    one week is all you got

    You realize expedite is more of a team set up and Panther uses paperless logs. So if you are use to fudging to run extra miles you won't be getting that. I think a member here who goes by Scuba is a Panther t/t solo. You might want to pm him since he will know more about the situation. I know he...

    looking for loads

    I used to be a member of that site and felt it was just another getloaded.com. It really has more general freight than it does expedite freight. It would be good for a t/t I would think.

    Why do people get into this Business and take off 25% of the year?

    Leo said something like 124 days that the average non trucker takes off a year. This figures out correctly, but figure the hours they are home at night when you are in the truck. That comes out to an additional 151 days. So all together you could say the average Joe takes is off of work 275 days...

    Cargo Van Questions

    Last I heard there were alot of job openings in Wyoming in the oil field business. They make pretty good scratch. I don't know what a roustabout makes but they was going to pay me as a cdl driver 23.00 an hour to start. The company was called St. Mary's Oil Exploration company. You just have to...

    Fleet owner observation

    I understand that. I hauled for one carrier that had in the contract that you couldn't find your own freight. I mean you could look for loads and then call them about it, but it had to pay what they wanted it to and then they would pay you your contract rate. Nothing more, but nothing less than...

    Just to let Bruno and everyone else know I was just picking and joking around in what I said. I know he was speaking positive of the site. I was trying to derail the whole "EO restricts my 1st amendment rights spill" because I get tired of it. Sorry if I offended anyone. Next time I will choose...

    Fleet owner observation

    It's good you look for loads for your trucks while they are sitting. Some owners will just let you sit.

    Thank you Lawrence. EO is a tool Bruno, Why would you say such things as that. Sorry I saw how I could delete part of the positive and spin it into a negative and I thought it was funny. I don't actually know what it means to call someone a "tool" but the high school kids that come to...

    60/40?/fair?

    Well I paid my wife's car payment and the water bill every month off of that tarp pay. Tarp pay is kind of like an in between equipment and people thing. It takes a person to do it, but have you ever priced a set of lumber tarps made out of the light weight material? They aren't cheap. You take...

    Plus doesn't the 1st amendment only apply to the government restricting your free speech? I don't think I remember my government teacher saying anything about a private group.

    You need to read the Code of Conduct for EO. You just can't come on here putting peoples names out there and bashing them. Personally I think they did you a favor. If I were a fleet owner thinking of hiring you and saw that it would make me think twice about the hire. Mainly because how do I...

    60/40?/fair?

    If you have to hand unload something you should get paid for it. If you have to tarp a load you should get paid for it. My boss charged customers 120 bucks for me to tarp a load. He gave me twenty of it. I could tarp most loads in about an hour and a half. That meant I made 13.33 per hour while...

    Panther Drivers

    When I was in the Marines we had a deal like that on base that was ran by the Marine Corps Community Organization. I think that is what you call it. They had all kinds of tools. They even had a couple of long term use bays. One Sarge of ours rebuilt the engine in his Pontiac GTO in one. Of...

    Nostradamus Prediction about a charismatic leader !!

    Well since we are talking about the Bible and the end of time I feel I need to throw this in. The Bible says the Angels in Heaven don't even know when Jesus will return. It also says Jesus doesn't know. Only the Father. So if only the Father knows and he won't tell Jesus why would he tell a man...

    What is Cheap Freight, Really?

    I'm going to weigh in and try to answer your question Phil. Let's just say it costs you a dollar a mile to run your truck. 1 dollar is a good even figure that's why I picked it. Well I know I could run for a company and make 36 cents a mile as a company driver without some of the headaches I...

    New Harvard Study On Iraq

    I think if you are protesting the war you are giving the enemy strength to fight another day. They feed off of that. That extra day they fight results in American casulties which results in more protesting which helps them even more. Why can't we all just get along? The sad thing about it is...
