Terry, There were several that tried that approach with Fedex ground and they ran into problems. Not sure of all the specifics, but as you mentioned, I would certainly look into it. Additionally, ground has a lot more issues than CC All eyes are on that case in CA. that they are appealing. You...

Sounds like you did Panther a favor. Agree with Cheri as well. Good luck. I think you are going to need it. Sat 15 days in the same spot and refused to move. Yep.....gonna need a lot of luck at the Star. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

It is hardly hypothetical Phil. This is far from the first time this has come up. As in Rich's case, it is rediculous that the carrier would even consider these options. That turns into profit at any costs regardless of the driver. The driver should never have to say "No'. The question...

Use the search function and type in Hino. Should bring you back some information as the truck has been posted about numerous times. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

Its a no brainer. The load would have to be transferred or if a TT, the trailer dropped and picked up by another driver. If it was one of our trucks, another driver would not be permitted. Doesn't matter who the customer is. Even if it is a straight truck, I wouldn't permit another driver other...

When we traveled we had our two attack puppies. Two killer pomeranians:7 Amazingly, they heard any sound when someone would even touch the truck. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

I would still recommend looking back several months to get some kind of idea. Why? Because opinions will generate many different answers depending on the company, solo or team, type of vehicles etc. All of those differences are likely to give you different answers. Some are doing well, and...

If I wanted a mood altering technique or experience, I don't believe writing something down would be my first choice. My wife may have something to say about that. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

The post or thoughts may have gotten mixed up with another. These were posted earlier, but I have used both with decent results. www.nttsbreakdown.com www.truckdown.com Other options are through the truck and engine manufacturers. Ex. KW assist which you are likely familar with...

Not sure? We just logged on after reading your message and it is working as it usually does. Maybe a network problem with your server? Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

What a nice refreshing post. Thanks for sharing. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

That could apply possibly on a small carrier. Most of the big ones require drivers to carry WC or some type of replacement policy. As long as that is in place, and paid by the contractor, there shouldn't be a problem. That is my opinion, not a legal finding. But if they are to change that, then...

The issue you are talking about is from California I believe. That is one of the states reviewing workers compensation. If you are based there, it may be a issue with some future legislation. That would only be on the state level. Much different than federal guidelines. Last I read, they were in...

I agree with Cheri. Joe you are way off base with your comment, but that is understandable as you have only been here less than a month. The issue of sitting for 10 days in the same location was posted several times with educational information to rectify the problem. It was posted again, so a...

Your situation mirrors a experience I had five or six months ago for a EO member that had sat in CA for a week and was going to DH to Oh. They called me while they were already in AZ. I found a load that was just under $2.00 a mile going to OH. I got the load booked for them and they wouldn't...

Darn.....my Fed stock took a dump today. A hit on the FSC shouldn't be that bad as they already took a pretty good percentage earlier this year. Look for further cuts (or adjustments as they call it) as they need to maintain the wages and costs of their company fleet. Davekc owner...

Remus, What are thinking? Why would you waste a third of a month sitting in Detroit? Only one waiting to be nominated as the DA of the month would consider waiting that long. Even the cheapest load board would provide a run out of the area. If you can't afford to move somewhere after a day or...
