    Panther tractors

    I can't tell you how much my partner who runs a E unit at panther makes but I do know he paid off a brand new Freightliner Classic XL in 2 years. So he must be doing alright, but then again his wife has a good job (nurse) and their house and vehicles are paid for. So he really doesn't have alot...

    ROSE BOWL BOUND GO BUCKS

    Looks like it's gonna be Mo and WV in the national championship. I thought Ill was unranked when they beat OSU. Just like Arkansas was and is when we beat LSU.

    GVW, Logging and Deer

    I don't see how this would effect farmers. I mean around here they use class 8s to haul the grain into the mill with a "F" which is a farm tag. They have no dot or mc numbers that I'm aware of. If they do they put them on their trucks. They stay with the 100 mile radius so that excludes them...

    RE Landstar and Thinking Way, Way Ahead

    RE: availability Another serious thought Phil you could add decking to your box and then be able to stack the skids so the skids were that tall you may be able to actually haul 8 skids in your 10 foot box. Or do I not understand how decking works? I'm not trying to be a smart arse just throw...

    RE Landstar and Thinking Way, Way Ahead

    RE: availability Phil, Why not instead of a 18 foot sleeper get a 16 footer? Then couldn't you put on a 12 foot box and haul 6 skids? I think that would make more sense. That's a 192" sleeper!! That's pretty big if you ask me, but what do I know?

    I must have a low self esteem because if I had the money I would have a long and tall pete with a texas bumper, drop visor, and tons of chicken lights. Not to mention the POW/MIA mudflaps on the back. My cb handle(batman) under the driver's side window. My wife's name (Robyn) under the passenger...

    So if someone has pride in their ride they have a small penis. You may need to see a psycologist for saying that. I used to work at a chrome shop and all the drivers who came in there were really nice guys. If someone wants a sharp looking truck let them have it. If they want big 6 inch stacks...

    Landstar

    I know this is off subject but why is everyone so law suit happy around here? Is that how you all handle business, by sueing one another? I have a good feeling he was trying to see what positive changes could be made. Plus I think he is on the driver's council or whatever they call it so it's...

    Education on the Road

    I heard of something once called In Cab University, but I couldn't find anything specfic on it a minute ago. I did find some info about 500 drivers being enrolled in the program, and how they could earn all the way up to a bacholers degree in the truck. Sounds interesting. It would be something...

    How do I get background on a fleet owner

    I have driven for 2 owners. The first one stunk. He wouldn't give me a contract and I should have ran but I didn't. The second one was awesome. He had many trucks. About 20 I think. Leased to different companies, plus he did local pick up and delivery. Anyhow he had a guy that worked with him in...
