    I would have to agree with Dave, but I think Panther is bigger than Landstar as far as expediting.

    Why do people get into this Business and take off 25% of the year?

    I'm glad folks can take time off. I always read posts where people are asking, "which company can I make the most money at". You can make good money at FedEx, Panther, Tri-State and so on. In this business I have tried many different way to take my time off. I ran the 3 weeks out one week off...

    Making your own Bio Diesel

    I was telling a friend of mine about this guy on the show "Dirty Job" making his own bio diesel. So he checked it out and is making bio diesel at home for his dump trucks and has cut his fuel cost to .60 a gallon. He did tell me that if you pull up behind him in a car you smell french fries. He...

    Dave I'm giving you the new name of "Father Expediter" It fits you. I could give some cool names to others too. Like Business Plan Phil, because Phil is pretty good at doing business plans. Terrific Terry, because he is one nice man and so on.

    one week is all you got

    I would have to agree with Leo on this one. Not to many T/T on with TST Expedite. Talk to Bob he is a great man. Had a truck on there at one time. My Father did good with them running solo. But that was back in 2001.

    Why do people get into this Business and take off 25% of the year?

    I guess I should have put it a different way. Why do two different family drivers get into this business and take off more than 25% of the year. Then complain about their not making money. Husband and Wife teams I can understand, all the money goes to one household. Drivers that get into this...

    Why do people get into this Business and take off 25% of the year?

    I have been thinking about this for a few years now but never asked this. Why do people get into the business of expediteing in hopes of making better money than their old job, but take off 25% or more of the year? Think about it, most teams run three weeks out and one week off each...
