Think you answered your own question.

Good, bad, or indifferent, Beck is laughing all the way to the bank. The left only wish they had someone who had a fraction of his daily ratings. I don't watch him unless he is on O'Reilly, but I certainly see his results.

After all these years, "cash is still king". That may change if Obamer keeps screwing things up, but it still holds as of now. If you can't pay cash for it, you can't afford it. No need to complicate the simple. Many tried to complicate it, and that is what you currently find in the repo...

Like any place, they could get me once, but it would be the last. Even if I had to pay more somewhere else. It is a principle thing.

Could very well be a leak at the fan or the air hose to it. Not uncommon at all. As mentioned, check the purge valve at the dryer because it could be sticking at times causing a intermittent leak. Freightliner is notorious for replacing dryer assemblies whether it needs it or not because of that...

Might be able to go to Laredo in a van for for .85 a mile. Try doing that in a straight truck and that Tractor Supply gig will look mighty attractive.

If you go to the Panther web site they have discounts through Schnieder National and Wingfoot.

Steve Most of the complaining on this thread looks to be from their own drivers. With that said, I don't think someone has to be with a specific carrier to identify certain deficiencies. Every carrier is likely to have a few.

That is more how I am seeing it but Leo's scenerio is applicable but I would guess in a small percentage. I sat with a Panther dispatcher for almost a entire shift and that scenerio came up maybe once or twice. So that is why I say maybe different customers? The other concern would be if they...

I wonder if they are holding the load? You were with Panther and you get those every so often, but certainly not a steady diet of them.

I see your point but it would seem easier if they have that little time to just call the closest truck and get a quick answer verses counter offers and all that. Most loads have more window than that in them. 15 or more load offers a day that are cheap just baffles the mind. Can't even imagine...

Steve I guess what I can't get my head around is the concept of this is done for speed. I have sat in on dispatching with several carriers, and only a handful of loads come up in a day that would need that type of response. Maybe different customers? If you send a load offer out that is cheap...

As much as you are jumping carriers, I see a bigger problem and it isn't any of the carriers mentioned.

If you have already plead guilty, then your options are about zero. If they are still in the pipeline, then hire an attorney from the state in which you received them. They should be able to clear that up.

Based on your offers and posts of several others that are similar, I don't see another way of looking at it. One can fluff the cotton candy any way they want but it still comes back to the same place. Drivers running at those rates will eventually go broke or they will take them like I might...

My personal opinion would be to wait a year while the new CMV rules go into place to rid some of the undesirables and then follow with the same requirements that commercial pilots have. If it is known to the public that some drivers may be armed, I can only see that as a good thing. Could a...

No, no.........that is a good thing. As long as the myths and rose colored glasses continue to survive, the less competition elsewhere.

I think the balance you describe is of great service to the new folks as they are reading the "sunshine and lollipop" stories. A lot of outside scrutiny comes because many see the reality verses the rose colored glasses version. Every carrier has its good and bad points and that "balance" is...

They certainly have some strong points or no one would be there.

I don't know if that is a industry average but that is what we are currently getting.
