Terry wrote So why then, do so many folks object to displaying their carrier's logo? Advertising pays and, by virtue of our display of our carrier's logo, we help in some small way to promote business for them that brings business to us. If the choice was mine, I'd require any owner wishing to...

It is for the cost of the decals if you terminate your contract early. I believe the first six months. It isn't for them to perform the actual removal of them. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

I will attempt to help you with regards to terminating your contract. First, read your contract so you understand the length of time for charges related to decals and the return of your escrow. It is all spelled out in there. Secondly, if your cell phone minutes are limited, use a house or pay...

RE: geez!!!! Moon Prowler Dave for your reply to what I posted. Since when does anyone have to be a registered member to come to this forum and read posts? And since when does a registered member have to sign in to come read posts in this forum? =============================== I don't believe...

RE: These moderators are company BOYS. All we are saying is provide factual information if you are going to start trashing someone. There is plenty of information on any company both good and bad. Apparently you are reading what YOU want to read. A simple trip through the archives will educate...

In this case, no perception is warranted. He stated Panther sux. Read into that what you want. Our experience is much different. Again, you can read into that what you want or do not want. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

After reading your original post, I agree with the others in that it contained no information or value. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

As to how low or how cheap their rates are will depend on numerous items. They are paying roughly half what we do for fuel. Wages appear to be about half as well. It would seem as if they will be quite competitive. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

OVM The reason most won't go into Mexico is because of a corrupt law inforcement and insurance issues. You stand a good chance of getting your equipment confiscated and held for financial ransom. That isn't to mention any personal safety issues. This has went on for years. That is why the self...

You are getting excellent advice that highly discourages the conversion of a dry van to a refridgerated one. Again it is the same answer this time around. NO, NO, and NO. Followed by another NO. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

I think the benefits are somewhere in between. With your own authority you can haul expedites for other carriers. Keep in mind you are getting their junk that they don't won't. On occassion you will find a diamond, but only because they don't have a available truck. If business slows, these...

Your individual recruiter may be off. For the questions you have, any one of the recruiters could answer. There are several usually available all the time during business hours. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

Allan I would recommend talking to your respective recruiter for up to date information and a explanation as to what the three days covers. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

Several of those issues will be some major stubbling blocks. HOS will be a big one. Currently there is no enforcement in Mexico. A driver could have drove 40 hours straight in Mexico, and when he gets to the US border, he just logged he started. No check and balance. Another big issue is...

Chet, Those things are a pain. We fixed it twice under warranty with one of those times after you were in it and went to the reefer truck. Putting alittle grease on there as Linder mentioned seemed to do the trick. On your a/c, it could be the pressure switch or a bad evaporator. Even more...

As of 8.30 PM Your voices were heard http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/11/AR2007091101953.html Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

Probably will take some looking to find the specific information and guidelines. I would imagine there is quite a bit of information as that was a pilot program that went for I believe a year before they were granted permission to do their whole fleet. It would be possible to block the signal so...

Just shows the type of community that EO represents. As you mentioned, Broom is a great stand up guy. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

Fantastic trouble free units for about $1,000. Call Ray at Espar for details. Really knows the units. 1-800-837-3900 Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

Gregg, You bring up some very good points. Alot of your questions or concerns were addressed when they first tested the paperless log system. The first to test it as a large carrier was Werner Enterprises. They do make the information readily available and downloadable in several formats. That...
