Nice pictures:) I bet it is neat to see a aircraft boneyard.

A few year back I was headed home to Akron, Ohio from Columbus, Oh on I71 when I see this truck on fire. It was a Swift truck going south. Traffic was going slow on the north bound side because the truck was burning really bad. Just as we got up to where the truck was the tires on the truck blew...

Dave Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. I was sharing what it had been like with Panther so far and you started on me, go back and look at the posts. Saying to me give it up so we can all be Jealous. If that wasn't a unwarranted post then what do you call a nice way to talk to...

I couldn't have said any better but your right 100%:)

dabluzman1 I would have to agree with Turtle. I have seen many people that had very well paying jobs outside of this business try the expedite business only to fail. They go out buy a new truck and run 3 weeks out and take one week off each month which can set them up to fail. Even when I was...

Very good post Linda and Bob. I was sad to see it go too. Michele aways did a great job with the Skills Challenge. They need to put her as the head of the safety department to get it back to where it once was.

Cindy and Brain I'm very sorry for your lost of a love one. You will be in our thougts and prayers for a safe return to home during a sad time in your life.

Yea Cheri I'm with you on the orange barrel stock.

This is too true to be funny. The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money. A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting...

What group am I in lol. lets see the bad speller group. lol

Well, You know more about vans than I do. And yes you are a Pro in my eyes :) Take credit where credit is due. Your a great person and I'm glad your part of EO land.

I will say this Cheri1122 and TerryandRene are the pro's when it comes to vans.

I'm sorry I wouldn't wait for your team lead to call you back after 24 hrs. My next step would be to their boss. The change of command works great. Even the president has a boss, his boss is his WIFE. lol If your in a van running as a husband and wife team like Terry and Rene did for years at...

I can't speak about Panther as of yet Leo, but I can speak about FedEx Custom Critical. I have sat with the agents many times at FedEx and the agents can't do that at FedEx without a good reason. If they want to skip a truck to to give it to another unit. At FedEx a screen will pop up saying you...

I'm sorry to say that I was told the Skills Challenge at FedEx Custom Critical was cut from the budget next year to do other things for the FedEx Drivers. So this past years one was the last one unless they bring it back. It was at FedEx Custom Critical for 10 years and Michelle T. did a great...

What size Truck do You have? Do you run team or single? Are you a refer unit? Do You have a liftgate? Do you have Hazmat on your CDL. So many things that can stop you from getting a load over others. Since coming to Panther I have found out that not everyone wants haul Hazmat. If I can haul a...

In 2010 I will have been in this business for 15 years, but not as long as DaveKc, Steve Gilbert, Limda and Dave , Terry and Rene, Harold, Leader and many other great people. It got me thinking of how much this business has changed in almost 15 years. Roberts Express which was the biggest...

You have a great job now. I love planes, I always liked taking the loads to the airport.

Sorry Steve, I hope you get back out on the road soon. But $1000 out of your pocket hurts. That happened to me back in 2005 when my son got sick. The truck had $14000.00 in damage.

If you like the truck and the truck is a good deal just have one put on. An APU will pay for itself in todays market in about 18 months. If it can save you $500.00 a month in 18 months thats' $9000.00. Do what Leo said and look up posts about APU.
