It is these kind of owners that give a black eye to the decent ones. Cloaking their honesty in religion is another irritant. This is where the value of experience and reputation come in. It doesn't mean people don't part for whatever reasons, but it should be on amicable terms. If it went to...

It is possible to move it to another FL70, but it would be difficult and expensive to move it to a M2 or something different. The cutouts are different and would require too much fabrication to make it fit. Probably the reason AB won't touch it. In the future it would be easier to buy a...

Hidry is the right stuff. I couldn't think of it last night. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Most of your question depends on what state and what county or jursidiction you are in. If only 10 gallons, alot of states will just flush it through the local fire dept. But, clearly not all. It as well can't go into any waterway. This link may be able to help you...

Probably true on the warranty. It isn't hard to rack up a $3,000 repair bill. The other option is to shop a used truck that still has some warranty left on it. The other item to consider is what does the truck really cost? You have to figure the total price plus the interest. With regards to a...

Panther has been pretty busy for us with a few slow spots in certain areas. If you are consistently slow I would guess you are in a van. Not alot of van freight out there right now. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

I'd do more research on that keeping in mind the old saying "you get what you pay for". ============================== You are so correct. But on the other hand, you can over pay and or over spec for a truck in its given application. I know I have been guilty of that on more than one occassion...

I am with Leo on that. Jon Mosier has the Sterlings which are real nice rides. If you are certain you are going new, then you would do yourself well to give him a call. We have bought from him in the past and have been quite satisfied. If trying to stay real economical and still want to go new...

What is the price of a Willis unit? They look interesting but I am less than thrilled with anything that ties into the OEM system. Anything goes wrong and a whole host of problems arise. Even more so if it is under warranty. The other issue is extremely few service locations. 11 locations and 3...

There are plenty of dealers, so I would shop around alittle. Because no one wants a 07 emissions truck, supply will be tight and any discounts limited. If you are on a real tight budget, maybe a used late model truck would be worthy of consideration? Just a thought Davekc owner 21 years...

Doc makes a excellent point. If it is the truckload division, that would be a totally different issue as it doesn't impact the expedite owner operators. I would agree, that some clarification is needed as to who exactly authored the memo. Certainly a different meaning depending on what division...

So far, the new version has been holding up well. We have the new(orange engine) on a 05 M2, and it seems to be holding up well. Only issue so far is a broken alternator bolt. We have had them in the past on numerous trucks and they held up well except the A/C. New version with the autostart is...

They state in their open memo to future investors that The FCS is an intragal part of "their" profit. I would hazzard to guess their meaning. =================================================== If that is the exact language, then one could take it for its value. If investors are saving...

They just started adding o/o's a few months ago. They kept all the o/o's from Menlo/Emery You are correct that they still broker loads. Simon, In case you missed it. http://www.ups-scs.com/transportation/expedite_surface.html Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Grace and I have met you guys on numerous occassions, and it has always been a great experience and good time. Pass along our thoughts and encouragement to Rene for a speedy recovery. We will meet up again soon. Dave & Grace Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Didn't UPS purchase Menlo earlier this year? Huge aquisition if so... Airfreight w/expedite forwarding and they do contract lease owner op's for P&D as well as expedite =========================================== You are correct. They do have many o/o's with their own trucks. They just don't say...

Rowe Truck out of Otterbein In installed the tag..I think it does need the push axle instead of the tag. They are talking about moveing the drive axle up and the tag too. But I dont see how this will help ===================================================== If you are running smaller loads, put...

I think everyone will agree that you have to find the right fit for your situation. If one is sitting for extended periods of time, then they should be looking as to why. As Terry said, determining your finance and lifestyle choices makes staying or moving with a carrier easier. In our case, we...

I know little about Diamond Delivery but your first sentence of; "I talked to a recruiter the other day and it was confusing how he was trying to tell me how the loads will pay depending on a lot of criteria" I would think one would want a strong clarification on that type of answer. I would...

Alot of their O/O trucks still have Emery on them. You are correct in that they do broker loads, and usually at pretty decent rates. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator
