Good question. Since I only look at it through as a business investment, my opinion on how I am viewed matters little. What does matter is whether investment is keeping up with expectations. So far it has. If a point comes and it doesn't, just like anything else, you move to correct those...

I can possibly understand the AZ or TX slow down, but not Chicago. The reduced rate program is a smoke screen of BS. One of my pet peeves with how Panther operates. Rates to the customer haven't changed that much. Ever wonder why you could be the only one on a productive board but it takes...

The problem isn't with Panther. The problem he has is with the fleet owner. Panther has nothing to do with that.

Well Tal, I will give you my opinion on the healthcare law as I understand it or interpret it. I look at it from two fronts as the family owns and operates a health clinic in TN. I haven't commented on it much because there is so many components to it. My short take is that it will do some...

That is exactly what it did. The engine was no longer under warranty but the turbo was due to a replacement in July. It ceratinly saved us here. There is no way to predict this type of event or stop it from happening.

Almost. The difference is one is the president and the other is a entertainer.

I would agree you on your assessment. Have to be careful on the ROI (return on investment) observation as we had a member some time ago that said it didn't exist. :D Old time laughable moment for some.

Even if part of it is factual, it is still a problem with how he views the military.

It is encouraging to see a carrier looking at ALL of the picture, rather than part of it. I think many carriers are still living in the past with regards to carrier/owner operator relations. They are too focused on a turbulent economy which breeds screwing the driver at every turn thinking there...

Ark......this is how your president addressed your concern. THIS HAS TO BE THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS STATEMENT EVER MADE BY A PUBLIC OFFICIAL...LET ALONE BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. AND THIS GUY IS OUR "COMMANDER IN CHIEF." HE IS A DISGRACE. UNBELIEVABLE...

Well....here is a current little semi-related story. We have a 05 M2 we paid cash for from Jon Mosier when he was at Knoxville. Ran it to about 600k something and the turbo blew out in July at Benson, AZ. No problem, loose a couple of days and our load but replaced turbo and then reloaded out...

Just speaking for our straights I would say just as busy but the length of haul has been a little less this week. If I look at the whole first quarter which isn't quite over, it has been outstanding.

Going to move this thread over to the Panther site. Someone needed a little quiet time.

Been awhile since we've seen a thread with this many first time posters.:rolleyes: Some even putting 8 in a row up in under an hour. Turtle had it right. Very comical to say the least.

I was thinking the same thing.

Only need a DBA if he is buying it another name other than himself. A LLC is not a requirement for a commercial loan.

What kind of truck are you trying to buy? Your biggest problem is buying with no truck ownership experience track record. Credit has become tougher to obtain but not impossible. As I mentioned in another thread and you found out, a written business plan may be good for you to track your own...

One of many insurance carriers that are going to be raising rates. The hope and change that many voted for.

As I have said before, "Cash is king" in this business. As suggested by others, don't borrow money for this business unless you have a fair amount of capital behind you. The number one failure in this business is due to undercapitalization. Start small and work your way up. Most of the new...

Thats a bummer. The wife and I have a full plan which will probably double, followed by a 40 percent additional tax in 2018. I'm just giddy over the news.
