For whatever it is worth. You use to be able to change it with a certification from the dealer wear purchased and a inspection from DOT in your state. This was outlawed as of last year. Alot of tri-axle dumps were doing this in Florida. Buy a single axle dump and add additional axles later. PN...

From previous posts I thought you were making a ton of money. Apparently not. Pays to save and have no truck payments. One thing is for sure, I don't think I would drive for whatever company you drive for.

I should have clarified myself on short loads. It is not that we refuse every short load. It has to pick up where I am located and generally move me into another freight area. In otherwords, I don't deadhead 100 miles to pick up a 100 mile load. I also don't pick up 100 mile loads that take all...

11 to 15 miles per gallon???? Should be able to get to 20 miles per gallon when you add water.

If they cut your rate by .15 cents, It would depend from what rate they cut it. If you are anything under a $1.00 per mile you had better search for another company. Sounds like they want to maintain the same profits while cutting yours to remain competitive. Sounds like a wonderful bunch...

I am not sure what the problem is? They took the refusal off and you are saying they are not following a policy. It is not their policy to call you. I drive for Panther and I still don't understand what you are worried about one refusal for. That is not going to make or break anything. We are...

As far as Panther there relocation system is only good in certain instances. Depending on the region of the country you are in it can be useful to call dispatch supervisor for relocation areas. Seems to work for us pretty well. Make sure you call the right region. For example; if you are in FL...

Good idea to drive together first to make sure you can live with each other 24/7. We are a team and it works great for us. If you are getting married the pay split shouldn't be an issue. If it is, one of you would have to be paid as a employee. There are some other posts on here relating to...

RE: WiFi or Sprint Iwas wondering on the sprint phones if the 3G phones are really that much faster than the 2G ones. Ours is a 2G and is pretty slow.

moving or staying depends on what company you are with and how many of their own trucks are there.

From what I read so far, I agree, KW is the way to go. I have a 300 with a cat and have had good luck with it. It is rebuildable but not as a in frame. Also resale on a KW is alot higher than a sterling. ANd don't forget, Sterling is a Frieghtliner and their service is nothing to get excited...

before I forget, we are cooling and heating a 123" sleeper with this unit.

I had one of these units several years ago and was not impressed. They may be ok in a small sleeper...72" or less. I had a 72" with one and it couldn't keep up in any extreme temps. We have a genset from Jacksonville Fl. with a roof air. What a difference. That unit will shoot ice cubes even in...

they were an excellent company when they were Roberts, but now they are just a joke. Why would you work for someone who is hiding information from you. Think about what they are hiding from you that you know about. Then think about the things that you don't but may find later. Like I said...

Sounds like a inexperienced dispatcher. Call contractor relations. They can review QC messages and that should take care of it.

We are with Panther and you don't always need a pager. If you have a cell phone it must have pager capabilities. In otherwords, it must accept text messages. Hope this helps.

For whatever it is worth....according to Tri-state they have severed their relationship with GM. I was told that they wanted their frieght hauled too cheaply. Tri-state was only giving drivers a $1.00 a mile. My personal opinion is that Tri-state might have had some coverage issues as their...

I agree with RichM. Everyone needs to back off the name calling & nasty posts. Everyone should realize we can all learn alittle something from everyone. Just remember everyone is a little different in their views and thoughts.

new owners need to review these posts and realize only a few are surviving long term at this business. Alot of luck, hard work, minimal bills, and most importantly, small truck payments or none at all will go along way to insure success.
