    Brokers.... what to charge....

    Brokers profit is anywhere between 1 - 15 % of whatever the broker and the broker's customer agrees to. For instance the customer may say I'll pay $1,000 for this load, the broker would make $100 profit using the defacto standard of 10%. The broker would then turn around an pay the carrier the...

    A word of caution to the EO community about DVT and blood clots.

    Something I forgot to add. According to several doctors, one way to do a quick check is to feel your legs (above and below the knees) and if they are swollen or they are warm to the touch you are looking at a possible clot. My Dr suggested that every time you take a shower, use the bathroom...

    A word of caution to the EO community about DVT and blood clots.

    I feel for you guy. I found out that I had blood clots when I was on a run and I just felt totally miserable, with more illness symptoms than anything else. I kept throwing up and my chest kept getting sorer and tighter (when I throw up people next door can hear me). Finally told the...

    Things You Need to Ask

    One of my favorite ways that I find out about carriers, is that I'll call the several times trying to get the same recruiter and ask the same questions. But, with the twist of slightly changing the wording of the questions. My personal experience with talking with drivers or looking on the web...

    N.E., fuel, and freight.......

    We were a team in a straight truck, and New York and Pennsylvania were areas that I would avoid at all costs. Unless, it was near Ohio.

    no love from the tractor trailer

    I have run into this quite a bit, my wife even more. Eventhough we both have TT experience and most of the TT guys are shocked that we know how to slide tandems, fifth wheels and also can help them back into a hole. I would say some of it is jealousy , some simple rudeness, some of it size ego...

    Thanks Again

    It's been that way ever since we first started with Panther (2 years or so ago). What i've done is that I look at our run book to see where we have picked up in that area and then try to get as close to those as I can safely and legally be.

    Why is panther recruiting

    Hey Mars I read the note twice before i posted and i just reread twice again. Don't see 6 days mentioned anywhere. Except where you replied to mine. In expediting you will sit. With teams you will not always get team loads in expediting. When you get a load offer quickly do a macro 8...

    Why is panther recruiting

    Most likely so they can replace you and other drivers that complain after sitting for only 3 days.

    Panther's physical Question

    It's been my experience that it is more common for companies to have their doctors perform physicals. As you know UA's/**** Tests are required when you change or start employment. If you have high BP and are under medication for it, get your doctor to write a letter stating how long you have...

    First chain install, with exciting photo proof !

    Am I wrong? Don't you have them inside out? Seriously look at the cross links and the direction that the hooks are that are on the outside of the tire. I was taught that if those links point inwards toward the tire that it rub against the tire and could cause a blow out.
