Silver, If I'm not mistaken (and his profiel certainly bears this out), John is located at the Overland Park office, not Dayton. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119

Drats! I said some nice things in the first thread as well. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119

RE: lookout big cat peeps ..what will I'm sure there will be someone with even more facts on the buyout of Roberts and how it relates to this thread, but here is something we probably don't want to hear: First of all, let me say I am not the anti-fecc or anti-Panther guy. I have too much to...

>I sleep at night, but on a park bench..... ============================================= Hey Fish, I failed to mention that after I picked up my 2 pound box, I called the dispatcher and asked if I could pass it to a van. He said the van guy was still at home, so I offered to drive the 20...

RE: lookout big cat peeps ..what will Actually UPS does have this division. They bought it from Menlo, although I believe that they were more interested in the heavy freight forwarding side of Menlo at the time. Give it some time. UPS never makes a quick move. When they make a calculated...

Actually, UPS designs their routes for them (remember, they're employees)so that they have as few left turns as possible. This actually makes their route more time efficient. Phil, I believe that California is located somewhere in outer space, near the nebula of Paris Hilton, who by the way, I...

>How many times have you heard comments like that at a >pickup? > =========================================== I've never heard that. And BTW, the only wasted efficiency is if your vehicle is not efficient. If my truck hauls one 40x40x42H skid and I'm still getting my truck rate, then that...

Yes, I think about ways to hit all the green lights as well. Hey Phil, You've been to California a lot lately. Do they still have sections of the freeway in LA that have NO white line between lanes and only the little white reflector tabs? Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13...

My truck can scale about 6200 lbs of freight. Last week I got asked to run a 100 miler with a 1 piece / 2 lbs. shipment. Did I bid on the sucka? Absolutely. But it costs me as much to run a 2 pound package as it does a 2000 package. So I still bid for a truck rate. Drive Safe! Jeff...

You did right in returning the load. Rufusing it has nothing to do with your inability as a driver. You saw an unsafe situation, and you made a right choice. No run is worth running dangerous. Yes, there are things you can do to make your truck more stable, but it does sound like the load...

As for me, you are quite welcome on here. As T-Hawk stated, I am sure that carriers would definitely hate to see multiple trucks disappear at the same time, so there is the possibility for favoritism. But as LDB's post on sitting in with dispatch for a day attested, there really isn't any time...

Qualcomm is located in San Diego, so yes it probably originated from their server at midnight. Here's my ignorant question of the day: If it is realy QC's fault, how come only Panther people are having this issue? There are plenty others who use QC. I'm sure the text service is not a...

BTW, I don't get too many runs scheduled for the next day or days in advance either. Yes, the shipper has time to shop his options. It's usually only when the P/U is in a rural place or funny time window though. Oh, and that 300 bucks may or may not have been charged back to the shipper...

As Night said, cancellations happen for other reasons besides price shopping. Truck to arrive in 90 min, shipper closes in 30 min. Shipper won't wait, so consignee cancels his order with shipper and orders product from company thst is one time zone earlier who will be open for three hours...

Is it possible that the truck was CC, but that the trailer was being moved for a customer? Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119

Yeah Phil. No one blames you for posting the poem. As you can see, a lot of people on here really do enjoy the positive writing. Legitimate criticism is one thing. But some of this more recent bashing seems to stem from unfortunate life situations outside of EO, not within it. Drive...

It's funny how alot of comments on this thread don't make sense now, because the original antagonistic response was deleted. Oh well. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119

Well, Jefferson is my middle name, as well as the first part of my company name. 3000 just happened with Yahoo back in Y2K as I didn't want to be a has-been in just one year. Plus MST3000 (Mystery Science Theater)is one of my favorite shows. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13...

Well, when you're leased to one carrier, it's kind of similar to working a job in that you have a very focused task to perform. When you run your own company, you are the salesman, the bookkeeper, and the driver. And yes, you will learn alot, especially when someone tries to cheat you. Or...
