Sales leads are being referred across divisions. And yes, they are expecting sufficient growth to add 400 EXPEDITING trucks. The cheaper freight (non-exclusive-use) they are talking about that is to go on FedEx Freight Trucks is freight Custom Critical would not have had anyway, because the...

Based on several load boards, I would say it is steady. Since there is little industry, the trend is still alot of frieght in, with maginal amounts out. The bigger carriers can get you out but it is a competitive market on outbound frieght. Most of the people that enter Florida are either...

What we did is buy the Norton from the computer fix (geek squad) in best buy. They use a different program than the retail ones. Installed and working well on four different systems.. Maybe that will help someone. Also...it is a cheaper purchase price. $21.00 if I remember correctly? Davekc...

Strange as it sounds, Ross Perot had a clearer vision than alot of politicians today. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

30 years or 30 days, everyone should know better. Yet, on any morning, look in any truck stop with 100 or more trucks that spent the night. You'll be lucky to see 5 drivers open their hoods to check oil, let alone doing a PTI of any sort. ==================================== Strange but true...

With the price of fuel, HOS, and operating costs, the days of a 100 mile run are pretty much over if there is any deadhead at all. If it doesn't pay $2.00 per mile there is little reason to do it. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Thats a pretty good week. We have noticed some pretty good weeks as of late too. Keep the faith! Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Michigan is a good example. Many areas only have a car or two patroling the whole county. Much different than say the Buckeye. In Michigan, state police must also handle domestic calls, scales, and other responsibilities. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

RE: fleet owners i need a driver agreement form pl Ditto on Gregg. You would serve yourself well to obtain your own council. That way the documents can have the language in them specific to your business. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Yes, we do run both. My opinion changed somewhat because the rate structure was different compared to past offerings. Current numbers found it out performed in gross numbers campared to where the truck was originally leased. I buy this equipment used. I don't know if it is a fair comparison in...

Very few jurisdictions will respond to this type of call unless something else is involved, or they are very close to the reported location. I am surprised that no one mentioned changing their clothes because they came in contact with the dope smoke? Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO...

In response to message #1 FCC has a new system that will email a text message to your cell phone when a load offer come in for you. The tricky part is if you are at a location in which you have no phone signal. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

At the show, they had it priced at somewhere in the $130's Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

I think both sides have valid arguments, but in the grand scheme of life, this isn't even on the radar screen as there are other issues that are much more important to me and my family. Yes one can complain that walking through a truck stop will make their clothes smell like smoke. But then...

Reminds me of a team we had five or so years ago that used a battery operated baby monitor. He sat it next to his QC and he could here it go off if he went in a restaurant. Not quite sure on the distance but they said it went pretty far. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Your question depends on several things. Who is the carrier and at what rate are you running, and what are you paying for the reefer. Searching the archives will give you some idea to how they are viewed by other members. Some carriers may need this requirement to keep you running consistently...
