In response to message #7 if ups is buying panther then why is fedrxcc doing ups loads ============================================================ Because all the Panther trucks are loaded Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I would also highly advise a review of the policies prior to enrollment. Not all policies are the same and coverage varies from company to company. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I have had no experience with Lake City. The one Jacksonville did was completed in a week and a half. Motor went another 225,000 at the time we sold it. It was still running well, but not sure how long it lasted after that? I don't think they are as good as a class 8 engine, but after owning 12...

It is a dry sleeve that can have sleeves put in depending on the block condition. Had one done by Ring Power Cat in Jacksonville, FL several years ago. You are correct in that a valve problem may trash the whole engine. Wise advice is to have a valve adjustment and inspection every year. Alot of...

Your mechanic is correct. The condition of the block would be the biggest issue. If that is in decent shape, you can have the engine pulled and sleeved. You loose alittle displacement but it is more economical verses a whole engine replacement. We have had very good luck with these engines. Two...

I think every company from time to time shoots out a low rate load offer. It doesn't mean you take it. Many times their are van loads or loads that come out that are in desolate areas. Some are accounts like LG that Fedex does for under 1.10 If it gets you moving out of a poor area, I don't see...

If one doesn't like how their carrier distributes loads, then they might want to consider obtaining their own authority and book your own loads. No need to complicate the simple. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

A search through the archives and regular forums should educate you on information from current and or former drivers. Good luck on your research. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

We have one that seems to lose it for no apparent reason every couple of months. Other than that, it must be primed in the process of changing the fuel filter. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Ok.......thanks for the great tip. I will call Espar and see what they think. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Sounds great. Do you have the electronic auto-start? Wasn't sure if that would have any effect on it. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Not a bad idea. I had never thought of that. I may have to try that on one. Any specific inline pump? Or will any do? Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Those rides are awesome. They had that one or one simular at MATTS. Also had a simular setup that was a Pete at their Bentz sleeper booth. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I agree with the above. After you learn and get a knack for their system, you can do very well. You pretty much get out what you put in. They are clearly the best fit for how we operate. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Here is my opinion for what it is worth. The Onan or the Power Tech have done the best for us, but those two ran a roof a/c unit. Rigmaster was second for cost verses performance. It has 6000 watts off the generator and is 20,000 btu on AC. The proheat we have cools at I believe 13,000 btu and...

Those rates are for new trucks. As mentioned, Paccar is 7.5 as of last month. Local bank will do 5.5 to 6.5 with 15 percent down and five year business history. I am sure that rate and other items will vary from institution to institution. SBA is at or near that rate as well if you can stand all...

Experience and a successful track record are the key. I am seeing current numbers in the 5.5 to 7.5 range. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

RE: Looking For The Best of the Best... My concept is to make as much as possible when awake so you have enough money to pay the wheel polisher while you sleep. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator
