Same here, we have had excellent results with the meaner power cleaner. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

I probably should clarify a few things. Our situation may be slightly different than some due to Elite services and we obtain a percentage of our own loads. With that being said, I think the whole industry has and will continue to see a shift from the big three. We still do a few auto runs, but...

RE: Business 30 - 40% off at Panther II/Vans in th What are these numbers? They don't indicate a drop in frieght as we have been running. I don't know how the vans are running. We are just stopping to reset hours and that is about it. And for what its worth, we have had several auto runs, but...

Seems odd unless you are in a van. What size vehicle are you in? Sorry, I just seen on another post you are running a M2. You may want to consider some brokered freight in the farther located places. As mentioned in another post, we have been busy like the others. Davekc owner 21 years...

RE: Not sure if this is the right question here, b The latest info from different sources is that the new 07's after Jan will be 5 to $7,500 more. Additionally, they will require service to the dpf system which at MATS they are saying 1,000 to 1,500 each time. Ouch! Davekc owner 21 years...

RE: Business 30 - 40% off at Panther II/Vans in th Same deal here. We are running very well with all of our trucks. As far as decals, they do charge if you can't make it 90 days. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

That is a cool run. One of my favorite things when we were driving was going on a trip to somewhere that was new. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

We bought a 05 from Jon Mosier with few miles and have been totally satisfied. We have put 100,000 on it since last August and it has been trouble free. Can't complain about that. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

312,000 to $416,000? Quite possible with an expediter truck hauling something that isn't expedited frieght. Something illegal will put you at those numbers. That is where the millionaire trucker posts are coming from. Those numbers are possible for a given week, but a long way from an average...

They say they are compatible for any deisel, all the way to a loco? The other thought is Pittsburg Power. I think they only do Cat engines. The other autostarts are for deisel generators. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

When we talked the other night, this is the one I was thinking of...

In past experience I would say that issue by itself shouldn't hurt anything. I will say that if another fault code goes through, you will be unaware of it. If you have a Cat, have them check both speed sensors. Truck will run on one and throw a fault code, but if that final one goes...you are...

RE: Business 30 - 40% off at Panther II Business is off for vans but has increased on straights and tractors. I would be willing to bet that the trend will continue. Van business is seasonal and very competitive. It can still be profitable but you must plan accordingly. Davekc owner 21...

If you go to work for Dave KC, he likes to be called every four hours, particularly if you get lonely on an all-nighter ===================================================== I went to Dr. Phil's rehab and have been able to move to a five hour program with the aid of dash and sleeper cams :7...

RE: Do you take the time to continue your educatio I think you missed my point. Insurance is only designed to cover an accident or theft, and usually with a high deductible. Many areas of Mexico have alot of corruption within certain jurisdictions. It is a common theme on the nightly news...

One of our trucks has a wineguard omnidirectional. It is sold at different places but is $99.00 at Camperworld. We run this with a antenna booster and it works real well. I hope this link works http://www.campingworld.com/browse/skus/index.cfm?skunum=8991&src=SRQB Davekc owner 21 years...

I don't see a value in knowing what person dispatched a load. It either is profitable to run, or it isn't. The short runs are harder for a company to cover so it is likely a more seasoned dispatcher is working on the short runs. I quess the only other issue is if you are going to fire a...

Let us know how you like it once you get it, and put it on the road. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

I agree. Alot of operational issues are addressed pretty quickly by mid management. The items that take considerable time are changes that may affect the language in the company leases. Bartering on loads wouldn't fall into any long term proceedure. The carrier probably realized that their...

If it has a idle step up through the cruise, turn your cruise switch off. Short of that it sounds minor. May be some resistance in the ECM plug, but this is common on the FL series. I would go with the first if it goes out once the truck is moving. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator
