    Panther drivers

    Let me start out by saying that I am not with Panther. Now saying that I ask you this. Who complains the most? Who has the most active orientation every week? If everything the recruiters say is true, then why do they need to replace so many drivers? I know I didn't answer your question...

    Need Advice Guys!!!

    I got into a verbal argument with a woman in the office. She thought I was making too much money to complain about a few dollars (About $75.00) a week worth of commission corrections. I was making about 4 times as much as she was, but I was working about 80 hrs per week and using my van to...

    Need Advice Guys!!!

    Are you just trying to get away from the Northern winters and wanting to move to California or what? If you wanted to run local there are several good local companies in the northern Ohio area. I ran for Priority Dispatch several years ago, until they fired me and ordered me off the property...

    Mapping Software

    Why wouldn't a driver just use CoPilot? It's made for trucks. You can change the routing to give you haz-mat routing if you need it. It will let you know in a heartbeat if you get on a truck restricted route. You dont have to pay the truck stop price, you can buy it direct from the company...

    Can I use my Class B RV as an expediter?

    Somone rents an RV that is called a fun mover. There is a space in the very back that people put motorcycles and such in. I did see one leased on to Landstar for a short time. The thing had enough room in it to haul one pallet, but the max cargo weight was only 900#. Can you just see the...

    Need Advice Guys!!!

    Dug a little deeper and took a look at the MCS-150 they filed on 11-11-07. According to their report they have 2 trucks and 2 drivers and ran a total of 390,000 miles for the year. That works out to an average of over 500 miles per driver 7 days a week 365 days. Either a mistake was made...

    Need Advice Guys!!!

    Just because they are a corporation don't mean they are a huge company. Maybe they are a mom and pop company like the vast majority of us. Their home office just might be in their home and they don't want the drivers in their house. When I first started with Roberts Express, I had my little...

    Sleeping Solution For A van?

    The remote start works just as well in the summer to cool down things. I like the fact that the truck stops after 20 minutes. Sure keeps a driver from falling asleep and letting the truck run all night, or day long. For winter weather I just use the Espar and sleep on top of the covers.

    Expediting in Asia

    These things were all over Nam. We called them lambreta's. They were used to haul everything from about 15 people to small water buffalos. Kinda like oversized mopeds with a wide backend.

    If you use PrePass

    I can sometimes hear the sound it makes but the volumn is so low that if the radio is on or the wend is blowing I cannot hear it. As far as replacing the batteries, mine don't have replacable batteries. Also mine don't have a test button.

    If you use PrePass

    Does anyone but me have a problem seeing the green or red lights on the pre pass? My windshield angles in such a way that the prepass is not close to vertical. Also it seems that I am amost always running into the sun when I need to see the light. I have put a cardboard frame around the...

    OOPS! It's "4" to Decline

    I'm not sure if this is true or not but it makes for a good story. Years ago, back in Roberts Express days there was a D unit team that had a pet monkey. This team was somewhere waiting for a load and decided to get something to eat. They thought they went off the C Link and straight onto...

    my pay

    Having the guy arrested on a bad check should be done as a last resort, but if you do take that route and after you press charges do not for any reason drop the charges. Even if he pays you in full never drop them. In Ohio if you drop the charges you are guilty of compounding a felony. My...

    my pay

    Go back to the bank and tell them you want to put the checks in their collection dept. They will take the checks and monotor his account. As soon as he has the funds available they will remove the funds and hold the cash for you. Do not let the owner know you are doing this or he might not...

    Tipping

    If the shower is clean, AND I don't have to wait a long time to get one, I always leave $1.00 I also believe that the person is probably working for minimun wages and the fact they are trying and not just collecting warfare goes a long way for me. I hope and prey that I am never forced to...
