After that massive FSC cut earlier this year, I think it is nice that they gave something back. Not quite sure a room and $500 would do it for me. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Welcome back Jeff! Wow....we just talked today! Glad to have you back and continuing where we left off. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

What is left of medi-quick is now supply chain. Back in the day, most of their stuff was strictly route runs with expedite trucks. As mentioned, only once in a blue moon did Roberts do their runs. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I would be alittle patient with it. It will come around. Some of it may be where you are sitting. It takes alittle while to realize which customers have team freight, and the ones that don't. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

If you are trying to email someone, just type their name @ pantherexpedite.com That should get your message there. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

DaveKC you are a little different then the normal Panther owner as you actively look for freight for your trucks outside of Panther. I will clarify what I was trying to say. We often have loads as Jack says we pick up on Friday and deliver on Monday. We are also often pre dispatched on Sunday to...

Are you refering to those two trouble makers in the top photo?:7 Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I can't really think of a weekend we had a truck sit through the entire weekend in a long time. That might be a company specific issue. I quess that would be a good question. Did those opportunities leave when they started up their LTL business? Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO...

Sounds like a fuel pump or selonoid. Other thought is it is drawing air into the fuel system somewhere. Try and rebleed the system. If your tanks ever got too low, some air might be in the engine. Just a thought? Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

In addition to the truck sales adds, one can look at the team/driver ads in the EO classifieds. If things are slow at a given company, you tend to see owner ads show up in order to replace drivers that have left. If they are new trucks, it might be someone expanding, but a quick look isn't...

Seems like it would be a company/insurance issue. It looks like the biggest hurdle is you both have been off the TT for too long. One can't be a student of the other, but on the other hand, you already have the license. It does seem most want 6 months RECENT verifiable experience. Some take...

Customers call on a different line from the trucks. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Terry is correct. 70 percent of a gross figure could mean quite a few things. Just on a flat rate, 70 percent of a 1.05 rate is 73.5 cents That same number based on a 1.30 rate is .91 cents. Big difference. Same issues apply if the gross is calculated on a percentage of the load. That is what I...

I quess my first question would be, "70 percent of what?" That could make a large difference. References and how many miles a week would be my next considerations. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I you have the winning formulae, the return is there. If you don't, very little will change. I seriously doubt the majority of owner operators have the time and abilities that Dave and a few others have. The majority of drivers need a good carrier they can trust and it wouldn't hurt to be a team...

TJ does have a million dollar question. At what point do you change or endure a slow bleed? Hard question to answer sometimes. Does it require selling a vehicle, changing carriers or both? We are basically at the busier point in the year. If they (the carrier) isn't producing jobs now, they...

I agree that flexibility is the key for a carrier. The ones that understand that, are the ones that are the most successful over a period of time. I think many are seeing that now. From an owners prospective, too many are working FOR the carrier, rather than WITH the carrier. We don't really...

I agree that there will always be issues that are negative in nature. Detroit has had its problems for years, yet there are many profitable businesses in the state. Granted it is a shrinking number, but these people adapt. They are either moving out of state, or to a foriegn country. Existing...

Your right. I didn't check. It was a false report. But I do in general agree with the thoughts. Since it got forwarded to me I didn't really consider whether it was authored by him. Just agreed with most of the material. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator
