But isn't our discussion of "Off Topic" just a little off topic.....? Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 "Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed." --Mark Twain

Hey Diva, In your defense let me say that I do understand the frustration of wanting to ask a question without having several posters insinuate (of state bluntly) that you must be an idiot for asking. I have seen it happen to many different people at many different times on here. However, I...

Gorgeous pics as always, Mike. I lived in Socal for five years, and it's really nice to see that coastline again. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 "Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed." --Mark Twain

RichM makes a good point. My question is, did Panther actually terminate your contract, or did someone merely suggest that you leave if you are not happy with the way things are done? Because from the original wording, it sounds like the latter is what happened. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for...

Yeah Broom, I write the door down as well. I thought I was the only one who couldn't remember it. I went to one place recently, where the guard gave me my number, but I couldn't for the life of me find a number on ANY door. Saw a few letters though. I finally just parallel parked in front of...

The funny thing is, I load so many shipments, that most of the time, I honestly don't even pay attention to what it is. More than once I have had a receiver ask me, "What is it?" Ha! A lot of times, I cannot even answer them, because I really don't know. I don't really get attached to a...

Well, I know if I refused to take 46% of the runs offered to me, my clients would go elsewhere. If you are an independent contractor, then according to the IRS, you are a small business. Your business is to take care of the needs of your customer, which in your case is Panther. Unless your...

Gosh. For this summer I'd say printed matter. During this spring it seemed to be audio/visual and/or band equipment. That's just what sticks out in my mind atm.But in general, I really don't see any real significant amount of one commodity over another. I'd like to haul more of those "boxes...

Weather dot com says it's 95 here, but feels like 103. How do they figure the "feels like" part? It's only 47% humidity today in sunny central Florida, so that can't be part of it. When it gets in the 90+ humidity, I go hunting for the Sudofed so I can continue breathing. Drive Safe! Jeff...

Oh yeah. 60MPH made a great point. LOTS OF WATER. Dehydration is a big cause of fatigue and / or sleepiness. Gatorade will definitely revive a tired one. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 "Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us...

Ok. Of course as we all know, it's never safe to take a load when your too tired to run it. But as we also know, there are those times when all seems good for the first few hours, and then for some reason we suddenly feel just a little fatigued. In those cases, here is my little list...

Well, if you've followed what their recruiter jbrbears has said recently, they will be recruiting and are planning on flip flopping the percentage of outsourced with the percentage of in house runs. That will probably occur over the next year. Usually, when UPS does finally get on board with...

Hey FREE, Did you mention in another post that you bought a Volvo? If you did, hat is generally another animal in and of itself. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 "Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed." --Mark Twain

Yes Patrick, since you are perfect, you probably need not change anything. However, since the rest of the world is imperfect and internet security is definitely an issue, I would certainly consider switching to the Firefox browser. More importantly, you get to try that cool spell check...

Hehehe. Crapola probably isn't in the database. I think you've made as good of a spelling as any. My wife loves the spellcheck as well. It works on lots of sites, including various webmail services, as well as Myspace and other blogs. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13...

Hey Moot. Are you using Firefox? If so, version 2.0 and above may be what is adding the spell checker. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 "Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed." --Mark Twain

Ah yes. Boston Lobster feast. I took my baby there for her birthday about three weeks ago. Great place. I usually down at least 3 lobster and a bunch of snow crab. I usually go to the one next to the Mall. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 "Let us be...

My prescription is to play with my new puppy Boaz (although on occasion he can be a stress inducer), and rub noses with my honey. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 "Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed." --Mark Twain

Always make sure you communicate your quote to your carrier. Sometimes these things just happen by miscommunication. I know you probably don't want to hear that now, because it may not look like it to you. This is just one of the things that you have to look forward to if you choose to run...

Yeah, I'm sure it behaves more like a flatbed. I've actually thought about getting a curtain-side for my next truck. Either that, or a 3-4 part folding door on the side of the truck. Kind of like this one except for a bigger box: Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA...
