    Opening Day!!!

    I'm a Reds fan, but more than that I'm a baseball fan. I've seen many more Minor League and Independent League games than I have MLB games. The Major Leagues is The Show, it's all about the Stars. The Minor Leagues is all about the game. One of my favorite places to watch baseball is in...

    Black America

    Greg pretty much nailed it. Is America ready for a black president? Probably not, because we have to ask the question. If you look around the world, race relations are the worse in areas where integration has been forced upon the population. America is not unique in its problems with the...

    OMG I am IMPRESSED

    Leo, sorry, but that's simply not true. It may, hopefully, be true soon with these new boards, but it hasn't been true in the past with the boards. (For one, Panther never had boards, remember?) The computer would suggest going to Toledo because it thought there were only 2 trucks there, and the...

    Opening Day!!!

    Baseball is, actually, a lot like Hollywood, in the same sense that both are the entertainment business. But overpaid? Overpaid in relation to what? To what you and I make at our jobs? Is Tom Cruise overpaid because he makes $20 million for a movie that grosses $240 million? Is an author...

    They? Who is they? You've got two "they"s that both refer to the subject of the first sentence, namely, Panther dispatchers. Dispatchers dispatch loads that someone else has booked. The loads are booked by Customer Service Reps (CSR's) who deal directly with the customers. I can only assume...

    Are Recruiters Really the Lying Scumbags Drivers Say They Are?

    I'm an excellent driver. Yeah. Dad lets me drive slow on the driveway every Saturday. Yeah. Of course I don't have my underwear. I'm definitely not wearing my underwear. Have to get to K-Mart. Uh oh, fifteen minutes to Judge Wapner.

    Ripp Off Report

    Worked for me, but it's mainly a wasted click. Someone got hooked up with a bad owner and they want to blame Panther for not stepping up on the driver's behalf. There are several replies, all from people who think like employees, and think that Panther, rather than their fleet owner, is their...

    swift gets raided by FBI

    Apparently there are some irregularities with the Tennessee Department Of Safety's CDL License Center and the way they have been issuing CDL's. The TDOS office there is a part-time office, operating 3 days a week. The US Attorney's office has stated that Swift is not the target of the...

    Unfrickinbelivable

    A couple of times I have caught it where the loaded miles via the QC and the Open Payables was the same, but less than the miles listed on the Shipment Detail. Both times the Shipment Detail mileage was the same mileage as the Garmin, or extremely close to it, anyway. One time I caught it...

    Sprinter vs. Cargo Van

    What's that black "void" at bottom right? I thought that was your left nostril. I was actually going to ask what kind of camera and macro lens you used to take the picture of a semi-squished flying ant on your nose. But if that's your head, wow, that musta hurt. <cringe>

    8-2 Logging

    Yeah, I am. If your purpose was to compose this in a confusing manner, so as to illustrate how confusing the subject matter is, you did an excellent job. The very first sentence confused me, and it was downhill after that. "Let's say you have 14hr day drive for 6hrs." What does that mean...

    Drivers Council Meeting

    You can go to the Web site and post all the questions in the world, and read every scrap of information available, and you'll be only marginally better off. The Driver Council was ready, willing and able to offer input as to the new changes and how they were to be implemented, but they were...

    Hope you didn't buy that HD DVD

    You need a Blu-ray player to play Blu-ray discs, same as you need a DVD player to play DVD discs. It's basically that simple. Blu-ray players are backwards compatible, and will play Blu-ray discs, as well as DVD's and CD's. Blu-ray discs have Hi-Definition video, DVD's have Standard...

    Things to know

    Urban Legends Reference Pages: Clean Lint Filter Extends Life of Dryer It's true, by the way, but they also point the need to clean the moisture sensor screen when you clean the lint filter, as same waxy buildup that gets on the lint filter will also get on the sensor screen.

    Sprinter vs. Cargo Van

    "Oooh! Look! There's a bug on my nose. Quick, someone take a picture!" Thats what it looks like to me. Then again, I see Jesus in the clouds. No, wait, that's Pedro. Never mind.

    trucker gps usage

    One thing I really like about DeLorme is that is gives you the option of manually adding a new road that is doesn't know about. You're on some new bypasss driving through what DeLorme thinks is farmland, and you can tell it to add the route as a new road. It's very kewl. The new I-40 bypass...

    Moot: The miles on the load offer and on the load receipt should match the loaded miles shown online under Open Payables. It's what is showing in the Open Payables that you will be paid. There have been a couple of times when the load receipt matched the load offer, but the Open Payables showed...

    PII Poll

    Well, a D unit would probably get something in the neighborhood of, what is it, $150, $200? Something like that. As for the no-hotspot and first out, if they pay $100 for a mini, you get no First Out. That's what the extra money is for. (Currently, it's $50 plus a First Out for a cargo van). If...
