    Be Our Guest!

    I quess it depends on what you are into. There is some kind of museum in or around downtown Louisville. Not sure about being open on a Sunday. Mammouth cave is another one, but only has a value during the day. The other option is to go a few hours and do the riverfront at Cincy. You can park at...

    Are cargo van runs realy THIS slow right now?

    Several responses. A van in Kansas needs to move east. I would question two van loads a day from Wichita. Possible, but I would question it. Those sound like straight or tractor numbers rather than van numbers. But, anything is possible depending on the customer(s). Columbia and Joplin are other...

    What does it take to keep a good team?

    Even though I am a fleet owner, I think Ateam's expectations are right in line, and should be expected. Anything less, is either a broke owner or one trying to screw you. If the shoe was on the other foot, I would have his listed expectations short of the Fedex or reefer requirement...

    great life before expediting

    I think that is one of the best things about EO. It does provide a platform in which new people can get information or opinions in order to make an informed decision upon entering the profession. A dose of reality is paramount prior to making any large financial commitments. Many take great...

    Are cargo van runs realy THIS slow right now?

    Worst case scenerio is to find a company that lets you locate your own freight. Granted, van freight is tougher to find, but I wouldn't be sitting anywhere waiting weeks for a load. There are numerous options, but you have to be somewhat creative. You may not get rich, but you likely won't be...

    Are cargo van runs realy THIS slow right now?

    If you are in a van unless you are home, you would likely do better closer to KC or something in MO. Current load boards show little van freight in that area. Of course no cystal ball here, but odds aren't staggering. Hopefully you get something soon. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO...

    OPINIONS ARE JUST THAT

    To any reasonable person, that post has no controversial or objectionable opinions, I would respectfully disagree with you. More members objected, or didn't share the authors opinion, than approved. Obviously it was controversial just based on the fact it generated 48 responses and was slanted...

    Kathy Is 1250 enough to run your roof air? We have one on a big truck and 1250 isn't enough because of the initial power surge at compressor start up. Just curious? Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

    OPINIONS ARE JUST THAT

    Taking a swipe at nearly every post on this forum is like taking poison in an attempt to make someone else miserable. When a controversial item or opinion is posted, it is likely to generate a controversial response. The results shouldn't be a surprise on a public forum. If one is posting...

    great life before expediting

    I think it is like any profession. It is just people venting in the areas that they would like to see improvement. Very comparable to the current fuel prices or HOS. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

    sprinter and generator

    The only one I can remember is the Sprintergen. It is made in Jacksonville by truckgen. You may have to call them. I can't remember the price or specific specs. They are at www.truckgen.com If in Jacksonville, they are a mile east of 295 and Commonwealth. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO...

    Another HOS question

    This has been our first dealing with the new HOS. They are a pain to say the least in expediting. The 14 hour rule has been the biggest challenge. As mentioned, trips need to be planned carefully to avoid getting in a location bind. I hope the HOS challenge is successful to help the single...

    OPINIONS ARE JUST THAT

    You are correct in that they are opinions. Since it is a public forum, one shouldn't take a disagreement or difference of opinion as personal. Same school of thought if something is misleading to the new folks. It is easier for me and other moderators to respond within the thread rather than...
