    82 cents a mile fuel surcharge

    I would agree, but some use it as a secondary profit center.

    replacing apu

    Most run a seperate line for the block heater which really doesn't pull that much. That line likely has a bad ground. TK and the newer Carriers (basically the same thing) are starting to seem like a decent option. Onans are good but finding quick service seems to be a challenge at times and most...

    82 cents a mile fuel surcharge

    You likely are only getting a portion, not what is actually billed to the customer. Several carriers have stepped away from saying "we pay 100 percent of the FSC". Why? Because they don't.

    New sign on with Panther in a CV 70 cents a mile

    Might want to be careful with ASSUMING. Case in point. Last year we had a load from a printing place that was two pallets of porn going to a adult book store. Paid pretty good too. As for vans on every corner, sure there is. Most carriers make money off them whether they are moving or not.

    did they close too many plants?

    Either way it is good for the expediting world whether you haul auto freight or not. Less competition on any load is a good thing.

    We are Under attack by Law Firms looking for Deep Pockets

    And this is why carriers such as Panther limit vans on their drive time.

    Anyone else having trouble navigating EO?

    This morning running slow at times. Jumps to a search page that is looking for a Facebook plug in that doesn't exist. Mentioned this before. Yesterday it took 20 minutes to load one page. No problems with any other site. This is running Internet Exploder XP. App on the Iphone seems ok.

    Why is panther recruiting

    Hard to tell with this one. Doesn't say what he is driving. If for example he was in Atlanta with a straight on Friday and DH'ed to Nashville, that was a mistake. We unloaded late Friday and got a load to El Paso for the weekend. Only one solo there that was out of hours.

    Experience, shmecksperience

    You have more patience than I do. I won't pair anyone in a truck except a "same household" team. Too many personal agenda items and having to be a relationship counselor.

    Have to find that balance to get a decent driver. Which of course helps, if you have a little experience and know what to look for.

    Experience, shmecksperience

    Oh...it does but some could never be convinced of that. Pretty much why we don't hire the "the inexperienced".

    Experience isn't necessary until you need it.

    Carrier apu

    They will self prime if you hold the start button down. If it fails to start, the first place I would look is to see if the in-line fuel filter has been changed. Speedco and those kind of places only change the primary one.

    Leased on with multiple carriers

    There is a whole other world out there beyond "waiting for the beep". Knowledge & technology can be a wonderful thing.
