RE: RE%3A early impression on conway FSC%3F Ok you are correct. I responded ahead of reading the article. I had one here but had not had a chance to go through it. Thanks Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

That is why it makes sense to find a carrier that lets you obtain your own frieght with you setting the rates. Why be just at the mercy of what the carrier offers you? That sitting a week waiting on a load would happen only once. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

It sounds like two different issues. The waterpump issue is seperate from the transmission unless it is over heating or there is blockage in the transmission coolant line. If so, that would only affect the shifting, not the speedometer. I am refering to the shift selenoid. Ford had numerous...

Both carriers are well represented in the forums in addition to a wealth of information in the archives. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Sounds great for stockholders. My Conway and Fedex stock will do great this year. From reading that, you are getting only a portion of the fuel surcharge rather than the original 100 percent. At least they are honest and telling you up front assuming that article is accurate. Then it is your...

I think you answered your own question. Van business is seasonal for the most part with only the most diciplined being successful. There is less van frieght and frieght tonnage is increasing.That is why for example at Matts there was only one carrier I believe that had a recruiting van on...

RE: Transporting a truck im buying from another st All you would need is a transit tag. It wouldn't require it to be titled in FL. Additionally, Fl is a tax exempt state on commercial equipment with a lease copy and DOT number. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

RE: Transporting a truck im buying from another st Information above is correct. We have sold numerous trucks in both TN and FL. You will need a 30 day commercial transit tag. A bill of sale, personal ID, and copy of title. Keep in mind that you can't haul frieght with that tag, but you can...

That is their policy if you fail to qualify to enter Canada. Not if you are qualified and refuse a Canadian run. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Your contact with regards to Panther is correct. We have been very busy. As they implement your LTL program you should see load volumes pick up. The only question would be at what rate are you running them (LTL frieght)? And, how often? RichM probably said it best, "they may have put the cart...

Imagine had the owner refused to fix the light.....the owner would have been fired. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

I would be surprised that they would volunteer that type of information. That could be viewed in a very negative light whether a customer or a contractor. If drivers are making less under this plan as stated, and company profits are up, I would really feel a need for a explanation. Even more so...

Depends on what you are driving. If a tractor, I would stay there. If a straight or a van, I would say Ft. Worth. The other two considerations are Wichita Falls (mostly hazmat runs) or possibly Waco. If you know how to broker your own loads, there are usually some right out of Lubbuck and...

I would call Bobtail Express in Houston and see if they have ever heard of them. 800-914-9134 Bobby is the guy that would be the most knowledgable of companies operating dry expedited in Houston. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

I would say the ones with the most frieght,flexibility to find your own loads, and highest pay. Availibility of newer trailers would also be a big consideration. I would look at Landstar or Panther when considering the above. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

They are likely available from several sources but they had quite a few at the Iowa truck plaza (I80) last year. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

My understanding is the same as Hawks. It is the fuel surcharge component that you would be questioning, rather than the milage rate. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

100 posts..........what a milestone! Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

The other option is to request a copy of the freight charges that the customer paid. By law, that must be provided to you upon request. That would likely answer most of your questions. A request of several should tell you where you stand. Additional help can be provided by calling OOIDA. I...

After all this time (years), you would have thought they would have given you seats of your choice? Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator
