good. I would try to fit this into a 48" or 60" Box. If enough people would be interested I'll build one for concept and then sell some. Thanks *Clarification - this would be something you would install on the...

Has anyone ever bought a truck with finacing that has a "repurchase agrement" tied to it? And if you, what dealer did you use that would do said above? Thanks.

My 1st post got WAY off subject! So let's try this: You have an unlimted budget, you have no problem spending $250,000 on a truck, you have no issues with that the truck won't make back what it cost, you have no problems AT ALL with spending it. Pretend your one of those people who buy the $400...

Okay I'm getting a truck in Ohio and need to register it with Minnesota. I'm going to be driving for Panther. Now, do I have to figure out how to file my IRP in Minnesota or does panther provide that? Do I just need to register the truck, pay the sales tax? I'm good at most things but this is...

I'm buying a truck in Ohio but I want to register it in Minnesota. I'm going with Panther btw. Now, does panther provide IRP/IFTA and I just have to get my base plate? Or do I need to file for IRP also? Thanks.
