Jeez!! You could at least thank him for the coat rack you just got.:D Nix on the Love Boat,

Yeah, I stopped by a couple of months ago to have Don check the inverter in my truck. He had several sprinters and a couple of freightliner centurys in the shop, but I didn't know he was still building the "cruiser".

Save me some before Ken gets to it.:D

VERY NICE!!!!!!!! Is there a ribbon cutting ceremony planned?:D

Sure. Probably be best if you sent them in a PM.

I don't know of any fleet owners that pay drivers per mile. The standard is either a 40/60% split or 40% of the load revenue to the driver and 60% to the owner who pays the fuel and keeps 100% of the FSC, or a 60/40% split which is just the reverse. The reason being that rates per loaded mile...

Sorry RoadTime, senior moment. In answer to your question, that's probably going to be tough. Like the other larger carriers, Panther's emphasis is on teams. The 60/40 split will be tough as well given the current price of fuel. You should be getting the FSC under this arrangement, but...

Thanks for the info Deanna. I have one of the 960 Cruisers, a 2006. Who is building the sleeper for your trucks since Bentz is no longer in business?

You will have trouble keeping drivers using a 60/40 split. The FSC rarely covers the fuel costs, especially with the cost of fuel now, and any deadhead miles will come out of the drivers pocket since most carriers don't pay much for DH miles. 40/60 is pretty much the standard. In cargo...

I think a solo will still be able to make money Guido. If a solo has been running legal, the EOBR's and electronic logs won't cause you to make any change. If they change the HOS to 10 hours of driving time, a solo should still be able to adapt. Dispatchers will be the ones under more...

What are you driving? Cargo Van, Sprinter, Straight truck, or Tractor?

A recent thread in the General Forum talks about trust when accepting a load. Many Load 1 owners and drivers spoke up explaining how and why they trust Load 1 to have their back when it comes to the revenue on loads. Other posters either understood our reasons or they didn't, but the one thing...

That why I'm not having any of my guys mess with the QC if they are sitting. It can take as much as 12 hours for the paperwork to be sent. They can start the truck and let it idle to keep the batteries up. Getting that paperwork in on time is more important. Also told them not to touch the...

This isn't normal:confused:

I'd say that points the finger at the QC. What needs to be determined is the QC's amperage draw during the 2-3 hr. cycle and when it goes into sleep mode. This is time consuming since you have to let both the QC and the van's modules power down. A multimeter has to be connected to the system...

Chef, Did the truck start without help? If not, did you have the QC "brain" unplugged?

Shooter, didn't know you were here at Load 1, welcome. We have similar problems with battery drain on my Sprinters when they sit. Turning the light off on the QC works for awhile, but will come back on when the QC cycles. One of my drivers is a certified Sprinter tech, and I worked on...

We have T-Shirts.:D

They were put together by Freightliner of Knoxville. Since Sterling trucks have been discontinued, and Bentz sleepers is also out of business. I haven't seen the dealer advertise anything on them. New, they were around $102,000. You can still pick up a used one since they are plentiful...

Fits perfectly IMHO:D
