What is the rate for straights and did the vans see a increase in rates as well? If you are using 13 MPG on vans, what is it on ST's? Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Demand for tractors is certainly high with all carriers. With regards to expediting, qualifications,operating costs, and convenience of other vehicles make them a tough bill to fill. Additionally, straights and vans have a somewhat limited selections of companies in which to choose. Tractor...

Mike, So there isn't mass confusion, how are they calculating this new FSC? Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

RE: well guys thanxs for understand Everyone is in this together. Some just need to step up to the plate. You know who you are. Passing someone who is asking for help on the side of the road in a commercial truck is not likely a convict. Stop and offer assistance. Stopping for a short period of...

I can tell you after 21 years that if there is a instance were maybe you should log, certainly do it. Sadly, if you are driving a commercial vehicle, you are guilty of any infraction because you are there at that location. Look at all the legal and lawyer ads wanting to recruit accident...

As you walk quickly toward the car driver and witnesses, what thoughts would be racing through your mind? What would you do next Secure the area to ensure another accident does't happen and attend to the victim that is in the car. I am with the others, the truck driver is at fault in this...

Nothing is better than when they (customer) are happy to see you. If it was a tough trip, it makes it all worth while. You can't beat saving someones job. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

While I don't drive for Conway, it would be prudent to provide all of the information pertaining to this issue prior to rushing to judgement. This happens with many companies and snowballs because ALL of the information is not provided. Based on posts so far, it only indicates from the author...

Jaminjim. You are right. Some read more into that thread than was necessary. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

If the lower framing is intact, then you shouldn't have to shorten it. The box frame and sheet metal is all that it should take. They will seam the top after that and replace the doors. I would stay at the 24 feet if you can. Is there any floor damage in the box? If so, that will have to be...

Leo's post is right on target with really evaluating whether this will be a good fit when weighing your current situation. At the same time other posts will reflect that anyone with no experience can make loads of money through the use of a 5000 word flowery essay. Consider all of your options...

Too much fluff can turn into something misleading. But on the positive side, the thread had alot of useful information. Some back and forth banter can be a good thing. I think most were identifying fluff more so than trying to change someones beliefs. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

It could be both, a relationship between you and the owner and the owner and the company. If he fails to pay his drivers for example, the company and former drivers are likely aware of it. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Certainly as far as expediting they have more in common with each other than not. My only personal issue is the ones that park on the fuel island and then go in and eat or shower while a line is building behind them. That tends to be TT and RV's where we have experienced that. Not vans. Davekc...

It is good that you came out ok. Hopefully you can get your ride fixed in a timely fashion. Does make you wonder how well built those Volvos are? It seems like it was no match for your Pete. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

I am not too techno but mine go through. Not sure where the difference is? If you are using Outlook maybe that has something to do with it? Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

If it is not a warranty item, Bayshore Truck repair is excellent. Alittle farther south in Ft. Meyers. We have service done there just about every other month. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

We have a team based in Dallas and I would recommend them as well. Both for liftgate and carrier reefer work. If you have a thermo-king, Steward and Stevens in Dallas is excellent as well. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Yes, you are on duty driving there and back, and on duty not driving while you are doing the wash. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

I think most already had a good laugh on it. Your probably alittle late explaining this thread from Nov. since you still don't have all the information to draw your comparison. I will admit, it was pretty funny. At any given point or time period in the year that your truck makes the same income...
