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...

What would you get, would you put on it. So far I got: 2007 Coranodo 132" ARI Sleeper w/side door 7.5kw generator 20ft reefer box lift gate Reason I ask is I might have the above amount for a truck real soon (not from the court case) and I want to get back to driving, I hate full time 9-5...

My wish of my lawsuit going easily went out the door this morning. I got the response from the lawyer that they denied everything SO now we must stand trial. Hopefully I can get a court date soon and I'll let everyone know when it is so if your in Medina, OH you can see what happens when a owner...

I've been reading a few post here and there about how some people get a lot sleep and some none, etc. How do the teams on here deal with the HOS expediting? I have been told tons of times to split the day, one person take 12am-12pm, other 12pm-12am, what happens on your shift you take care of...

Where is a good place to get a loan for a truck? I put together a good plan, used my 1st 6 months numbers - which we all know is probably the lowest you'll ever make and had profitablilty showing even with a $2,000 + truck payment. But every bank I goto say they won't do rolling stock or some...

I've been waiting ages to post this but had to wait to it was filed in court and be made public. Hope everyone got a chance to read that, I just don't want it lingering around here, just enough time for everyone to read it. Thanks for the responses.

Has anyone ever seen a tri-axle truck? Or a dual axle with a 3rd lift axle? I know with a dual you get around 52-53000lbs, but only 18-22 payload. So with a 3rd that would jump to 35k or so - a fully loaded 18 wheeler load limt. I'm getting back into expediting after taking a break and try to...

I just thought I would pass on some information for anyone working for an owner in Ohio. This is all public info btw. If an owner decided not pay you it works like this - 1. Contact Lawyer 2. Lawyer writes demand letter and is give 10 days to respond. 3. If no response is made after 10 days a...

Well I can't say much bout whats going on but it's going better... people that responds and is intrested I'll PM some more info but I don't want to post publicly about it. Now the question... I've been thinking, people sometimes can only check in on the fourms weekly due to be being busy or...

Alright, I've read enough post latley from ex-con-way drivers thinking Panther is such a bad place. Panther is where its at because it's one of the best. The reason is bought Con-Way I think was to get in on the west-coast, as that was a slow area to mature for them. Now a driver that gets sent...

Well evreyone should know my blight by now - if not look it up... Well no returning of my phone calls or emails has gotten me reall ticked off. He finnally called my friend and said one thing "No" to paying me. No reason, no reason why he hasn't called me, nothing but NO. I've tallied up the...

I would like to thank everyone who chimed in on my "little" situation. Currently I'm back in Minnesota trying to figure out what to do next. The owner has decided to block my emails and phone calls so I can't get a hold of him to find out about my $6200 he owes me. I've talked to a few different...
