    Fuel Surcharge Discrepancies

    Why is the f.s.c. estimated? Are the total miles estimated? Is the gross pay for the load estimated? Is the customer's bill estimated? ========================================= Alot of components may be estimated at the time they are booking the load. Biggest reason is they may not know who is...

    Thinking about leasing to Panther D/Str.Class7

    I think it is possible, but not what I would say in reflective of a company average. As a fleet, our smallest straight did $160,000 on 252 days available service. Keep in mind that they didn't have a run all 252 days. I think to get to that number, numerous things have to happen. One of the...

    Home Time Didn't Work - DH 2200 miles UT to NC

    I would agree with Randy in that the focus should be on the fact that they actually have a program. I don't believe anyone else currently does. There is my penny in the pond. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    Fuel Surcharge Discrepancies

    Same issue with the same results. Couple of times a year this comes up and yes it should be corrected in my opinion. On the other side, like the rest of you, alot of others pay higher than what was quoted. Unless the pendulum swings the other way, I am not one to say too much. My bottom line...

    What's the greatest guitar solo of all time?

    He did some great stuff with Triumph. Yes Highway star has to be a great one. I would have to say that Satriani and Eddy Van Halen are in the top ten somewhere? Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    Onboard showers

    We used ours and liked it. We have had several and have had very good luck with them. Not sure I would personally run a truck without one. Let me rephrase that, I am not sure the wife would consider a truck without one.:7 Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    tri-state rate per mile

    I was only referring to their ads here at EO. I haven't looked at anything on their website. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    What's the greatest guitar solo of all time?

    I think Malmsteen is a student of Blackmore. The 16th century stuff with his wife is much different than his days with Deep Purple or Rainbow. My personal favs are with Gillan in purple, or Dio with Rainbow. Probably should add, if you like Malmsteen and Blackmore, his son isn't half bad either...

    Alumi-Bunk Sleeper Questions.

    Those inverters are pretty neat with that feature. I don't believe they use them in the AB. Might be an option they want to make available though. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    Home Time Didn't Work - DH 2200 miles UT to NC

    I think some just want to stir the pot. Your right, you are not an attorney, and your information is not accurate. They are not employees. Review of independent contractor laws and contracts will provide you a much clearer picture. Providing a designated period of available time doesn't...

    What's the greatest guitar solo of all time?

    Malsteen is pretty good, but I am from the old school. Most popular would have to go to Jimmy with "Stairway to Heaven", and second to Ritchie with "Smoke on the Water". The best though are either Blackmore's "Stargazer" or "Gates of Babylon" Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    international class 8 truck

    I would say the 8 to 9000 series are class 8's if that is what you are looking at. You could call a few other dealers with that setup and see how they would classify it. Might be a class 7 with a class 8 drivetrain? Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    tri-state rate per mile

    They were advertising $1.20 per mile. I agree with the other post of calling to verify as I don't see their rates listed anymore. Maybe they did reduce them? Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    Alumi-Bunk Sleeper Questions.

    Jim is correct. It won't charge your batteries. But it will keep select electrical items from draining your batteries. In the winter you could use their electrical box as well to plug in the engine block heater. Then the idle air would supply the heat/air, phone, and cable service. It may vary...

    Anyone getting out of the far west?

    Your options might be a little limited. The sure bet is probably LA. Another thought is to PM EO member Jack Dixon and maybe he could give you some Fedex west coast tips. I believe he runs out there regularly. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    extra work

    You may want to mention where in LR you are at. I am assuming the Petro? Also, is your EO screen name your cb handle? Just thought you may want to put as much info out so folks can find you. I will tell my trucks to be on the lookout if passing through on the weekend. Davekc owner 22...
