To my knowledge, EO is not distributing email addresses of its members to any other sources. With regards to Panther, it likely was a negative experience if you were attempting to buy a truck from them, since they are not a dealer or in the business of selling trucks. It is news to me that...

What else can be said? Glen and his wife have been true pioneers in our industry, as well as an inspiration for custom truck dreaming. Grace and I wish you the best of luck and a speedy recovery as well. Davekc

Not a tax expert, but I believe the owner is not required to issue a 1099 until Jan 31st. Someone can correct me if I am wrong. It is still pretty cold that your owner suddenly disappeared. If the company already paid him, it sounds like you need to go to court. Of course from FL, that is not...

RE: Revenue Potential of Tractor vs. Straight Truc You are correct in that you would pay a sales tax. In addition, you likely will have a state charge because the vehicle is being reclassified. My understanding is with waiting a year, you aren't paying the FET tax. I don't believe you can...

As mentioned, they are seperate systems from the OEM heat system. I believe both have a chart that shows the BTU, output, and what temps it will hold verses a ambient (outside) temperature. If I remember correctly, they indicated these numbers against different square feet of space you are...

Have you looked a Midwest Specialty Sleepers. Bob Caldwell sells these and Bentz. Number is on EO home page. Alot of local van conversion places might be of help as some are reasonably priced. Should be something local in your area. Alot of times these conversion places do conversions for...

THawk It appears that he is venting rather than looking for answers or a solution. Sometimes that can happen. We can only offer what help we can. Davekc

We use jewelers rouge. Must be put on by hand. Also to stall contamination and prolong the results, we cut several ounces of Rainex with it. Mix in a quart container filling the remainder with distilled water. Apply with a brush if doing diamond plate and buff dry. Excellent long lasting...

RE: Revenue Potential of Tractor vs. Straight Truc Alot of excellent posts. Many trucks are built without the tag or pusher and added later to avoid FET tax. A one year waiting period is what is needed. You have to weigh up the difference as to whether you will generate enough income to offset...

I believe it is an expected evil if you are running a van. The amount of trucks your company has in Detroit may be an issue as well. You should mention your company as there may be another driver that can assist you. Many times the grass isn't always greener. To answer your...

This is my first chance on today but it appears the issue has been corrected. Davekc

It sounds like it is idling at too low of RPM. It probably needs to be a little higher. This was a common problem on some M2's. You can buy a device to raise and lower your idle manually, or you will have to have the dealer adjust your computer. Davekc

Find a need for vans and 22 foot straight trucks, and you may recieve a few calls. Davekc

At this years Expo, I checked out Broompilots system and am going to test it on a truck and see how it performs. I thought it was a neat trouble free tool. With high fuel costs, drivers need to watch tire pressure as frequently as possible. One week of low tire pressure on a few tires can cost...

You said he should pay for dead head back home ( we plan to stay out 3-4 weeks then home for 5-6 days. we also would want an automatic and probably an 84inch sleeper, also if we decide to pay the fuel we would want a generator because at a eo workshop they said when idling you burn 1 gal. of...

Big Diesel wrote Your absolutely right all these bad poat on here about Panther are unfounded we should not believe what these guys are saying and that also means we should not believe anything you are saying about how good they are. I have yet to hear one person driving for Panter II rebutt the...

oldprof wrote I'm a Newbie contracted to Panther II. So far I am satisfied with them. I wish you guys would let me know perzactly how PII is going to screw me so I can watch out!! Thanks. Hundreds are waiting on that exact answer. Funny how I think it is not likely to materialize. But if it...

Big Diesel wrote Id get a lawyer and sue them for breech of contract, verbal and other wise. I need to stress this again that you are contracted by a carrier and not an employee! What else can be said? You are entitled to your opinion even if it is totally without merit. With regards to the...
