If you are on a paperless system, the carrier can provide the information to you for the whole year by date. They keep that information in case of a DOT audit. You could put it on a disk and keep it until whenever. I believe they keep it for three years, but I am not sure. I would have to think...

Leo's information is accurate. I have never heard of a request for funds prior to orientation. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

Turtle. That was a very good post, and is relavent as to why the posts were pulled. Putting out a vague piece of information and then attacking someone when it is in question, wasn't warranted. What I seen this morning was baiting someone for the sake of drawing attention to oneself and...

I think John did have the right approach. Most of it is what the return and margins are in your investment. If you compare the cost of a single new dry van against a reefer truck that is twice as much, the revenue has to be close to double. Assuming a $1.20 rate and .25 cent FSC, the reefer...

Most non cdl trucks are 26,000 lbs or less and no air brakes. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

I would say a little of it depends on where the team actually lives. Part of their time off could involve just getting them home if they don't live in the freight lanes. With that being said, we usually are around three on, and one off. Just a matter of when the loads take you by the house. Of...

It makes sense to have the most tech savvy and the ones that aren't, test a system. It shouldn't take long to determine a systems weakness. What may be a easy process for one, may be a difficult task for another. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

Laura, We usually do it once a year unless they are leaking or the rubber bushings are dry rotting. As for brand, we use Monroe or the factory ones. Just depends on whats available. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

RE: I would like to drive instate only,are there a Go to a large airport and talk to the air freight forwarders. Their stuff is pretty much regional. I had to laugh at the Dominoes, but that is a viable option. Just not in a van. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

RE: About This No problem, I figured that was alittle closer to what you were looking for. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

RE: About This 9/11 was a temporary slow down for roughly a month. A true recession goes for months. Most of it his expediting starting in 2000 and lasting roughly a year. We knew it was here when trucks would be lined up in Chicago (TA on 90) for a week, and still be there the next. At that...

Cheri is right.....I may have to alter that in the future. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

RE: Cheer up! A recession is coming and you are go Having several other sources of income is one. The second is not to carry any excessive debt. The Dave Ramsey philosophy. "Cash is King" would apply here. And the third was to buy other trucks from failing drivers through finance auctions or...

RE: Cheer up! A recession is coming and you are go Not exactly, as we have went through several and we are still here. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

Finally Fox News had a 3 second blurb about the Mexican Trucks coming next week. They probably won't need IFTA. There was a news story a month ago that these trucks were adding fuel tanks to round trip their runs. Not bad for them on paying no fuel tax and a pump price of 1.25 to 1.50 a...

Amazing how a load can be booked 24 hours in advance and yet the driver gets 90 minutes to a 75 mile away pickup ===================================================== There is likely a few reasons that happens. Most of it depends on where you are at. If you are one of a few trucks on a...

Glad your ok and didn't recieve any major injuries. I don't think they can say you were lying about anything, but my interpretation of your accident based on what you wrote is that a unsecured load/turning too fast caused the accident. The police didn't issue a citation likely because there was...

Very bizarre to say the least. Maybe there is more to those soapbox forum Firegear posts than we thought? "Don't ask, don't tell" As for the reefer conversion, go with a used one. Many available if you shop around alittle. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator
