    Panther guys?

    IDK; like I said, I was just guessing. Just the same, it looks like they're trying to thin the herd a little. How they do it, I don't pretend to know; it also has no effect on me anyway.

    Panther guys?

    I'll readily admit to being 100% ignorant concerning the situation discussed here, but could it have something to do with Panther's having been acquired by ABF? Anytime you merge two companies, there are always redundancies, and it may be easier for Panther to winnow out some of their O/O's so...

    Has your truck ever killed your Cell phone?

    This was in 1985, with a paid private squad in Philly. The truck was a '79 Chevy. I quit running EMS in 1992 after my back went south. :( BTW, re: the PM you sent me, you're welcome. :)

    Has your truck ever killed your Cell phone?

    Same thing for me in an ambulance; no cell phone problems, just a starter fire. Philly FD sprayed the console as well as underhood. The rig sat for almost a year being repaired. I wasn't that worried; as long as I got the patient, the oxygen and the $7000 defibrillator out, in that order, my...

    Question Regarding Whirlwind Express

    Picked up their info packet at last year's Expo; the contract looked like it was written by a 3rd grader. Now this thread, telling me it takes 3 months to get paid. One more carrier crossed off the list. This proves that EO can really be a newbie's best friend! :)

    C/V weight limits

    Saw a Chevy 1500 pickup at a masonry place one time, with half a cube of block, 14 bags of cement and a ton of sand in the bed. Tot it all up, you get 5000 lbs. Asked the guy how far he was going: "Philly, why?" I was stunned! 60 miles on your bump stops? Riiiight....

    Am I in the right place?

    I respectfully disagree. If JW gets on with someone like Prestige, etc he might find himself with Staples or similar deliveries, where he'd have cases of paper, or bookshelves, or other heavy items. Do that every day with an E150 and you might be asking for trouble. When I did Staples my van...

    Ford cargo van 2500 extended vs short base

    Guido, your response is 100% correct; but it sounds like the OP already has his van. Sprintit, don't be afraid to do some local or regional work for a year or so. Your van is more suited to this as opposed to long-haul expediting, and you'll learn after only a couple months what you want in a...

    Driving Record question

    For real! I wouldn't suggest any speed higher than 70; some guys & girls here don't see the high side of 65. Try it; your tires, transmission and especially your brakes will thank you. Not only that, but your wallet will be crying tears of joy when your insurance rates go down and you're...

    Tandem Axle Straight Truck Help

    Don't forget, if he goes into NYC he also faces length and height restrictions, as Phil talked about a couple months back. 12'6" to go thru the tunnels, and was it 35' or 40' max length? IDK, my van is only 20' from stem to stern, by 7' high :)

    Owning a sprinter van- being a owner operator

    Curious, Chmiel; what's your MOS? If it involves trucking, maybe that will give you a leg up on finding a job (prior experience-wise) :) From me, too: Thanks for your service :D Harry Cannon-cocker, 1979-81
