Looks like a worthy cause.

Moderators are always feuding over who gets paid more. :cool:

I think his comments are more driven by the fact he got banned a day last week for being goofy and his "I am spying on you" thread got edited. The other information I gave is basic common knowledge without a percieved agenda. Don't want anyone thinking I am not giving a straight answer.;)

I was hoping at some point he would figure it out. Boredom can effect people differently.:cool:

I gave you a straight answer in post #21. You just didn't like the answer.

There is a way to address these problems.

You answer is simple. I used Word when I responded. Nothing more to read in to it. Sometimes when I respond it is delayed because I am doing something else. They are discussing vans which I have none and no dog in the fight. The result and response would be the same whether I was a moderator or...

Only surprise there is he didn't use the EPA;) "Have to ban those dirty guns". That may be coming as well.

That would be an indication of something not so complicated to fix.

That is kind of a strange requirement but nonetheless, why not throw 30 or 40 dollars in of your own money and go home. No need to complicate the simple.

You can be put out of service without the "Out of Service Sticker" on the windshield. Case in point, we had a DOT inspection in KY and the inspection revealed a loose connection screw on one of the brake chambers. Would have been tough to identify with a pre-trip unless someone else was...

All great advice for folks starting out. If both are new or even seasoned professionals I think a handy item is the small walkie talkies. Easy to use and no confusion on hand signals which I have seen a few times. Cheap investment for another set of eyes in a tight spot.

Another consideration that probably should be considered is the cost to insure and interest payments IF someone financed either one. Just another angle to look at. Especially when new vehicles are getting into the 30 to 50k and higher.

May want to call them again or PM Moot for their rates. Even the EO banner says $1.00 plus. That .90 cents may just represent the paid linehaul miles and nothing else?

I don't think you are comparing accordingly. If so, everyone would be at Landstar. The reality is, you guys do a lot deadheading and that is factored in your rate. You are providing a loaded rate only. Where do you get Panther vans run at .90 cents? That isn't factual and I don't even run a...

Excellent. Once one has that and one that is similar to the Sprinters, you can start to make some intelligent choices. Keep in mind also, that one would have to look at the available days and revenue as well. Only because you would need the answer of, "does one produce more revenue than the...

$1.29 for ALL miles in a van isn't realistic. The rates aren't there to support that over a period of time unless someone is just doing a handful of low mileage runs. Then maybe, but then without some quantity, you have a broke driver. That is where you get a driver running at a great rate, but...

After all these posts, it seems no one really knows the cost of each over a period of time. We have a Chrysler T&C;) so we have no dog in the fight. I think to compare you need a history or a fleet owner running both to compare. There will always be some differences but it will be back and...

No. Receipts you send to Panther is it.
