I have a Ford E 350 Ext Cargo van with a Bulk head. If I'm loaded with Freight I put a 5 gallon pail between the seats lay a thin sheet of plywood, a couple of mattress pads and a quilt. If I'm empty mattress pads and a sleeping bag on the floor. A magnetized reading light and I'm all set.

I'm having some trouble understanding the comparison of one year to the next. Last July (2007) Diesel was around $3.00 a gallon. This July (2008) Diesel was closer to $5.00 a gallon. One driver may drive a steady 65 mph to another who stays at 60 mph. How do you compare the results at the end of...

It may be true I am a "Truck Driver" and a "Businessmen" also, and I'm not complaining I have always been a slow learner and at this point in my Career I'm a better driver then Businessmen.

If you have to DH South The Big E, the New England Exposition Fair is going on in Springfield Mass. They have one of the largest collection of Team's of Draft horse's either side of the Mississippi. Fair ends this Sunday.

You wouldn't need 1 1/2 or 2" pipe. 3/4 or 1" schedule 40# would be plenty strong. #3 10' pieces, #4 90 degree elbows, #6 T's, #6 90 degree street elbows. Take two of the 10 footers cut them to 6' or what ever length you like, the amount left over cuts to the length for the ends. The six T's are...

I am a Cargo Van O/O for Bolt Express and have never asked them to get me home (as yet) BUT back in early August while in Mechanicsville Pa. One of my dogs who travel with me was injured, I was about 1.100 miles from home, notified Dispatch of the dogs injury & I was heading home. With in a half...

On Home lending, the person\Company making the original Loan takes their cut right off the top. Fees, Taxes, Appraisals are rolled into the loan. Most never take the time to read the information (Truth in Lending law) they are given prior to the loan as required by Federal Law.That being said...

A friend back in lower Conn. had a horse get out and be hit by a Mercedes Benz Wagon, Conn. State & local Police refused his request to put down the horse. Instead he had to wait until a Vet could be found on a late Sunday afternoon and arrive at the scene to euthanize the poor animal.

If the Truck gets 9 MPG @ $4.03 a gallon it would cost him minus any Tolls he might have $716.00 and change. If he needed the Freight and wanted a better place to sit $383.00 and change is better then $000.00 and change.

Mr. Shaker, if a driver changes an agreement with Panther, Panther keeps the O/O Escrow. I know this from personal experience.

I always thought to get an Average you totaled the figures/items and then divided by the amount (total) as in ten lines of figures should be divided by ten to get the average.

12 MPG average for a Diesel Cargo Van sound like a good deal to the O/O to me. As far as 3-6 months back up ask any Recruiter and he/she will tell you, you will be rolling in money within two weeks, maybe three at tops.

I fail to understand how some of you have such a problem reading print, it say's QUOTE, "Escrow Funds:appears on settlement as $20.00 Qualcomm satellite reserve and $40.00 truck insurance escrow x 15 weeks = $900.00 total escrow" end of quote TOTAL $900.00 ESCROW what is so difficult to understand?

there is a COST in doing business, it's called OVERHEAD. Having an O/O sitting for days at a time cost's the O/O not Panther.

According to various posting on this site Panther has 1,500 Cargo Vans/Sprinters under contract. Each having Panther deduct from there monies due at least $160.00 per week whether they are running or sitting. That's $240,000 a week to Panther. There is no way in the world that Panther pays...

Spring through Fall. It's eaiser to find shade some where, as long as you lie still it's bearable. Ice tea, cold soda or what ever your pleasure it's eaiser to cool off then it is to get warm. My opinion. Plus it's very difficult to find someone to break pond ice for the mules when I'm out of town.

Thank you. There are still two, Con-way & CFI, lot's of Con-Way through Mississippi, Tenn, & Alabama. Are they seperate companies?

I don't have $20.00 per week the figures are from the Panther web site. "Escrow Funds: "Appears on settlement as $20.00 Qualcom satellite reserve and $ 40.00 truck insurance escrow x 15 weeks=$900.00 total escrow" I don't see how this can be misunderstood.

If "Conway" folded up why are there ton's of "Con-Way" Blue and White trucks on the road and also a ton of "CFI" Red and White on the road. There both Conway just spelled different.

I never said they owed me anything more then what was escrowed. Which clearly states on the Panther web site $60.00 15 weeks = $900.00 total escrow.
