    Family and friends tracking you?

    OK I can see some control but why? If you are being tracked by your grandkids to see when you are going their way, or for an education reason - I can sort of see that but for the carrier or customer or who ever, why? Many have stepped away from this as a business and been treating as a big...

    Dems tell Obama don't run in 2012

    He will run in 2012 unless the country goes into the crapper and gets flushed. The problem is the dems are not in control of their own party, the present group who think it is alright to start looking for someone else forgets what he has brought to the party in support and votes. Even if they...

    Family and friends tracking you?

    I agree with Phil. I Do NOT want anyone to know where I am at except a customer and only if they want to know. There is an inherent danger with a lot of the work some of us do and to have the public have access to our location at times can be ... well ... not so good. I know that in places...

    All State Express

    Dave, Panther is a small player in the big picture. The industry include rail and air fright, not exclusive to the segment we are in. Beside I have been told several times that a lot of the freight we handle is not expedited as in "need it now" but overflow created by other parts of the...

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    Amonger, I want my laws in this state enforced. If that means telling van drivers who are registering their vehicles here to have proper signs and means of securing freight safely while making money in a commercial operation, then it my right and the right of the people of this state that are...

    All State Express

    Did any of us say that any of the components are going away? The application of Pareto Efficiency seems to be missing some elements when you figure out the volatility of the industry against the ecomony and other external forces like national debt so the use of Bayesian or Nash may be a better...

    All State Express

    Dave, What I sometimes wonder about small carrier who are doing well, why are they doing well? I think a lot of the problems carriers have is a lack of understanding how to manage resources within their company. One carrier I knew well had too many people doing too many single jobs - not a...

    Nugent broke game law in S.D.

    Kind of? that's mild I think that the best material his band put out was with Derick, even the later stuff they did together was better then the "dry period" Nugent had and still has without him.

    The American dream is alive and well- Barack Obama

    True to a point, not everyone thinks like you. I remember some idiots up in Algonac a while ago who claimed the same thing, they grew up on the ice, yada yada yada but seemed to forget that after a weeks worth of 60 degree weather and a good wet and warm rain there may be some danger to going...

    Don't want to sound mean but with the glut of vans on the used market at this time, just buy a van.

    All State Express

    no no no no, we do not want those to wake up at all, please please tell them how great of a job they are doing to keep doing what they are doing because it will mean more for all of us. What driver shortage? Vans are exempt so they will need just to increase the van population again and...

    The American dream is alive and well- Barack Obama

    OMG we have it so hard here in southeast Michigan it is like southern California some winters. I don't remember it being so hard in my adult life except in I think 1978 when we got dumped on with record snow. I don't remember the winter of my childhood happening in the last 20 years, where we...

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    I agree and admit I could have worded it a bit different. Here is another attempt at it. You as a driver may have to go through the same qualification process regardless if you do or don't driver a van. This is a common practice among carriers and some of the process is required by federal...

    unicell box only on ebay

    a single picture does not represent the product. A series of pictures exclusive to the description seems to be a better thing for a buyer to see. The manufacturer won't tell you the condition of the box, nor will they show you how it came off the truck. It is the same with EO classifieds...
