I can't dispute your situation and it may have something to do with a territory manager? I can say (now almost two years) we had a turbo replaced that then failed and took out a 750k mile engine. Cat took an oil sample and deemed the failure was caused by bad bearings in the turbo. They replaced...

Think they are trying to hit it from both ends. They did raise the rate per mile (not sure on vans) and went to paying all DH miles. May be more to come.

Not sure I follow? As for Panther's, can't really comment as I just heard about it Friday without all the specifics.

Think he was talking recent performance, not what they did in the past. Can't say anything about them other than what is posted here. Never had any dealings with them.

If they are offering .42 cents a mile for van freight, they ARE creating the 'market force" for cheap freight. At those rates they shouldn't be charging a fee for anything.

If it is factual that they even offered a load at .42 a mile, I think that pretty much answers any other question one could think of to ask.

Lot of good advice. The largest driver of failures can usually be found with poor management skills or being under-capitalized. Much depends on your resources and abilities. The amount of trucks really matters little if you have the mentioned reserves behind them. What does matter is the type...

The Detroit 50's were a killer engine in the straights. Virtually indestructible if you kept the oil in them.

Sounds like private booths are coming to a library near you. Couples booths to follow. ;)

Many of the small carriers are struggling because they are reliant on the larger ones for their overflow. When that doesn't happen, slow pay, gameplaying and a host of other issues start up.

Cummins would get the nod if it is 07 or before. Anything after that because of the regen would be a huge question mark.

I wonder if you could start at the homepage that does have the ads and then switch. Everyone would still see the ads. Just a thought.

I would leave that option. Runs much faster and easy to use.

That would be the answer I see. Many of the small one truck operators bid loads extremely cheap. I am amazed at how cheap sometimes. Supply and demand. Many shippers will give the bargain loads to those operators in order to save some cash.

I believe that might put them out of business, but certainly a good suggestion. As to calling select carriers "game players", I believe Turtle articulated my position quite accurately. :)

Might want to consider a move to SC. Currently showing one solo and one team there as of 10:30AM

Very nice ride. Great price on it as well.

I was giving my opinion based on ANY carrier engaging in certain practices. I am responding to what others have posted. I don't have to be with the carrier to make that type of assessment.

I would agree. The excuse of delayed pay because a broker/shipper doesn't pay for 60/90 days is foolish. As a fleet owner, this would be the same as stalling the drivers pay 30 days or more because I have a truck repair. If I can't afford to fix my trucks, I shouldn't be in business. One has...
