    New trucker tax

    Imagine that being implemented into the airline industry. Every time a plane lands or takes off.

    Heathcare Bill Passed

    Imagine that? But it will be still free for the crowd that can't afford it because their wages (if any) got sucked up from 200 dollar Nike shoes & hats, gold chains and teeth, multiple tatoos, sigs and booze, and 5K car stereos and rims. I did read something that their profit from premuims...

    Heathcare Bill Passed

    I think everyone would be in favor of some reform of the insurance industry. I think that could have been accomplished without a government takeover. There are sure to have some lawsuits on the way challenging many parts of it. Just like most of the other bills past this year, most that voted...

    Panther & Expeditors Services. Why so slow?

    I would add collections and load insurance into that mix along with access to specific loads that aren't generally available to a smaller outfits because of clearances, bonds, and insurance. We have ran under our own authority in the past. Unless something changes, what we are doing now has...

    Would you sign on with Roberts Express?

    If it wasn't for Roberts, I wouldn't be here. Didn't know what expediting was until the company I worked for became a customer.

    How is your Company doing?

    Ours is a mixed bag. Availibility, dh, AM, and refusals isn't accurate. It shows 0 refusals on one truck but we are at 85 percent. Also says 3 percent DH. Not true as we here are showing 12 percent. Totals on revenue and FSC are accurate.

    Panther & Expeditors Services. Why so slow?

    I find this statement confusing, It looks like a 262 mile load @ 353.70 plus a day layover. May have a advance per load which isn't listed but I don't get out of 428.70 how the driver winds up with only 75.03? Am I missing something? FSC isn't listed but in this case it would go to the owner...

    Panther & Expeditors Services. Why so slow?

    Ok...I am confused. Is their truck at the dealer getting repaired, or at Panther?

    Panther & Expeditors Services. Why so slow?

    If they are stuck, tell them to just call a tow truck. They wouldn't be paying for the tow anyways.

    Congrats Bolt Express

    That was my thought. Could be a dually or two out there, but not many. And if they were, the listed dimensions aren't accurate unless the wheel wells have been altered.

    Shades of Wants Coming

    Of course it will be more. What is their next coming achievement? You got it. Immigration reform. Jobs? Of course not. They need to get the amnesty thing going fairly soon because they need additional votes come November. Immigration reform started last week. Don't believe that was an...

    Congrats Bolt Express

    What I find surprising on Bolts or the Alliances site is how many Sprinters there are, and secondly, how many are listed at 4000lbs for load capacity. Can a Sprinter carry a 4000lb payload? Even more questionable is if the driver has any personal effects with him. Even seen a few with 5k...

    Panther & Expeditors Services. Why so slow?

    I wonder if they all call Panther after hours? Might be the reason Moot can't get through.:D

    Panther & Expeditors Services. Why so slow?

    They don't want you to tell Panther the truck is broke down because it likely has a higher board position than their later arriving trucks. When they send a load to the truck that can't run it, they then secure the load on one of their other trucks farther down the list or farther away. With 47...

    Panther & Expeditors Services. Why so slow?

    As with any fleet owner regardless of whether it is ES or someone else, if they promise you 40 percent and then magically change it to 35 when you pick up the truck, I think you have your answer. If they are lying in one place, good chance it is other places as well.

    Panther & Expeditors Services. Why so slow?

    I guess it depends if you/they were promised 35 percent from the beginning, or was it a higher percentage and then changed when you signed on? As mentioned, what is in your contract? As to the other stuff, any of it could be considered rumor. As to why someone isn't running could be because...

    New Math?

    Yep it is the new math. I especially like the new way they are going to pay for health care. Taking from SS which is basically broke to fund half of this mess. What I know of the mandates aren't going to be nearly enough to cover a quarter of the costs. Then again, you don't need accuracy for...
