Good Idea. Davekc owner 20 years

We have liked the Delorme mapping system with GPS as well. Very economical but lacks some specifics for big trucks. It doesn't show specific truck routing, low bridges, and scales. Davekc owner 20 years

I agree with the above. Why would you pay for the insurance on someone elses vehicle? I wouldn't pay the QC charge either if that is mentioned. Only your personal insurance should be considered. It would appear that he/she is a rip off artist if they insist on these terms. In addition, make...

Maybe you could share with him where you are at now. It may or may not do him some good. They have made some changes but I haven't seen anything recent as to how they are to drive for. It would be my hope that they have improved over what was there several years ago. Davekc owner 20 years

We are just about out of the slower first quarter so things everywhere should slowly start to increase. Davekc owner 20 years

They have flat ones that are used on trailers that could be used. If the bolts can't be used, torch off the old. Then drill new holes for the new and you should be set to go. Davekc owner 20 years

Go the extra mile and add a lift gate,tag axle,reefer and some large fuel tanks and you will have a high hp "B" unit. Wouldn't be too profitable but might be fun to drive. Davekc owner 20 years

Glen is correct that they are a class 7. They are however built with the same components (dash, electronics, interior, cab, excluding hood) that the class 8's have. To a lesser degree is the Sterling class 7. That is why at times they are put with the class 8's. In addition, because of the gvw...

Once the sticker is removed, you can use goof off to remove the remaining glue residue. If you have a heat gun, these will work well too. Davekc owner 20 years

I clearly think you would do better to drive for someone prior to a huge financial commitment. There are alot of places you could get into trouble with huge truck payments and limited capital. In addition, I would do a search on All-Types Expediting. When reviewing past threads, I failed to find...

If you are out there trucking now, ask some of the expediters you see in truckstops ect. Most would be willing to give you some idea as to how they are doing. I think it will be difficult to find a carrier that only does runs in the southeast. Most will run anything east of the Mississippi...

Most carriers run in the southeast. I would call some of the recruiters of your choice and see which company best suits you. Davekc owner 20 years

I am sure your post is appreciated. Let us all meet at the MATS show, shake hands, and have a good time. Davekc owner 20 years

If just looking at finances, team operations will do best at most companies. Taking two weeks off, shouldn't be a problem either. Davekc owner 20 years

have great respect for most of the veterans here. But how anybody could think that any large corporate policy would change instantly over something some anonymous person wrote on an internet website is incomprehensible to anyone with the least amount of intelligence Hi It is mentioned in a...

I would talk to their contractor relations dept. Your experience is not one we have had with our years at Panther. Not every dispatcher is having a good day or is new and inexperienced. You as the driver must identify that and return the call and talk to another dispatcher. As far as pay...

Tough question to answer. I think it would depend on your own personal and family needs. You have numerous considerations to make prior to any decision. If it were me, I would try the job because it may not always be there. Expediting in some form or fashion will be. Additionally, it is a slow...

If you can, plan on attending the MATS show in Louisville, Ky. Last year they had some fantastic deals on numerous boxes offered by several manufacturers. Davekc

Hi Jack LDB and Trucker Matt. You guys are on the right track. This policy change was not something done over an internet post. I talked with contractor relations and they say the negotiating had gotten out of hand recently. Some drivers are never satisfied and try to get more money for every...
