Bottom line: no matter what you drive, or who you drive it for, we are all drivers. Doing Right In Various Extremely Rough Situations :)

Charlotte, I have something to say about the issue of drivers vs fleet owners. There is a perception among many drivers that fleet owners receive preferential treatment. After all, a disgruntled driver who leaves costs Panther one driver, but a fleet owner can pull a large number of drivers...

That goes waaay beyond scary! I agree: it's up to the carriers to uphold the standards, and reject drivers who cannot meet them. IMO, it would be better for the carrier to lose one load through inability to provide a driver in the area, than to use a driver such as the one you cited, and lose an...

Greg, would it be possible for you to post your copy of the MSP bulletin, as it is apparently at odds with the definition cited above by Turtle ("in combination with")? BTW, receiving a ticket for an infraction doesn't mean you actually violated any statute - as Turtle's post illustrates, the...

RE: Hey is this all true? Iraq really coming aroun >Greg is right on target about Arabs respecting strength. The >move into Iraq was a preemptive move and showed that >strength. Sadamm and allies like Syria were a potential >threat. Whether or not Osama was in Iraq is as totally >irrelavent...

Turtle got the info from the only place that counts: the official regulations. Asking any LEO is not gonna get you out of a ticket when the next one pulls you over, but asking them to cite the specific rule you're breaking will, if they can't find it. Highway Star, if you ever escalate your...

RE: Eatting a poppy seed bagel will make you test Like the bumpersticker says: "If you are what you eat, I'm fast, cheap and easy!" :+ For me, that means grabbing a piece of fruit or a carton of yogurt on the way out the door :+

RE: Eatting a poppy seed bagel will make you test What I'd heard about poppyseeds was that it took a LOT to test positive, but Snopes debunked that. Judging by the lawsuits filed, and won, by people who failed the test, any carrier that doesn't allow a second test, if the first didn't use the...

RE: Hey is this all true? Iraq really coming aroun Jayman: first, I'd like to say thank you for serving our country. Opposition to a war should not extend to those who are fighting, but only to those who decided to fight. Second, I'm not surrendering here, but only calling a cease-fire, until...

RE: Hey is this all true? Iraq really coming aroun Having gotten one thing right, I believe I'll quit while I'm ahead here!;) :+ :)

I've been called "bimbo" and didn't mind, lol, because I knew it was affectionate - the intent is what matters. Like reading or singing to babies: the words don't matter - it's all in the tone of voice. Which unfortunately, doesn't come through in type. :)

Along with a Conoco credit card, I also buy fuel at Pilot with the Comdata card. I like the convenience of not having to wait in line for a pump to be turned on, or a receipt.

We will have to vote again, if only to replace those who drop off the Council, but that's all we know so far - issues such as term limits haven't been clarified. Unless it was done on the QC - with mt van in the shop all week, I haven't seen the QC since Monday.

RE: Hey is this all true? Iraq really coming aroun Jeffman, I wish our military and the Iraqui government could overcome the hateful terrorists, but I'm not sure anyone can - the fighting in the Mideast has been part of life there for a very long time. We had no business going to war in Iraq...

Awww, that's so sweet! But remember, when Nicole "gets it done like a pro", it's more than just her old man she's making proud: all drivers, and especially the female drivers, appreciate the positive image. Thanks to you both for doing it, and sharing it, and long may you run!:)

I went through there last week, to & from a pickup in McConnellsburg, and I don't recall that specific bridge, but I do know that on the exit ramps, there needs to be more notice of the ramp speed. A heavy truck can't possibly slow from highway speed to 15-25 mph in the space given. Beginning to...

Bryan is right, we need to give it a chance, before we start saying it isn't going to work. I applaud the fact that Panther is attempting to address drivers' concerns, at least. If they're willing to listen to the people who do the work, and try to find mutually agreeable solutions, they could...

Userids & passwords are provided by Panther upon request. The password they gave me is such an odd word, I'll never worry about forgetting it, lol.;)

I jumped on the AdMuncher referral - I haven't watched tv or listened to the radio for a few years because the advertising is too distracting. However, after downloading the AdMuncher program, I was unable to access the internet again, till I uninstalled it. Did I goof, or is the whole net just...

As a one time occasion, one can always access the internet at a public library, [if you can find a computer not being hogged by gamers], but it isn't convenient as a regular thing.
