    Board Position BS

    <<<If your acceptance percentage drops to a certain point Panther dispatch will just stop calling. You need to take that into consideration. I'm not sure if they're instructed to make up some stuff like "4 first outs came in" but check your acceptance percentages. I doubt you have that problem...

    Board Position BS

    We have gone through this a couple of times, where we were passed over while being first out. When we questioned it, one answer was, the other truck pinged closer to the pick up - even though we were sitting side by side. Another answer was, their acceptance rate was higher than ours-they were...

    What to do, extended warranty almost over....

    We have all the documentation. We have called Sterling customer service each time the truck has been in the shop and are told the same thing each time: if they cannot pick up anything doing the diagnostic or can duplicate the noise, there is nothing they can do - we just have to wait for it to...

    Married teams and sharing trk responsiblites

    TeamCaffee is right, each team does things differently. We sat in Dallas, TX one weekend, with 2 other teams, and part of the conversation was about who did what in the truck. It all comes down to what each person expects from the other. The way Jim and I work it is, I drive nights because I...

    Going to Grand Rapids, MI - YUCK!!!!

    Well, we made it to Grand Rapids today and are sitting at the truck stop at x75 off 131. The ride wasn't bad, roads were decent and all the accidents were cleared before we reached them. I must admit, I enjoyed looking at the snow, I have always loved the way the snow makes everything look so...

    What to do, extended warranty almost over....

    Thanks for the replies. Maybe we should try and get over to Kansas City and have them check everything over - it certainly couldn't hurt! I keep all the paperwork on the truck from each dealer that has worked on the truck and the best one is the work order from NC, they documented right on the...

    What to do, extended warranty almost over....

    We are just about at the end of our 250,000 mile extended warranty on our 2006 Sterling Acterra and we still have 2 problems that no one has been able to fix. Our motor is the MBE 900 and we have had an ongoing problem with the motor rapping. It does not do it all the time and it does not do it...

    Going to Grand Rapids, MI - YUCK!!!!

    Didn't make it to Grand Rapids yet, we are sitting at the J in Lansing since we were told the roads going into Grand Rapids were shut down when we got up here on Saturday. Apparently the plows were having a hard time keeping the roads clear and will try again Sunday. We will work our way over...

    Rules for Dispatchers

    Mike, Can't help but ask, what would possess you to even go to work for a company that shows you how to hide drugs in a truck?
