The study I saw actually narrowed down the window to the half hour after sunrise for spring, and half hour before sunset for the autumn time changes. The fall time change was something like ten times worse than the spring time change. It's theorized that it has to do with people being used to...

Yeah, that Arkansas ice storm in 06 was my second day out in a big truck. Trucks were shutting down for the night on the shoulder and the slow lane. Double parked on the roadway. eb

One of the items on my list of why I left Schneider Bulk Carriers was the qc nanny business. Every day the safety rep was at work there was a safety message. If it was so important to have a daily safety message then why were there no messages on the days he wasn't at work? For a company that...

Anything I post here I also post to the panther site. Think that one of the reasons people bring their discussions here is because there is at least some kind of feedback and explanation, even if it's second and third hand. eb

The answer I gave my doctor was that I am on track to be in the worst shape of my life. I ran a marathon in 2003 before getting into the truck. Couple weeks ago I couldn't even make it a mile. I've never been not able to run a mile since probably the third grade. I'm a feather-weight and...

hmm, I wonder how quick the board info refreshes. Does this make my mac 32 semi obsolete?

Seems to me pending paperwork has been clearing more quickly as well. See I don't always have something to complain about.

Now we're gettin somewhere.

Greg, I agree with you entirely. A major part of my point is that the company keeps me so much in the dark, I have no solid starting point to even begin to suggest ways to improve. eb

jwc, I can only speak for myself in regards to why you hear me "crying". You are convinced the panther system works. I'm convinced the panther system barely works. If it worked properly there wouldn't be such a big turn over in drivers.... The profits I could be making are being consumed by...

I'm thinking that the company's concept of this drivers council thingy isn't properly modeled. The company is using the drivers in the council to do something that should be handled by an entire department in the company. The driver members are consolidating input from drivers and passing their...

I had co pilot on my laptop for the hazmat routing, but it was so processor intensive. I could probably get to my destination before the computer completed it's trip plan. When they get the stand alone gps units up to big truck routing and hazmat, I'll be getting one too, and I'm in a cargo...

Hope it has hazmat routing. Didn't see it mentioned. eb

When I was using paper logs with schneider their policy was 7.5 minutes of whatever before changing duty status. It documents the majority of what the driver is doing during a particular 15 minute period. eb

Tires. Isn't it about -20 that the rubber turns rather solid? Sit for a few hours or overnite, and the flat spots want to stay flat spots. Takes a couple minutes of running very slowly to warm the rubber, so the tires run smooth. It feels like running on flat tires. Danger comes from trying...

Scuba, I'm sort of curious as to who these IT guys are. Is this Panther trying to build their own system or are they contractors who are supposed to know how to design these types of systems? I know people who do this kind of thing as contractors, and they go to the customer and actually...

The way I was taught at Schneider Driving Academy the pre-trip was a more extensive inspection than the post-trip. In Panthers orientation it sounded like they reversed it saying they wanted the extensive inspection at the end of the day. Couldn't figure it out but didn't press the issue since...

You want a better or worse answer? How about if I say--just as bad as before. No, I've not been moving enough during this part of the year to even get to the places I've sat, so it's too early to tell. eb

I had to go in and find the catalog. I've found the catalog from New England Solar Electric useful. The New England Solar Electric Web Site Much of their product descriptions are an education in themselves. In one description they will actually describe the product and compare it to...
