Interesting observation on vans verses the straights. Back in the Roberts days you really didn't see that as both groups were making decent money. With costs climbing and rates staying somewhat stagnant, it brings out the "us verses them" mentality. Or so it seems? Davekc owner 22...

I would ask for three current and three past drivers numbers. Based on the responses from six drivers, you should be able to make a educated decision. If the owner fails to provide the numbers, there is usually a reason. Then I would move onto another one. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII...

RE: panther II made the big time..history channel Awesome! Very cool. I will have to check it out. Thanks for the heads up. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Cozdream, Welcome to EO. You have been a member since May 20th of this year with a total of three posts. Sorry we don't live up to YOUR standards, but everyone does do a great job. Being here for a month with three negative posts hardly qualifies your comments with many. Over time, you will...

Glad someone could use the tip. Feel free to pass it on. There are likely many folks with your generator setup doing it the hard way. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

So when Hilary says "Trust me, I know whats best for you" I should? ======================================= Now why would you ever question Hillary? :7 o Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

RE: rattle. rap...and drip drip drip goes the wate A good source for 3126 engines is www.trucks.com They have used and rebuilds. If they don't have it, they would likely know where to find one quick. Huge place in Tampa and ship anywhere. Their number is 1-888-295-0588 Davekc owner 22...

RE: Class 7 Vs. Class 8 I think Gregg is right on the FL series, M2's, and probably the Hino's, which I know very little. Class 7's from KW, Pete, and Sterlings essentially all have class 8 parts. Both our KW's and Sterlings have the same doors, dash, electronics etc, are the same...

Our favorite has been to go out on our balcony and watch the launch at night. Truely spectacular as it lights up the whole ocean orange. And, that is looking from Flagler Beach which is a little distance from the Cape. It still is pretty awesome. Rich, if you like rock shrimp, stop and visit...

areas with less than 2 runs a day. Well, you sometimes get runs that take you to poor areas and D/H 300+ miles to a better board is not a good alternative to making money. O/O B unit Panther #11514 Since 03/06 ============================================ I see two issues. 2 runs a day over what...

Plenty of loads coming out of there. I would tell your carrier to look alittle harder. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I think a million miles on a class seven is quite common if maintained correctly. We have had quite a few over the years that have been high milage. Just this year we sold a reefer truck with almost 700,000, and a KW with just under 800,000. Both of these trucks had the original engines and...

I think you got it. Keep in mind that some carriers may not pay deadhead or empty moves. The cost to move in those cases would come out of your pocket if doing a 60/40 split. You would have to be doing very major deadheading to offset the difference. Again, do you want to make money, or have an...

RE: rattle. rap...and drip drip drip goes the wate Grog, No happy story, but it is a good reality of what can really happen. Those rose colored glass can become clear as day when faced with such an event. Sometimes negativity gets confused with reality. Kemper, It does sound like you cracked...

As Rich mentioned, I don't believe Fedex is holding to those requirements. Sounds like as long as it is safe and passes a DOT, it is good to go. With too few trucks, I don't see them changing that anytime soon. Same with alot of other carriers. With the price of the sevens getting around the...

My opinion would usually be a 60/40 with 100 percent of the fsc if one can handle the simple concepts of purchasing fuel. It might depend as well whether you are doing a percentage or milage run. Example, would be a base rate of $1.20 per mile and .20 cent FSC On a 60/40 rate, you would have...
