She is a piece of work. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I would agree with Teamcaffee. A minute isn't long enough. It may provide a surface answer as to whether milage to pickup, the run, and DH if any to the next load is acceptable. Additionally, we look at how many loads from where the truck is at, how many trucks in that location, and then the...

He may be using the kayak to ferry shipments acrossed the Rio from Laredo? Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

That is cool. Can only one external link run off of it, or several. I could see some uses on that. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I can't say anything about the person in question. It would be advisable to contact this owner and have them provide references of current and past drivers. That will give you a clue of what to expect. Good luck Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

If you know your cost per mile and where the freight is, you will have the majority of it figured out. That is how you are seeing many with low deadhead numbers. It is easy to get wrapped up in the paid loaded miles. Always watch for what you are making for ALL miles. As for KC, for us it is a...

Jon Mosier will steer you right as far as a truck purchase. But, as mentioned, if you are just starting, I would recommend driving for someone first. That would include a possible owner with your company of choice. Big mistakes can happen if you have never driven before. Even more so if you are...

Plenty of wifi options for internet. All the way to have a satelite internet set up. As for TV satelites, it depends on what your budget is. You can go from stational at a reason price, all the way to in motion systems. Whether trucking or RV'ing, we love having the satelite. Davekc owner...

Depends on the company, but there are plenty of loads from Ft. Smith and Little Rock. Also from alittle up north in Sprigdale ect. Panther does alot of loads to the IH bus plant in Conway. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Was there a final outcome on your repair? Might help some other Sprinter drivers. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

You are correct. An 11 footer can be had, but it is not usually a stock set up. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I would make sure you are recieving 100 percent of the fuel surcharge as well. Didn't see that mentioned. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Ditto on Terry and Tony's posts. Lookin forward to many more years Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Pretty scary to say the least. Glad you made it back home. Like anyone, I hate to see a true expediting pioneer and friend have to stop. But, one has to do what is right for them and their family. Grace and I are glad everything went well. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Good to know on the rigmasters as we have one on one of our trucks. So far it has been durable. Only repair so far is a broken alternator belt. The proheat so far has been decent but that is based on a short amount of time on a new truck. Truckgen has been pretty reliable as well and anything...

Good advice. Going into business with a handshake is no different than buying a house on a handshake. I see little difference between the two. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Ours is higher at 10 to 15 depending on the truck. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Where's the QC?? Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

>Dave, I'm with you on wondering about the secrecy and the >engineers. The truck does'nt appear to be anything new. ==================================================== Some have to create controversy when they can't think to write about anything. Many knew of both truck builds. The second...

We have been pleased with current and past dealings with Kenworth of Indy. If purchasing, I would call and ask for Ed Strange. Very knowledgable and has always took care of us. If doing conversions or custom sleepers, he is very well connected and knows his stuff. KW of Indy is part of the...
