    Kepping Our Fingers Crossed!

    It reminds me too much of JBHunt. They'd 'ok' you right then, and get you to driving school; then pull you out of orientation, saying you weren't qualified. I've heard of that happening at Panther too. Personally, I'd be infuriated if they pulled that crap with me. If I'm qualified, tell me...

    Worker's comp?

    Michigan is 14% of your paycheck! I'd say 40 a week is reasonable enough.

    Finally done with the 5 stopper. Took 4 days! 1800+ miles. Lost the load to Cleveland. We're going home, dammit!

    We were conned into taking a five stopper, when we were trying to get home. 7 weeks is a little too long for me to be out. Little ones have missed me for over a month. Anyways, I accepted a load going from KS to VT. Only after that, I find out it's a 5 stopper! Only after I pickup did I find...

    What place do you like to fuel at?

    I fuel at the J cause it's generally cheaper. Since I pay cash, there's no credit price. And, they let me take 400 out of the machine. I like the fast food of Loves and Pilot. Love the menu and buffet at Petro. Love that chicken at Popeye's at TA. Rarely eat the laxative at the J.

    The Search for Reagan

    Reagan hated the amnesty bill he passed. He was promised several things the Democrats never delivered on. I can't totally blame him for it. When you have to give and take, not everything goes your way. I believe Reagan was a constitutional conservative. However, his hands were tied if he wanted...

    The Search for Reagan

    We've been spending the last 20 years looking for the next Reagan. Maybe the 2010 Congress will be his reincarnate? Maybe the next Reagan is the Amercian voter waking up? Reagan was a man, who had a philosophy, and shared that philosophy very eloquently with the people. I'm wondering if the...

    Is It Possible; McCain's Swansong?

    I, for one, would be glad to see McCain go.

    Petro in Las Vegas

    Probably not, if they knew they weren't allowed. :D

    Covert a class 8 tractor to straight truck

    Pros: - Nicer ride - More allowable weight = higher rate, IF you get with a company that'll utilize your truck when they can. - More power - Doesn't cost more to tag than a 2 axle, in most states - Last longer with decent care, than a class-7 Cons: - 4 extra tires - Watch your front end weight...

    Obama says he is agnostic......

    They only needed to live under Clinton. And to a lesser extent, Bush senior.

    Who's killing the rates?

    But how often are contractors privy to all that independents/companies are involved in? I'll admit SOME contractors know more about the whole biz than others... and maybe even some independents. But overall, it's like a football star knowing the intricacies of management. There's a reason...

    Who's killing the rates?

    I think what he means is that contractors tend to look at things in two dimensions; while companies have a complete perspective. Perfect example was Jefferson's thread awhile back, where he was getting lambasted by contractors; but the independents understood his meaning.

    Anaheim Convention Center... 6.5 hours waiting for my freight. That's not counting the hour we were early. Sometimes, ya just 'don't wanna'. :rolleyes:

    Obama says he is agnostic......

    Reminds me of "I tried my hardest! I really did! I just could not find a way not to tax all yer arses. So soddy!" :rolleyes:

    Who's killing the rates?

    My question is: If the one who posted the load were telling the truth about how much they had in it, why would Panther even mess with the load in the first place? My guess is they're lying. Panther is smarter than to take a load, where no one wants to go, for that cheap.
