No problem. I like to share them with the blonde relatives. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

A BLONDE'S CAR GETS A FLAT TIRE ON THE INTERSTATE ONE DAY, SO SHE EASES IT OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. SHE CAREFULLY STEPS OUT OF THE CAR AND OPENS THE TRUNK. SHE THEN TAKES OUT TWO CARDBOARD MEN, UNFOLDS THEM AND STANDS THEM AT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE...

That was my thoughts. Wouldn't be surprised if Hillary picks this guy for a running mate. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

I think that is a quick fix at the next Panther meeting or driver council. A confirmation needs to be sent to the driver/truck via QC/phone call if one is put out of service for any reason. Should be a quick fix. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

Respect Senator Barack Obama, Governor Bill Richardson, Senator Hillary Clinton and Ruth Harkin stand during the national anthem. Barack Hussein Obama's photo (that's his real name)......the article said he REFUSED TO NOT ONLY PUT HIS HAND ON HIS HEART DURING THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, BUT...

I understand what you mean. Usually in those cases it becomes "follow the money" CC is a value added service. Their core business is overnight and LTL. That is what they pitch to the shareholders. (We are one). If I knew nothing of this business based on their information, I would know more...

ding, red light,ring a ling a ling,calling about load to so and so,you just posted,oh sorry its already gone.thats enough for load board =================================== That speaks volumes on one that doesn't know where to look. Better off waiting on the red light. Davekc owner 23...

Personally I would like to hear more about this phantom drivers council in more informative and useful way from the company and see how it can be changed to reflect the changes within the bigger picture of our world and how we can actually leverage it for us, the general population of CC...

RE: Are truckers at greater risk for staph infecti I would say they are. I have seen some pretty rough buffets in many truck stops. Especially the person walking out of the restroom who failed to wash their hands and puts their hands right in the food. Yuck. Not a big truck stop buffet fan...

Not sure if I am convinced or not? Think I would need to know more about it. I like the concept in theory. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

We have done three of them. One KW, and the other two were Petes. One was a wreck, and the other two were originally burnt. Never tried one with an expediter, but I don't see why you couldn't. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

I would say you are right Hawk. 70 percent of what? Acceptance percentages have no value. We look at specific runs to determine their profitability. If 7 out of ten are good, then we are at 70 percent. If 7 runs are poor out of ten, well....that is pretty low. If we were to run 7 poor runs, then...

Well I still think if it is taken in the context of an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting it is hilarious. ======================================== That is funny. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

In a perfect world, a lease purchase "might work" The driver has a risk that his payments are used by the owner for something else, therefore the truck is never paid off. Owner is vulnerable because he carries the note, and has no real verification of maintenance. Driver trashes the truck and...

The big thing with this is to let drivers know. It is on their screen which is how I watch our drivers, so never a problem. I could see an issue when someone has no internet access. As far as the "refusing to negotiate" we have never had that happen. It would not be a recommended idea on...

I would be skeptical. Even more so with a van. The areas of concern are if he pays the maintenance, who determines where and how much is done? Could be a sticky situation. Secondly, who is holding the title if you are paying it off? Another area of concern if something goes south. Does all of...

Hard question to answer without knowing why the owner would be holding his pay. Depending on the carrier, my next question would be is whether the owner is waiting on that pay from the settlement. The rest of it is a cost the owner must absorb. Lost revenue to have the truck cleaned, sending a...

How long have you been doing this? Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

In most cases unless picked up at a dealer, I take a pictures of it with the new driver present. Several of the pictures can be taken with a newspaper in the picture for date confirmation. Anyone can change dates on a camera. The other option is to email the pictures, thus providing...
