I noticed on yahoo.com that there was an article concerning a poll that was taken shortly after the Supreme Court made it's ruling on Obamacare. So I decided that I would ask the same basic questions as a polling type to see what EO members think.

I would expand that to say. Keep your operating system up to date (No I don't mean to go out and the get the latest and greatest newest one. I mean get the one you have up to date). Keep virus,firewall,and support programs up to date. By support programs I mean things like Java, Flash...

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Panther-Expedited/176255052418256 nfo on Panther Being Bought out by abf- heres the latest info! Arkansas Best, parent of less-than-truckload operator ABF Freight System, is acquiring non-asset carrier Panther Expedited Services for $180 million. The...

I'm not sure if it was a Maxxforce 13, but we were in a 2008 pro star (converted to a straight truck). We had several problems with the truck. Not really with the engine, but it meant down time several days at a time. The DPF got plugged up to the point several times that it had to be taken...

With me, my wife and ice cream is a deadly combination. When she eats ice cream (any kind) it has a bi-product of extremely potent gas. My question for the OP is, are there any other areas where you sit for 3 days besides Texas? As some one else pointed out, Texas is pretty big. Whereabout...

You haven't been talking to the folks that I've spoken to over the years.

What are the numbers for the boards? It's been a long time since I was on the SLC board. Have you talked to driver services? Have you talked to back haul?

Greetings and Salutations.

harrt must like posting that. My only contacts (which are few) that work for the various players are playing the part of - that's the same story that we are hearing. So there is a great possibility that this is being played in the upper echelon's of board rooms far from the ears of the poor...

The situation of First Outs and Board position has been discussed on this forum for quite sometime. It's been 2 years since we went thru orientation, but even then they made a point of saying that the closer you are to the load determines on who gets the load. It also seems that whenever...

Another point on those scales. When you go under those sensors keep a good 1/2 truck distance between you and the previous person. For those weigh in motion sensors, keep your speed constant going over those.

This thread is going downhill. I think I'm going back to bed.

Here are my thoughts on this whole mess. Whoever acquires Panther, will take one of several actions: 1) Acquire the assets and dispose of the company - ie get their customers legally and run. 2) Acquire the assets and integrate the company - I won't even go the union argument routes. 3)...

To try and get back on subject here. Were they sure they were put out of service? Ok now to get off of subject. I wish a certain carrier would add "bad business" as a legitimate reason to turn down a load.

Spongebox, here's another comparison for you. Our Fleet Owner pays 60% of the truck rate (1.20 *.6 = .72 cpm) plus 100% of FSC, accessorials.

At what point did you know you didn't have enough hours to make the delivery? At what point did you communicate that fact? Because you ran out of hours, you forced panther to pay the additional fees to get a load swapped. I'm assuming you had to go to a cross-dock. Yes, Panther should have...

I sure would like to know who's making 15%. I do know there are some brokerages charge by a flat percentage, others a sliding scale based on what the customer pays, and others .. who knows.

Paullud, what do you mean by upper end? I was speaking in general terms.

In Texas, all you would need to do is go take the test and pass it. Don't know if you have hazmat.

That situation mostly occurs with companies with company drivers. There are a number of companies out there that they say they will fine drivers for a number of "infractions". A slightly smaller portion of that number that actually do fine the drivers. Most of the rest of them only fine when...
