What makes me laugh are the guys that quit out on the road and leave a truck or deadhead it home 1000 miles and expect to get full pay. I think those are the guys that complain about not getting paid the most. You really can't speak for another owner because you don't know what happened.

How much is the lack of auto sales effecting the business? 45% lower sales over last year in the auto industry. I am lost for words when my drivers call and ask about whats going on. I am getting a bit worried about getting decent loads in these poor economic times. It's bad enough that the...

My team got a load out of El Paso TX to Detriot MI 1980 miles. Pick up on Sat Deliver first thing Monday. You can't beat that weekend.

Hi Dave I actually did a truck upgrade because I had a truck that had too many problems. Panther is charging me all these fees and I think they are on fair. I have let them know in a few different departments. Has this ever happened to you and what did you think about the fairness of these...

I removed it because it is better dealt with internally and I had second thoughts.

Board Moderator please remove I have resolved my beef. Thanks, Eric Moss

The 387 gets the best fuel economy because it's a aero truck. Plus it has lots of head room above the drivers seat.

Nice truck but the sleeper sucks. Way to small. 387 makes the best model for expediting. I lost one because I could not get it financed until it was too late. If you ever need a truck financed call Mike Regal at Access capital first and last payment gets you in the truck with decent credit...

What really tests you is the West Coast. Try being stuck in Washington State or Utah. It's a 100 times worse then Laredo.

My advice is not to buy it. I bought one with 380K miles on it back in Febuary and on my first load it broke down and I had to put 3K worth of work in to replace the o-rings heiun pump, injectors and seals. Well I was about to trade it in tomarrow and the truck is sitting in a truck stop...

The fact that your slow has nothing to do with being a team. They are moving less freight this year thats all. Loads were down in July according to ATA. Now cargo vans are hit harder because they can't fit 90% of the stuff in expedite. I think your real problem is that your in a cargo van...

It would be nice if the team got a run out of Los Angeles delivering on Tuesday. They are delivering something to Warner Bros. Studios in Holywood for some movie.

I have a couple drivers that are not going to make it home this weekend. Who else is staying out? Panther just sent out a fleet message for some trucks to stay available. Does anything really move during a holiday weekend?

Fall are you in a cargo van or something because my two solo's have been getting a mini and a two hundred mile run daily in that area.

Yeah well now they got a load offer in the middle of New Mexico going to Holywood, CA to a movie set that needs props for the weekend shoot. Not sure what the movie is but it's a Warner Bros. Flick. The problem is that can't give us the deminsions for two hours and it might not fit. We have been...

LOL... yet they never have any trucks in Ohio in Michigan. They have to call on our days off. They just delivered there load and they are on there way back to Buckholz TX.. They got a $230 dollar empty move offer.

Yeah well they just took a 650 mile load to the Texas/New Mexico boarder. Horrible area but they we going to lose the first out if they did not take it. Texas is flooded with trucks right now and it's a grid lock. This will be there first load of the week delivering on Thursday AM. Now I have...

Bloomberg.com: Worldwide Looks like a Hurricane is going to hit the Gulf of Mexico refineries. The price will go up while they panic and after the strom is over we will see how much production will be effected.

Maybe it's the upcomming holiday weekend and people are taking off?

I had a team that got around 4000 miles last week and this week they will be lucky to get 1500. It's Wednesday and they have been first out since Monday on the Houston board. They delivered to Laredo TX and asked for $250 to move to Houston board over the weekend. I should have moved them to...
