Thanks everyone. Next time I want something I'll ask here first. Sure would save a heck of a lot of time. Thanks again.

Sweetpete, do you have a wife or someone who expects you to be home now and then?? If there is anyone in your life that you don't want to loose you will want to talk it over with them. Being away from home most of the time can be real hard on the best of relationships.

Thanks Moot, I can't for the life of me understand why I could not find them when I looked before.

Morningstar55ny, You mentioned Native American. If you are ever lucky enough to get in the Bismarch Nd. area and you have some time, stop into FiveNations Art. They are in a little place called Mandan, Nd. It is a museum and store all wrapped up as one. Everything they have is Native...

Thanks Booker, I went to their web site and couldn't find any plastic ones. Do they have a store where you got yours?

Can anyone tell me where to get plastic placard holders. I already know they don't last well and all the other bad things about them but thats what I want. I have looked for several months at all of the regular places, truck supply, JJ Keller even Northern Tool but no one has them where I have...

I guess you guys are too old to remember Annette from the Mickey Mouse Club

Let me start out by saying, Thank You for being in the military. Now on to something you don't want to hear, You sound like Panther is a hobby. Do you think that you should be treated just the same as another contractor who works at it all the time? You stated that after two weeks...

Sounds great to me. But what would keep people from going out of the country to buy their big ticket items?

How could two weeks off drop your in-service percent all the way down to 45%?

To get information on any trucking company you only need the (proper company name) the mc# or the dot# then go to SAFER Web - Company Snapshot You can find all kinds of info from miles driven to the number of accidents reported, etc.

About the only drawback that I can think of right away is how do you stop people from just going out of the country and purchasing their big ticket items. Other than that I think it is too good to be true.

Yea Greg, I know what you mean. But expecting everyone to pay their fair share and being responsible for their own actions would be out of the question.

I'm not against profit. Without profit none of us would make a living. What I am against is tax cuts without spending cuts. We cannot continue to spend like there is no tomorrow without a way to pay for it.

Yep, we sure do need to keep giving the oil companies tax breaks. For that matter give everyone more tax breaks. Who cares if we don't have money to pay for road repairs or any other government service. Spend like there is no tomorrow. After all there will be new generation to come along...

Okay, I found them, they are listed as Load One LLC. According to their MCS-150 filed for 2007 they ran 7,220,000 miles for the year and had 74 drivers. That works out to something over 74,000 miles per driver. Hope this helps.

Well, that shows how far out of the loop I am. But it still makes me wonder about a mc or dot#. Must be a DBA or a sub. of another company.

Who are you talking about? Where are they located? I looked up load 1 and they don't have a DOT or MC #. I found a load one express in Memphis but they only have 2 trucks and 2 drivers. They didn't report any miles driven in 2007 so they are either brand new or they are not very busy.

The freight went to the internet. At one time shippers had to call Roberts, Panther, Try State or some other expediter. Now they just post it on the internet and someone just wanting to pay for their fuel to get home will haul it for next to nothing. When I first started with Roberts Express...

#8 Good question. Piper1 nailed it re: taking the ferry, but can you take class 1 on a ferry? It might depend on the sub-class and another question is will the ferry operator even permit explosived on his ferry. My copilot allowed me to route using the ferry with explosive cargo but that...
