    Concluding Our Rookie Year

    I don't know that anyone knows what "his" definition of success is. I don't know that it matters. I am sure it is much different than my own. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

    Concluding Our Rookie Year

    I think all of it is on topic. Other than, wondering why this post by Phil is here in the first place? Additionally, if one is now promoting himself as a rookie, then the newbie reading must realize there was was several years under a fleet owner prior. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII...

    Who would care what the goal was unless of course he is sharing it with the EO members. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

    Concluding Our Rookie Year

    Technically, you are not a rookie Phil, even as a owner/operator. ============================== True statement but not enticing. In fact, I am not sure why this post is even here? Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

    Beware when considering "opportunities"

    Lease purchases come to mind. These usually turn into a disaster. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

    2007 Peterbilt 335

    One thing for sure, we usually had much better service from the KW and Pete dealers. None of the bs of taking a week to change a light bulb. Most dealerships actually have parts without having to charge you a overnight freight fee for something they should carry and don't. Imagine that...

    Analyzing Freight Slowdown

    Looking over several posts, I think much has to do with the type of vehicle and certain markets. The beginning of October was weak from slowing economy and several strikes. There were still runs, but length of haul declined. We had several trucks go to FL and it took several days to get them...

    Landstar

    No actually not. I don't consider someones accept/decline or in service numbers a personal issue. Asking about someones health for example would be. If I was to buy a business, I wouldn't feel too guilty about obtaining the records. In this case, he made a public disclosure. Sorry, but I don't...

    Ok....I will give some quick answers. “He does provide his run count etc. which would be available to anyone.†Are you claiming that any contractor of Panther can “look into†the load acceptance rates of another?? I find that hard to believe and would be very disappointed to find that to...

    2007 Peterbilt 335

    Top shelf and very close to the KW. Only difference is the Pete sits on top of the frame, and the electrical system is alittle different. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

    Considering buying 4 trucks from owner

    I would agree. Not the time to jump into expediting and trying to learn the business. As you read and learn through these forums you will see what challenges you would face. Most of those will come at a high financial cost. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

    Sprinter Transmission Line

    I would question this information as well. Just doesn't sound right. I don't ever recall a post of this nature with regards to the Sprinter. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

    Landstar

    Hedgehog, I don't see where actual personal information is provided. He does provide his run count etc. which would be available to anyone. I have called numerous carriers in the past when contracting to someone, and that information is readily available. It really has little to do with...

    How do I get background on a fleet owner

    Not sure I understand the concept of white glove if they put new people in that position. But I am not with Fedex. I will tell you that if the guy doesn't return calls, it is likely a sign of your future efforts to collect your paycheck. Or....wait until you have a breakdown. Davekc...
