    Panther Squuezing fixed fsc??

    Chef... quarterly may be too much of a range for most to look at. Maybe best for large fleet owners. Monthly is probably best for the typical o/o.

    Gvwr

    Like the Col said, it depends on who you run for. A dispatch that looks for multiple loads, or t/t loads that fit 22-24' is important. I agree with Moose about a liftgate, but not a reefer. Solo or team, the thing will produce. And the extra axle will give a smoother ride.

    Fuel Price Alert !!!

    Gas was $4.49 all along 40/81. Got fuel for 3.78 in TN today. Sitting in Dublin, VA, and it's 3.99 here.

    Who to vote for???

    I don't know what you have against Archer, Beemer. He was the best thing to happen to Detroit in a long time, IMO. After 20-some years of Young, it was refreshing to hear a Detroit mayor was actually working with the state. Now, Qwami the Swami is just a thug, plain and simple. Kinda reminds me...

    Who to vote for???

    You hijack the thread about Palin, NOW you want to talk about who to vote for??? Here's what I think... does anyone know of a good restaurant near Hesperia, CA? I'm getting tired of Wendy's. I can't believe a double with cheese is $4!!! At least their chicken nuggets are still .99. Whataya...

    McCain's VP

    And what do you call "No child allowed to succeed"? I call it liberal indoctrination! And what about so much pork being passed, you'd think everyone had bacon farts? Tax rebates? Those were welfare checks! And today I heard the feds are taking over Fannie and Freddie. Hey Greg... tune up the...

    QC $11.53/wk

    And how do you know this, being that you get all your vittles from the same cook? Since I left Panther, all of my runs came from me NOT having quallcom, OR its expense. That explanation sounds about as silly. Fact is, your carrier DEMANDS you have quallcom; thus, you have it. Mine doesn't, so I...

    Bill Clinton? :D

    McCain's VP

    But he seems to be a few cards short of a full deck. I'd vote for Colin Powell, even tho he's not very conservative. Michael Steele is another one I'd consider. Either would've been a good choice for VP. Neither are RACE :censoredsign:S!!! They are American first. THAT is what I look for in a candidate...

    Have Americans lost their minds?

    That's ok, Crazy. You don't have to make up excuses of why you're voting for Obama. We understand. ;) Obama also said he wouldn't play the race card; yet he's played it like a symphony. That's fine that HE'LL leave family out of it; but my guess is his cronies will treat it as fair game...

    The NUVI 760

    IMO, the gps is supposed to work IN CONJUNCTION with your other tools - atlas, mapquest, etc., not take their place. It's also not meant to take the place of your brain, not supposed to steer your truck, and it doesn't make streets wider in Phili so your truck can fit. That's why I don't have...

    Have Americans lost their minds?

    No, not all Muslims are terrorists or extremists. Would you want to take the chance your Commander in Chief is or is not? Whatever Osama is, he's trying to hide it. That point is obvious.

    Parking a 'big rig'

    Now we understand why they did the rules like they did. But one thing makes me question... if semis are that much harder than straights, why do straights have the same rules? Don't make no sense! :p

    Happy with the switch?

    More freedom, more money, more pressure, and yes, I would do it again. Also include into that more expenses and more accountability. Will never run for another owner; and, if I can help it, another company.

    McCain's VP

    Dreamer... they can spin it any way they want. To me, it's a non-issue. She did what was right, if in fact that's the whole story. My jury is still out on her. I like the pick, but not sure if it outweighs my "McCain disdain". Romney would've been a lock. A few things I wonder about his...

    Parking a 'big rig'

    Same thing happened to us in NE a week ago. Parked with spaces on either side, and of course, a truck had to park next to us. One got close, we laid on the horn, and he tried again. He eventually gave up and moved on. Another one was backing in and SOMEONE ELSE blew their horn cause he was about...

    New Bees, & I am ready

    I try very hard to keep a child's eyes when driving. NH still gives me goosebumps to a point. Broken down in UT, Scott and I still marveled at the backdrop of plateaus. Colorado was new for me, as I'd never seen that stretch of 70 west of Denver. OK and KS are still deserving of a trucker's...

    OK I'm ready for this

    I'd like to emphasize what Ateam said: Get at least a few clear months of driving experience before Jan. I'd say the best time to start is May, if you have that luxury. If not, Sept. As far as figuring out which loads to take or not, first you have to know where freight is. Once you know...

    Nastiest Truck Stop on the Planet

    I was gonna post about the Oasis, but couldn't remember where in IL it was. I had the misfortune of taking a shower there. $9, and Abu was happy to take my money. Afterwards, it was like he didn't even notice me as a customer. His attitude was as crappy as the shower was.

    Who's staying out this weekend?

    I'd be out if it weren't for the fact that I got a load home, and the new clutch depleted my profits. :p
