    DUTY TIME ON DAYS OFF

    From my experience, we went from MI to OH to pick up some chairs for my uncle. I called Panther to ask them about it. They told us to cover up the DOT numbers with a piece of cardboard that read "Not for Hire". They also told us to log it driving time. I believe the logging was just their...

    Piddiddle or Popeye I've heard it called. Don't think it's a regional thing... just weird. LOL

    Where Are Van Drivers

    Just like it's hard finding an honest owner, it's hard to find a good driver. MA... I believe I understand what you're saying. If he's wanting YOUR financial info, and not just a copy of the settlements, that sounds weird to me. If it's just the settlements he wants, nothing wrong with that...

    INFO ON DUI

    Not sure. If you start pulling over fat ppl cause they look like they didn't pass a DOT physical; that's sort of like pulling over a black man cause it looks like he's hiding something. I think it boils down to not enough of the doctors who do DOT physicals are legit. But I also think DOT sets...

    Where Are Van Drivers

    Asking for a settlement isn't going overboard. I ask to have one, being that I get xx% of everything, that's how I know what everything is. Not saying the owner would cheat us, but there's always that possibility. Moreso, the company isn't always accurate on what they pay. Sometimes, they'll...

    DUTY TIME ON DAYS OFF

    The only question that I could see pertaining to the topic is #32. The errand is at your leisure, so it's off duty. I'm kinda upset that they don't go more into details about driving/off duty time when you don't have any commercial responsibilities.

    Getting ready too purchase

    I don't know if I can agree with that. The prices at Mid Georgia aren't all that bad, as compared to FYDA. They're right around Knoxville's range. Question is, why hide the fact that you have respectable prices? That's a big turnoff for me as well.

    Best way to Long Island...

    Heck... I just told him take 95 to the Throgs Neck to the LIE. Seems the easiest way to LI. I always take the White Stone to JFK. Either bridge goes to 495. Just can't see any reason to get off the expressways.

    Daughters and Dads things to do

    You'll never forget those times. My daughter pressed the button I told her to, and I'll remember her face till the day I die when the air horn went off. :7 Unfortunately, I can't take anyone with me. But, we'll see if either company policies or companies change in the next 5 years or so. I...

    Truck Purchased!!!

    Not when you figure it'll be about $2500/mo for 5 years, depending how much they put down. That wouldn't make me too happy. But hey... don't have to pay drivers that way :7

    INFO ON DUI

    Now you want DOT to stop obese drivers at the scale and check their cholesterol and blood pressure? Why not nip it in the bud and have them removed from the buffet? Since I'm a smoker, they can check me for blood pressure. I know of at least one diabetic who shouldn't be driving. Let's ban...

    Best way to Long Island...

    Broom asked me to post this, seein as he's driving right now. He'll be there late at night on a Sunday, so no worrying about traffic. What way do you take out to Long Island (via the LIexpressway)?

    You have to see - warning political graphic

    I see a big correlation between that site and rense.com. A lot of bashing of Israel and conspiracies about our government and such. Not that I don't believe some of these things they say, but I think if you overflow your site with the unbelievable, you discredit the factual.

    That's good news! Glad to hear a deserving couple are going to run a behemoth like that. :D

    I can only speak of my experience with Panther. When I was solo, a lot of my hours were used to dh. That limited my loaded miles. Granted, I was solo during Feb/March, but I barely squeeked out my truck payments for those two months. When I teamed with my nephew, we still ran mostly solo runs...

    Greg... just going with what I've heard. FXCC is known to be a team company, probably moreso than Panther. And I've driven solo with Panther, and barely made the truck payments.

    Panther II Drivers - O/O's LOOK

    I agree, Joebob. But these companies aren't going to show you their homework. You're better off doing your own. God forbid they have contractors who can make INFORMED decisions. Then they'd feel they have to answer to us.

    First mistake... running solo for FXCC.
