Hey folks. Things don't change on Capitol Hill overnight. These issues really take time. It's never about a simple win. That's just intimidation usually, not lobbying for real answers. We are such a microwave society that we thing if something doesn't achieve immediate results, it's a...

Hi there. I know that members Geo and DannyD are contracted w/ them. Might look them up or do a search within the forums for EGL, as well as the archives. Drive Safe! Jeff

Hmmm....W4500. Isn't that the cabover? I've been seeing a bunch of those crew cabs lately. I'm sure that those are NOT dock high, as I believe that they have 16" wheels. Now as far as the 4500 Kodiak, I believe that it IS dock high. BTW, there is a small freight forwarder in my town that...

I heard the name was gonna be "F-Ups." Whoops....sorry.

Yes, and I don't want to hear any complaints from the non-voters till the next election. Drive Safe! Jeff

Huh. I just saw one on Friday (10/27) myself. It was northbound on I-75 near North Port, Florida. Drive Safe! Jeff

Yeah, definitely. Florida, like California is a big import state for fruits and vegetables. They don't want ag going out of the state without permit. Too many foreign bugs that could come in on an illegal ship of bananas end up spreading all over the country. In California, they USED to...

If you had read what he said in those same articles, you would see that he is both. Which recruiter would you rather trust, a recruiter who is a salesman at heart, or a dispatcher who knows what the drivers are going through on a daily basis? Drive Safe! Jeff

Hey Craig, Those T-Shirt runs weren't all in the same year, of course. I have done those throughout the years with a couple different companies. Check the air freight sector. I see you are in Daytona. You might find something out of that airport, but probably not much. Daytona falls under...

Hahaha! I've done the T-Shirt runs before. Quite a few times. TB Bucs won the Playoffs, TB Bucs win the Superbowl, TB Lightning win the Stanley Cup, etc. Earlier this I did one when the Florida Gators won the championship. Every time I've done one of these, it was always picking up...

Hey Alvin. I don't think anyone is against you posting your view on here, whether it be of Panther, or anything else. All things do come to an end however, and it sounds as if you're very unhappy with Panther. I've worked in situations that just didn't seem to work for me. No matter what I...

Well, in reading that post, it seems that the decision was to have the batteries changed out by the service dept., after having purchased them. Why? One reason would be to use your home time to be with family, rather than doing mechanical work. I would rather pay someone for that service...

Been around for some years now. Formerly Emery, than Menlo Expedite, till they were bought out. There have been some very recent discussions about them on here, so check w/ the search feature. I know there are at least a couple of owner operators on here that are with them. Drive Safe! Jeff

All I can say is "WOW!" Drive Safe! Jeff

Yeah Greg, I liked that line about the truck too. Pretend to be benevolent. Drive Safe! Jeff

So your former owner is also a former politician? It makes sense... http://www.medina-gazette.com/Articles.asp?num=58766464 Looks like he's appeared before the judge a few times. Drive Safe! Jeff

Once up a time, fuel was cheaper. Fuel over the years may have climbed a bit, but it basically was considered as part of a rate increase. In the last five years, we have seen more dramatic increases and decreases in fuel prices. Some of these have come on suddenly, bringing the need for a...

Good quote. Thanks! Drive Safe! Jeff

Taz, Isn't the Tare weight on a vehicle the same as curb weight? Am I mistaken, because this would include a full tank of fuel that you put in addition to tare. FRP is nice, but it sure adds weight to the overall package. Drive Safe! Jeff

Probably the reason he didn't arrest you was that he knew it was bogus. (He'd be S#!t up a creek if he arrested you under false pretenses.) He figured you'd just pay them the money and go on. Drive Safe! Jeff
