Factoring has a different use tho. The factoring company takes care of collecting from brokers. They also pay right away, as compared to 30-60 day wait normally attributed to brokers. I can see paying a factoring company 3-5%... not Panther if they knock a whoppin 7 days off your wait.

I'm guessin Lansing doesn't have a Timmy's? :D

For those of us who don't have a pussy cat on our truck, what does this program entail?

Rock... I think you mistaken OVM for an immigrant fresh off the boat from some third world country, who wants to change the US to be more like his country. I disagree. I see OVM as someone who's interested in our problems (now his problems), and is asking questions. Sure, his ideas may be...

Lawrence... did you pick the sizes, or were they default? Think you could up em a little bit? Killer Rabbit needs to go! LOL

Sure they are. You can usually grab them around the waist with one hand.

I don't disagree with you, Jay. Injuries play a huge part in determining not only games, but seasons. Hawks of last year is a good case in point. Now look what would happen to the perfect season if a big fat Jax lineman did a superfly onto Brady. I'm actually struggling with myself over that...

Look on the bright side... Michigan won their game! :D

Wait a minute... you mean Windsor ISN'T a suburb of Detroit? :p

In other words... that truck is the mechanical equivalent of Leonardo DiCaprio.

Unfortunately, we can't use moving avatars. Hope that changes soon. :) Turtle... how do you insert those smilies?

A good chunk of freight works that way. When "preferred customers" are brokers and other expedite companies, no wonder cheap freight finds its way onto trucks at discount rates.

I don't think we need to vote as much as we need to lobby. Voting doesn't mean squat when the person you vote for is ready to toss you aside like a $3 hooker. But if one of us has the president's ear, and tells him, "Mr President... we're all taking a two week vacation starting next week. Oh...

Jayman... glad to see you back! :) Overall, the playoffs went the way I had hoped. Tho I have a soft spot for the Titans, I'd rather see the Jags go up against the Pats next week. Can't wait for next week! :D

On the contrary... my post was general in nature, and not pointed towards anyone. Like I said... just stating things I know. Like you said... NBD :)

Whitey... where did I mention Panther anywhere in my post? What I stated was: "Unfortunately, tho, what OVM states is too common an occurrence in expediting. Running week to week is the norm for most. And a little screw up on the carrier's part could mean the difference between the truck...

As a solo, I drive thru the night on about 80% of my runs. I average about a day between runs. Boredom only hits me when I run out of computer games. LOL Such is life when you're relying on a dispatcher. ;)

BRAVO!!! :D

Rich... I hear what you're saying. The Hawks had a bad call or two yesterday as well. I don't think the facemask you're referring to was an intentional bad call. It looked as if none of the refs got a good view of it as such. Maybe if the defender put his arms up, like they normally do to get a...

Unfortunately, tho, what OVM states is too common an occurrence in expediting. Running week to week is the norm for most. And a little screw up on the carrier's part could mean the difference between the truck moving/not moving and the driver eating/not eating. Not the best way to do business...
