Tricky issue. In your case it would almost seem fair to have a insurance claims adjuster look at it at the time, and then base costs from that. Hitting a curb wouldn't likely effect the U joints. Front end is tough because of the high milage. For the amount of money you are talking, I would...

I am probably the closest to Streak. Numerous variables would determine whether I would run it. I will say that the rate is pretty low for a WG load. High dollar reefer or WG trucks running at that rate is not good. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

A shell of what you are talking about already exists, although it is not membership owned, and has no involvement with vehicle ownership. Check out the Alliance. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

Have to agree. 50 percent of what? 50 percent of zero is still zero. Need quite a bit more information. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

Very good advice. If a fleet owner wants to know if he is classifying their drivers correctly, Go to www.irs.gov and search forms for SS8. Fill it out and send it in. They will respond back with the appropriate classification. I can tell you that if you are paying for fuel and the like, that...

Gregg is closer to what actually happens in this arena under the current IRS guidelines. We have went throgh several audits and had no problems even with a review of our driver contract. They did question some fuel disbursement costs on the first one, and we made a few adjustments but there...

I would agree. Somewhere between 5000 and 7000 miles. It really isn't the miles, but how many hours and cold starts. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

When it is slow, carriers are taking every load they can get their hands on. Acceptance rate means absolutely nothing. I am more interesting in whether we are running profitably or not. Which is better, 100 percent acceptance and broke, or 50 percent and profitable? Sometimes our numbers are...

I see two seperate issues. If it is a repair, I think the owner should pay for it. If it is an accident, it then turns to who is at fault. If the other party is at fault, I would pay for the repairs and make the necessary arrangements to get reimbursed through the insurance company. If the...

Yes....warm in the SE. Santa don't need skis on the sled, he needs pontoons. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

75 degrees outside. Where is there ice? Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

You can fax but they don't want all of your paper work done that way. You are talking about one run, verses a whole week of stuff. We did one a few weeks ago and had no problems. If the customer has email and a scanner, send it from there after you unload. Good point on Saskatoon. If you don't...

You can send a BOL and Pro via my described method. We do it all the time. On email, you might want to confirm they actually have it. Or send it where you get a email receipt confirmation back. The scan is the best way, but these are the alternatives for your described situation. Call for...

Fax your paperwork right from the shipper, or email it to paperwork@ pantherexpedite.com. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

I don't think we are talking about the same type of insurance. One policy is hauling your own items and the other is hauling contracted freight. In otherwords, the policy for a florist delivery truck is much different than hauling contracted freight. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO...

I think the confusion is between truck insurance and load insurance. Depending on where you are shopping, load insurance can be as high as $10,000 a year. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator
