May want to hook up with one of those others claiming that they make 2 to 3 per mile. Don't know I would have the patience to sit there and turn down 27 loads. That certainly bordlines on sheer madness.

Just for me. No interest in plates supplied by the carrier. Fuel advances help on new folks if paying the fuel but for me it wouldn't matter. Have to remember that many new folks have very limited resources if just starting. Carrier should supply cargo and liability. It is their freight...

The text fee is 2.50 a week if one decides they want it, and the highest I have ever heard for a QC weekly charge is 35.00 Maybe they changed something? Are you sure you don't have that confused with the drivers personal accident insurance? QC might be 38 IF you have that texting option...

Unless you really understand this business, I wouldn't recommend it as a absentee owner. Could find it is a very expensive educational experience. If just looking for a write off, there are much easier ways to do it. If just looking to gamble, odds might be better in Vegas.

I am not even going to try to dissect this. Not sure what RI state tax has to do with anything, but ok. These are your situations that have little to do with Panther. If a deduction is in error, find out the specifics. They will give you a printout of every date that it was deducted and in what...

I think your a little confused padre with how this works. First off, your contract is SEPERATE from the person that bought your truck. Your rate or anything else has zero to do with him/her. If your contract was not closed, you were likely being charged for the base plates. Having it repaired...

If you are asking the question, then you probably aren't quite ready. Take your time and really read and follow some of the advice presented. The biggest downfall of new folks is undercapitalization and lack of commitment. Really pay attention to finances and remember "cash is king"...

Need to start a millionaires club.

Gotta call them like I see them.:D

I wouldn't read too much into it. The good news is that if there are that few of trucks out west, Layout shouldn't be deadheading 1800 plus to Saint Louis. Just my take. Nothing really funny, just an observation. ;)

That s why I say to find someone that actually has a verifiable history and reputation in this business. That includes talking to past and current drivers. If they don't have them, then there is a likely reason. Don't rely solely on the advice from the carrier. Their job is to fill trucks...

Why Saint Louis? That is 1800 plus from LA. Thats crazy. Hopefully you made the $4.00 a mile going out there.

I knew there was something to it.:D

I thought the Fed reefer trucks were always preloaded out of the west coast at 3 dollars a mile? Think I read that somewhere?

Not sure on its accuracy but it does support the thinking of a consumption tax. No need for the IRS with that.

That is the whole problem. If you paid in and you are "rich", should you be entitled to what you put in? Some would easily say no. The folks currently in the White house have taken that position. "They must continue to sacrifice". What do you tell these people? If this government was a business...

Sorry to hear about your pet. Certainly never an easy thing to go through.

Glow plugs could be the issue or the wiring going to it. Other possibility is the electric fuel pump is hanging up. That is assuming that it has a good air filter on it. Manuals can be downloaded from the Carrier site.

After buying the new tree hugger machines, I am convinced the corn binder might have been a better option.

Have to go with Phil's thinking on this. It is a rarity that these lease purchases work out. Doesn't mean one wont, but the odds are usually not in the drivers favor.
