    Help staying awake naturally

    Plenty of uninterrupted sleep. Good diet. Exercise routinely. Been taking vito b-12, recently and it seems to help. Drink lots and lots of water. Having to stop and pee will help.

    Panther QC

    We are also having the same kind of problems. Funny thing is that before the update we weren't have any problems. Since the update ....... :( I'm also an IT ex (is there any such thing as an ex-IT?) and this doesn't make sense to me either. The folks that I have talked to suggest that...

    Co-Pilot GPS

    I tried an older version as well as the current version. After only a few days I uninstalled it. My little tomtom does a better job that it does.

    Why so many Ads for Expediters ?

    Whether it be truck load, LTL, expediting hotshotting there is turnover. Drivers leave one company for another for a few pennies or because they think they've been shafted, or because they are tired of this or that, or they just quit driving all together. Another reason, tax deduction for the...

    Blonde password

    Back in my IT days I had a user with a password problem. Back in those days, we told people to pick a password that would be easy for them to remember. This one user decided that their age would be perfect, but they would have to spell out the number. It turns out that they would either forget...

    Transflo/Trippak

    I've had problems with BOL's that are like the 3rd page of a NCR paper form, and with some fuel receipts (especially TA and Love's).

    What do you for personal safety?

    I wish there was somebody on this forum, that has had the experience of having problems at truck stops with guys hitting up on them and has stopped it. We have the situation where my wife can be just sitting in the front seat reading and all of sudden guys will come up and proposition her.

    A decent Internet package for the road

    If you only plan to stay at truck stops, rest areas, stores that have at&t wifi (hoping they all allow truck parking) great plan. Keep in mind that with the wifi you will be more vunerable to virus attacks (how good is your virus package?). With the aircard you actually get a card that plugs...

    30-day wait for verification is non-sense

    There are such laws. From what I've seen though it's not a federal law, but rather state laws. I think the federal requirement is more general. The time restriction is to keep companies from "forgetting" to send information to either employers or state agencies. Just keep in mind, it's...

    board position ups/downs

    On various boards and various times, i've noticed that my board position will go up and down. For instance, 1st checking position 8 with no first outs. 2nd checking position 6, with no first outs. 3rd checking my position will be back to 8 with first outs. I would look at the drivers' web...

    it needs to be said, but i dont want to sound *****y

    Turtle, good points. One of the signs at a customer site that I saw when I drove for Swift said something to the affect: Drivers You Must Read This, Yes that means you. We are not a Truck Stop, Rest Area, Waste Dump or anything like that. Your time limit on this site is 30...

    it needs to be said, but i dont want to sound *****y

    You can only extend the driving hours up by 2 hours only if the delay was caused by weather. It also has to be completed within your 14 hour window. Don't know what the electronic logs will do. Best answer call safety.

    Wireless Internet

    dhalltoyo I have an ATT air card with 5gb also, I've had few if any problems. A call to the att customer service is usually all it took.

    a street-legal airplane

    Nothing really new. They have been around since the late 40's. They just haven't caught on. Sort of like the windecker eagle - although it paved the way for other composite airplanes. http://www.aerocar.com/

    Cranky Dispatchers

    Like what has already been said - there job is to cover loads and to do it in a way that keeps it profitable for Panther as well. A few times, they have gotten a disgusted/dissapointed sound in their voice but never (at leas so far) a threatening response. Usually when I turn it down I...

    New Advance Policy

    Gee wiz, 3 words is too short for a post/reply. I like the new policy. There were a enough times that I would have to ask dispatch to put money on the card from the pod after pick up to make this a very worth while change.
