    Big Sleepers and 34 Hour Restarts

    Wow.....I can go back to buying the little 36" specials. Can't say I have ever heard of this.

    A wave of new Expediters?

    I don't know if the UAW is all to blame, but when I see 5 people required to unload one pallet at a plant, that is a indication of a problem. 1. one to open the overhead dock door 2. the second holds a clipboard and writes the incoming order. 3. The third removes the load bars. 4, The...

    This takes the cake!

    Unless you have a known ailment in which you are taking medication or are conscience of certain symptoms, it would be difficult to really prepare for most instances. Just about any circumstance could change how one would react and the process. Not exactly something you can practice for, except...

    Laptop Tv

    Are we to assume the TV and computer must remain on at all times? BTW The first I heard of this was from Leo, and yes, the wife mentioned it after watching Dr. Phil. I was surprised he would have been talking about slingboxes. Wife said they were prizes or something for his 1000th show?

    Truck Length

    I would agree with the other comments and stick to 40 feet or less. The cost of any litigation will out weigh any advantage that the extra length would bring. If it becomes too imperative, just buy a tractor trailer and forget about a straight.

    A wave of new Expediters?

    I think they have bigger problems looming. Sending new Chinese and India cars here in the 3k to 10k range is going to be a major obstacle to overcome.

    I am p**sed off, literally!!!or maybe litterally!!!

    They are now checking laptops for child porn at the Canadian borders. I wonder what customs would think with those type of pictures on the laptop? Certainly a thought to ponder.

    Liftgate question.

    Phil has the right idea. Add a grill and the porch lights and your are good to go in the evening.

    Liftgate question.

    You might get a little use out of it at the Fed, but the numerous ones we have had through the years were used more for a back porch than any type of freight handling. Didn't help dragging that heavy thing around fuel economy wise either.

    I am p**sed off, literally!!!or maybe litterally!!!

    Apparently this one was read and copied. Selective reading? or selective posting? The urine saga goes on.:rolleyes:

    Solo??

    Many companies limit solos based on 47mph to 50 mph. HOS rules will generally keep you from achieving a 600 mile a day average. You may have a little more flexibility with a company that doesn't use qual-comms. Also with the nature of expediting, you will likely find that you run one day...

    Hmmm just how random

    I have to admit, this is the first time I have seen both get a drug screen at the same time. As for cost, Panther pays the drug screen cost.

    Panther Drivers what do you think?

    I believe they are in house folks. The bigger issue is implementing a program without a working knowledge of how it effects trucks in day to day operations. If so, you wouldn't see some of the current issues that it has created. Should have consulted the drivers council and ran a pilot program...

    I am p**sed off, literally!!!or maybe litterally!!!

    What I find amazing is 60 plus posts discussing urine. Do they? don't they? How can I confront them? How can I get a picture? That is wierd in itself. One would have to think there are other priorities out there?

    Panther Drivers what do you think?

    I would say this is a problem unless they are considering dwell time into the equation with a defined radius, which they are not. Very valid point. Someone had the bright idea to to send a message via the QC stating the system is smarter than the driver. Well...lets see Unloaded in...
