In simple terms, it is a account for states to collect tax on the miles you run through their states. If for example you buy fuel in Georgia and run all the way through to Arkansas, Tennessee for example will want their fuel tax money even though you didn't purchase fuel there. It can be...

I agree. I wish they had those units many years ago. Carrier still makes a ok unit, but they are really designed to be off the ground. A couple dealers I have noticed have stopped doing the belly mounts unless it is that TK unit because of all the corrosion and electrical issues...

We seldom ever see one of these unless it is a breakdown or something. If we did ten last year it would be high. Simple solution to the problem. Turn the load down if they don't know where it will swap, or ask for a flat rate that isn't based on miles if they don't know. Additionally, if you...

I have to wonder sometimes where people get their information? We have had several Rigmasters and have had good luck with them. Information from Espar shows a 60 amp alternator is $412.50 A whole engine for replacement would be $2668 You could send a unit (alternator) out for rebuild and it...

Have to agree on the undermount TK unit. It is made specifically for that application and does have all marine grade materials. I would say you made a wise choice. Out of all the reefers we have had over the years, corrosion was always an issue on the Carriers. Spraying them out and keeping the...

Alot of factors come into play on swaps. At the time they are booking the load, they may not know exactly where it is going to swap. Sometimes they know, and sometimes they don't. Some swap locations are not 24/7 which is another issue. The only time pay would drop on a load that I have seen is...

Good point Moot on the 60/40. Forgot to mention earlier, TAB account seems to work pretty well for us as well. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

Welcome to EO You are correct in that a 60/40 or 40/60 is about the same. Until you figure in the FSC. If you take a 60/40 with 100 percent of the FSC, you will come out farther ahead. There are some good posts in the archives on this. Most have shown roughly a $1500 difference per month...

RE: Question for Panther O/Os who booked there own Arlene and Jim got it right. It is pretty simple process. As to a break down or anyting like that it would depend on whether it is expedite or LTL. If it is a LTL load, you can usually fix your truck and then deliver as there isn't a...

Probably not. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

It does say that. I was just questioning it. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

Moot, you are hilarious. That is the beauty of an open forum. Where can you go and have discussions of communism and comedy in the same thread? I'm still laughing. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

I think they did the same thing in Daytona. 10 buses all running the the same 10 mile circle for a handful of people. Every time were are down there, they have few riders except for special events. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

After reading all of this, I think a small handful are confusing the bickering, debates, or arguments as personal attacks. They at times can lead to that, and sometimes they don't. As a open forum, that is an expectation that comes with the territory. If one is "too sensitive", they should go to...

Milage or percentage have nothing to do with whether a short load is profitable or not. Just depends on whether it is "enough". I run both, so I see pros and cons to both. Just depends on what the paid per mile is, or what the percentage amount is based on. Davekc owner 23 years...
