Since coming over from FedEx Custom Critical in September of 2008 I have been to the home office many times. I live only 3 miles away and stop in when I can. I have always had a goodtime at the home office and felt very welcome there. Talk to Sean in driver relations if you was treated bad. Sean...

Phil I can't really say that have very deep pockets that I have seen myself. I can only go by what I have been told by Davekc and Leo over the years. I think DaveKc can get you what your looking for. Sorry I should have said from what I have been told Panther has Deep pockets. I have been...

Its based on the last 60 days I was told tonight. Most of the less than profitable loads don't even pay our rate and don't count anyway. Our rate is $1.65 in our refer unit plus fsc. The bottom line is if you don't want the load don't take it. If you don't like the way Panther does business you...

Saying things like that will get you banned from EO. No you just dont know me, I'm crazy. right Dreamer and Davekc. lol

That is not true. They are owned by Fenway Partners which has very deep pockets. No, the reason that the load advance went down to 45% is because the cost of fuel has went down. There is no need to load that much on to a drivers card. One of our drivers had over $3000.00 built up on his...

Because your a husband and wife team, not a two family team. That is not ture either Phil, FedEx and Panther has expedite loads that are booked months in advance. They always do things for the NFL that are expedited to the Pro Football Hame of Fame that are booked months in advance.. As Owners...

Welcome Wingnut, I'm sure you will be a great Moderator. Have fun and be safe on the road.

Cool Pictures, I wish I was doing your job. I love airplanes.

Over all I would have to say the TA and Petro are the best. They take Comdata and have a great fuel discount. Flying J was the place to go, but they quit taking Comdata around 1996. The rest are just fuel stops.

You can have KW set the truck up to get the best MPG if you call them. I have 2 trucks with the 3126 Cat and I love them. Mine are 6 speeds with a 373 rear end. at 2200 on the rpm the truck goes about 67 mph.

Thank you x06col. I had to step back this year and take a look at the things I was doing wrong. 1st, I was off of my meds for stress and my temper. Zoloft does great things for stress and for someone that has a temper. I don't get mad as easy and my stress is way down. 2nd, I had to look at what...

Steve, you look at it the same way I do. Better to have a settlement four times in a month than only have three. I know 16.66% more in service, no matter if i'm at home or on the road gives me ore of a chance each month to make more money. Just think about if all the trucks at Panther and FedEx...

Why not sign on with a company like Panther. that way you can do both.

Smart man, sometimes you have spend a little money to make money. I know I would dead head 400 miles on my own dime, that way i'm going to a place to get a load rather than to sit for 3 days burning fuel waiting on a load.

Those are just numbers not facts. I dont know how many times I sat in with the agents at FedEx Custom Critical and they was having to tell customers to call back tomorrow because they was low on power units. The agents would even call trucks out of service to get them to try to take loads. So...

Good point, but if your running 13 days out and home Sat, Sun and Mon. You will find that your in service base on a 30 day month will be 26 day or 86.66 %. Now if you run 3 weeks out and one week off that is 21 days in service or 70% per month based on a 30 month. Does it always work out that...

When I was at FedEx Custom Critcal I picked up the gear for the rock group Pfish. Well, I got there and opened the stage door to have a cloud of smoke smelling like pot hit me in the face. I think I got a contact buzz because I fell off the back of the truck. My cousin who was my co driver at...

I wasn't able to be at the owners meeting at Panther because I was out on the road. One of the things that I was told that came up is, the number of trucks that Panther has on. Being at FedEx Custom Critical for many years this same thing would always come up. Now FedEx did a great job of...

Phil That was one of the best post I have seen in a long time. Nice to see people together talking about the business, no matter what company you are with. Maybe you can share something like this once a week with the people of EO. Maybe a Friday get together at the Petro can be done every...
