    Companies Catering To Large Fleets!

    I would say if this was the case our trucks would be loaded all the time. We have ten trucks and they sit just as much as everyone else's does. If you really think that carriers catering to fleet owners then I guess we don't have a big enough fleet yet. Dang I knew we needed to buy more trucks...

    Panther Owners

    Hey Bud, Yea Donny does a good job. He won't put his name on an inspection unless it's done right. He knows his stuff I must say. He fixed another Panther owner truck that they was told by Freightliner it would cost them about $4000.00 to $5000.00. Donny fixed the problem for $385.00 parts and...

    done with FedEx Custom Critical

    If your Fed Up with FedEx then come over to Panther like we did. We left with two D-units and two C-units. We now have ten trucks leased on with Panther. We are very happy with Panther with no plans to change. The people are more laid back and always treat us right. Last year was out best year...

    Tell that to FedEx Ground then Greg. I'm sure they would love to have all those cases over turned by the IRS and the courts.

    Equiptment use fees

    Phil I agree with what your saying, your taking it the wrong way. I didn't feel the need the post that I went to three lawyers but we did. We also called other fleet owners that have been in the business longer than we have been to see how they do things as far as equiptment. I won't post...

    Equiptment use fees

    Phil I know you and Diane practiced law, you even worked on helping getting one of my favorite people put in the Governor office in MN. Jessie Ventura really could have ran for President and won if you ask me. All I Was trying to say is that the IRS is trying to find more ways to get at...

    Equiptment use fees

    I know your not OVM. :) I'm justing try to bring things up to other fleet owners and drivers to keep them legal. Not to charge the Driver fee's. You can charge them a fee of a $1.00 as long as you charge them something. I could careless, all I was trying to do was help other owners and drivers...

    Equiptment use fees

    Turtle Your missing the whole point. You think it is all about another way for owners to make money off of drivers which it don't have a darn thing to do with. It's about being legal in the eyes of the IRS. You have two fleet owners telling you the same thing from two different Lawyers that...

    Equiptment use fees

    Your right Phil, it never hurts to spend a few dollars to save a bunch. As the old saying goes, "sometimes cheap isn't always better". Not saying this about the lawyer in any means. It's kinda like the truck you drive. It's one of the best trucks built and you paid a good price for it, but it...

    Equiptment use fees

    I also see what your saying. You do have to offer the contractor a choice. It not about raping people either. Lets take people that pay for fuel that lease trucks from owners that have APU units on them. To have the APU units put on can cost $8000.00 to $10,000 dollars to save money on fuel. So...

    Equiptment use fees

    Our lease is set up where they do pay us for the use of the truck. It is worded where they pay us 60% of what Panther charges the customer and 100% of the FSC. They get 100%of unloading fees, pallet jack charges (which is $50.00) it's only fair. The drivers are doing the work and the truck...

    Equiptment use fees

    The Lawyer that did our LLC went over our lease and asked us many different things. If you provide anything to the contractor to do the job other than the truck they are leasing the IRS says they are employees. This is mainly goes for owner that does the 40/60 where the owner pays the cost of...

    Equiptment use fees

    Turtle I like to see you tell that to IRS. This was one of the 1st things we was warned about when we change to a LLC. Nobody said you had to charge 100.00 a week. You just have to list it as equiptment use and some kind of charge. Just like the IRS is getting people for writing off 100% of...
