That average is available at Panther but it is primarily for fleet owners or someone who has had a lease for awhile. Loads can average well above that, but like most other places, it would require something outside of the basic parameters you mentioned.

Panther guarantees payment on any load I book. They do have a blacklist of folks who you can't use because they don't pay. As far as opportunities, those are extended to everyone that is leased there.

True to some degree. We pay 15 percent for the services you mentioned.

The new rewards program can be found here. Panther

As mentioned, negotiating is the key. I can see that as a tougher gig with a van. Tractors and straights have alot more room on this regardless of the load. If I don't like the load, can always grab my own. Probably helps with the percentages thing as well. We don't turn down our own loads.:D

Sometimes it can be the simplest of things.

There is higher freight available whether through a carrier or whether as a independent carrier.

If he is brokering directly with a Alliance member, he isn't giving them 25 percent.

It would show up in a diagnostic tests, but wouldn't throw a code because it is directly a electrical issue. Same if a injector goes bad. Truck will run rough but show no codes.

This was in reference to the Caffee's post. The Phil madness came after.

Quite frankly I'm not sure. We don't pay any attention to it so it is hard to say. I couldn't tell you now what percentages we actually show. On time and safety are the only ones I look at.

Could be a couple of those issues but I would also check the exhaust brake if it has one. That little engine likely doesn't have a actual "engine brake". It is a PAC brake. Sometimes the fuse can blow, bad solenoid (easy test) or the butterfly in the exhaust is rusted and isn't fully open...

Might be a issue with vans, but we don't even pay attention to that. BTW, NJ is an excellent board. WIth how they dispatch, truck size,rate, qualifications, team or single, and who is closest to the freight gets the load. Board position has no value.

Been gone for the holidays and after reading a few of these threads that happened over the weekend, I can tell who isn't happy. Good grief.

Let me make a few clarifications. The 1.40 was in reference to a straight truck load, not a 12 footer. My concern wasn't whether someone would run it under certain conditions, but that it was classified as a "good load". Would we run it? Maybe. Again, under certain conditions. But I would NOT...

OOIDA use to have a list of transportation attorneys. Might give that a shot.

He may wind up being a better pick for republicans as he has a fairly decent record that is current. Especially on the job creation front. Texas and a few other states pretty much make up all the recent job creation in the country.

Rates are on the rise for certain types of freight, but as we know, that is much different than whether it is passed on to the actual operator. Lot of drivers are struggling but carrier profits have actually been pretty good.

I think you are giving some way too much information to digest.:D

Seems to be the reoccurring theme when folks leave there as of late. You are right Steve, there are a lot of opportunities once one starts to look around a little.
