Bike and rollerblades? I have a Panther team that just unloaded and are on there way to the Pilot. They are requesting a large pizza with everything. They thank you in advance for your efforts. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

If you are with Panther, you can obtain loads from any source as long as they get their 15 percent for insurance and authority. There are a few exceptions, and those are from deadbeat companies that can't pay their freight bill. And like Hawk, I will on occassion book a load for someone else. I...

Thanks for sharing some great tips and information. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

For what you are trying to accomplish, I would consider a dedicated run or route. The other option is to obtain your own authority so you have some control over the logistics. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

This is a scary thread Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

It is great to hear positive comments. For the reasons above and others is why we have bought numerous trucks from them. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

That is a interesting concept if the logistics for all could be worked out. We visit with all of our drivers when time permits and they are passing through. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

This interesting as we use Roadrunner. Can you use any aircard? Or does it have to be something specific? Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Ummm??????? where have I heard that "I can make millions in expediting"? Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Recaps are illegal on the steers. Ok on other axles. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Set up as a independent company or contact carriers directly to get on their list. I find it easier to use a agent within a company so they do the majority of the searching for you. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

At six trucks, I would move to a $1.30 rate. At 40 percent your .48 cents is offered by many others. Drivers in general make more at 60 percent plus 100 percent of the fuel surcharge. At 25 cent average for FSC, plus 60 percent, the drivers @ 60 percent are ahead. Which would you pick, your...

That may be your first clue. To be fair, ask the owner again in case there was some sort of miscommunication. If you get the old folks home again, I would walk. I would interpret that as NO references. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Jeff Brown at Churney is selling these and might be able to provide some references of folks driving them now. Additionally, if in Cleveland, you might be able to test drive one. Their number is on the advertisement here on EO. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Could always go inflatable. They sell them at Pro Bass Shops. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

We have only had service work done at KW in Houston. Very good and much better than Houston Freightliner. Our KW purchases have come from KW Palmer in Ft Wayne and Indy. Ed Strange at Indy has been around for a long time and is very knowledgable on custom truck builds. He works more on a select...

For that amount of money, I would certainly pursue it. I as well would contact OOIDA once they have your written information. Keep us informed as you go. These are the type of owners the business doesn't need. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I would agree with the other comments. Make sure your payments are within reason and for reserves, have somewhere between three and six months of business and personal monies available. Why? Because outside of your startup costs, you must be prepared for the unforseen. For example, we knew of...

Race makes a very valid point. All to often the most important items get overlooked. It can be easy to get focused on the paid tourist aspects, and forget about the business side. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator
