That is for your shore power. When you plug in it runs most of the items in your sleeper, except the truck heat and air. You are correct, the one under the drivers door is for the block heater. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I have to agree. It is not going to be 100 percent all the time because of all the parameters needed for it to work. I would be happy with a 50 percent success rate. But, at least they have a hometime program. We have used it, and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Davekc...

You guys are hilarious. All too often many get into expediting expecting a employer/employee relationship, and it is business to business relationship. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

We have had numerous Bentz sleepers over the years, and we have had pretty good service out of them. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Maybe I shouldn't have been as harsh, but your situation is a reoccurring theme on EO from someone new that didn't research properly. The good news is you are finding your way. Regardless of the carrier, dispatchers are sales people. With that in mind, "Trust but verify" Davekc owner 22...

I like your set up. I have always considered doing something simular with a areocell, but never did. Great setup. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Hey John, Glad you are doing well. I second the nice and refreshing post. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

In response to message #54 i signed a 1 year contract and i had 5 runs an average of 300 miles a run so i guess im doing ok =========================================== ???...........I can't even respond at this point. This has to be one of the strangest threads I have read in a while...

Steve, if a tractor runs 100,000 at 1.65 milage or higher, plus 20 percent FSC, they are at your numbers or higher. I think you have proved my point. I don't see a huge difference. Either one can be "right". It just depends on several other factors. As mentioned earlier, we do both, so I get a...

While no gaurantee, the only hope you have is finding an attorney that practices in the county in which the ticket was written. Anything else is a waste of money. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

What is the problem? She told you to head home. I would rather have that than some sugar coated bs about "maybe we will find you a load" People have to be alittle more self reliant and look at these areas PRIOR to going to them. Forget about hometime and all that other bs. Either figure out how...

I was tempted to put a simular article up, but thought it might be too long for some. Thanks Jack, that gives some alittle more insight. A condensed version is available on the Panther homepage. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

This has been discussed in other threads, but the edge certainly goes to the larger carriers when things slow down. Why? Because they have numerous inhouse accounts that they use that the small carriers have no access. Unless of course the bigger companies broker it out because of lack of...

Percentage of what? Milage or percentage means little. It depends on whether you turned a profit or not. I run on both systems and one doesn't win over the other. It depends on what it costs to do a run and what your profit is upon completion. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Broom, Your situation may be alittle more limited to your situation or maybe the smaller carriers? Not sure? We have been pretty busy. We are slightly behind last year, but by very small numbers. Most of it is from more out of service days than run and milage numbers. Davekc owner 22...

We don't run vans, but it isn't a load we would consider unless there is another load picking up out of that location. Remember, "Businessman first, driver second" Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I am always amazed when I read these kinds of posts. Like everyone else, I wouldn't have taken the load out west, and if so, took the load to Barstow. Alot more eastbound loads out of LA. Secondly, but not mentioned, is the "D" unit is a 16' reefer, that can only carry 5,000lbs. Correct me Pel...

I would say relax as well. I see no reason to complicate the simple. I've been both places and both have their advantages and disadvantages. As far as Panther's purchase of Integres, it provides alot of advantages from the logistical side. It brings another presence out west along with...

I would say there is likely alittle more to the story, whether it be distance to pickup, load to heavy or wouldn't fit the 16 footer ect. Why? Because if it went on a solo truck, they likely had to pay more out on that load because the solo wouldn't be able to run the whole thing. It likely got...
