    For all you owners out there...

    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...

    ? For people

    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 don't know what I ever did wrong, I hear of all these great adventures, all these cool places some of you go but when I was running all I would ever get is runs up and down I75 or a deadend run to AZ or Boston. No NW, No Florida, Nothing but boring I75 and sometimes the 401 in ONT. I was a...

    Canceled Loads

    I never really had an issue with it EXCEPT when you accepted a load say 12-14 hour in advance, and it 7pm, you've been sitting there ALL day because of this load, and at 2 min before you move to go get it, they cancel, no dry run, no layover, no run and you might have a 1st out now but its...

    What does everyone think about Idle Aire?

    My only complaint is that is goes into your pasenger window - Most truck have a thick curitan to seperate the sleeper to keep the light out but it also keeps the cool/heated air out from IA. I can't sleep with those big truck stop lights shining in.

    OIL PRICES WILL FALL, JUST HOLD ON

    Lets not forget the 700 million barells of oil in the emergency reserve... No one ever seems to mention how much they dump into that thing, they dump as much as they can so they can keep saying that we don't have enough supply inturn jacking prices up. I just can't see how they can justify...

    CDL License

    Short answer, its still valid. Though it can create problems if you switch jobs as ussally they want the CDL from your home state. It will also prevent you from getting your canada cards if you dont have them yet. Lastly, if there is an issue with the card the state is going to send the info to...

    Enough with Panther Bashing...

    The thing about pay it's not panther specific, a lot of carriers haven't raised pay in years - an o/o driving an E unit, 1990 .90/mile, today .85/mile. This argument can go on between what Panther was, what it is today and where its going... All expidte companies have issues, thats fact. Choose...

    Enough with Panther Bashing...

    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...
