Leo, are you talking about a liftgate that folds up behind the truck, effectively blocking your doors? I think if you had problems with them freezing, you'd choose differently. And think about if you had a load on board at the time. And what about docking? Will you have to lower it once inside a...

Good way to put it, Colonel! Your truck is still the best I've driven yet.

That doesn't surprise me, KW. Between yesterday and today, almost everything is coming out of the tri-state area... especially Mich. With so many loads there, you can almost name your price. Atlanta, on the other hand, is dead! Along with the rest of the south! Of course, I'm in Atlanta, and it...

Who is Scott? When picking favorites happened at my expense, I was told policy is first in, first out. My acceptance rating at the time was 91%. They said they would correct it. Guess not. :-(

Like I said in the post about getting out of MI. Good weeks and bad weeks even out to be good or bad months. If you take everything in stride, and not get worked up over having a good week or not, you'll find out at the end of the month if it's been good or not. You could have 3 so-so weeks, and...

RE: monster miles this week with panther driving a Wow! Those are good numbers, even for a straight truck! I guess this is the feast in "feast and famine" :D

If you go by good week/bad week, you'll drive yourself crazy! Best to go by month, because the weeks will offset each other, usually. I recently had a $3700 week followed by a nada week (for various reasons). Overall, my 3 weeks out ended up being good.

I hear that! For Detroit being such a busy place, I had a helluva time getting out this week. Can't watch the board constantly, and missed a couple loads that way. Then there are tons of MI to OH or MI to IN runs, but I wanted a good long one to start out. Missed a load going to NV Friday...

Thanx for the info, Frank. However, it doesn't seem like dismal news, other than the government wasting our money again. We've pumped bux into the IRS, and they're doing less with it. More of a reason IMO to get rid of them.

Your best bet is to find a company that finds loads for your truck, rather than finding trucks for their loads. IMO, a company where the dispatch will actively look for something that will take you close to home when you need to go. As far as getting out of FL, most O/Os and drivers I talk to...

Browns have nothing on their helmets, and the Steelers' logo is on one side. Geez... is that all ya got? ;)

I have to agree. I've been told by numerous o/os that the decal is what made them ultimately choose Panther in a close decision. And change the name? What are they thinking? Only reason to change a name would be to change a company with a bad reputation. If they change the logo, I hope it would...

Even hotshot has a dual meaning. I've heard it used (and use it) for the expediting companies that get their business from the overflow of other expedite companies.

I just talked to someone who's signing his trucks on with TKR. He told me they pay $1.10 all dispatched miles (including dh to get back to the zone). What shocked me was that he said they often try to put two loads or more going down south. I'd love it, except for the fact that you get paid...

Very simply, expedite freight is whatever the customer is willing to pay an expedite rate to put on an expedite truck. I've heard so many weird things going expedite, it's hard to catagorize. What does a donated organ have to do with new x-boxes or tires or nuclear plant parts or a ball gown...
