Haven't heard or had that happen with our trucks. Your pings should show that, which are available on the internet. Every time it pings you, it is posted. Up in that area, they usually do enough loads, I wouldn't really worry about board position. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO...

Not moving acrossed the parking lot, but it can happen moving to another exit. It is based on a 50 mile radius. If you drive out of that, you fell off of that board nless your the only truck. Not a bad trade off. Dayton is a great board. We loaded out of there today for SC. Davekc owner...

Outside grilling! Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

For a solo it is difficult because of the HOS. With teams it is a much different story. We have teams that have easily out earned owner operators at other carriers. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

We usually get out of AZ without too much problem. On the Florida stuff, if you can only haul 5,000lbs. that certainly is an issue. Even more reason to head north. Forget about Orlando with that restiction. Head north where the loads are lighter. LTL loads out of Florida are generally heavier...

Terry and I had a chance to talk with one of the VP's of a large moving company/carrier at the last eo workshop. They have an interest in the expanding of thier "blanket wrap" freight, but that is essentially it. Don't think you will see them pulling into typical expedite manufacturing...

This program has been available and promoted at Panther for quite some time. They have numerous carriers involved in their program. I should add, that I have not used them as they really aren't suited to our other projects that we are involved in. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO...

I believe it was moved to the Newbies Faq area. Basically because it was a good thread with some valuable information. It don't believe it was locked for any other reason. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

They may gain alittle in computers or expand on the trade show circuit, but that is about it. They can't provide the service for less than most are doing it now. No real threat that I see. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

RE: how to get more mls when log alouds?own autho If your a solo at Panther, your only hope of a 1000 mile load is one that picks up Friday and delivers Sunday or Monday depending on times. You must have a break in there. 1000 miles per day for a single isn't going to happen. If you have your...

Hey Steve, Congrats on the cutie! Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I agree, some like to add controversy where it really isn't needed. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Ateam wrote That is routine language for a company that has nothing extraordinary going on. But the above incident is extraordinary. If the public offering proceeds, the registration statement will be updated and the Legal Proceedings language will likely be changed to reflect the liability or...

I think we are coming to the point that QC information in a audit, will be sufficient. Especially if another government agency (FMSCA) endorses its reliability on logs. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Panther keeps track of that for you on your fuel tax statements. Call in the morning and they likely can email it to you. It has gallons used, milage for each state etc. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Maybe not identical, but pretty close. Panther's new dispatch operates on teams now. Team A, team B, and so forth. I am familar with the CAT teams as they had them when I was there. As with the Fedex system, Panther has a relations person on duty 24/7 as well. I only questioned the earlier post...

Wingnut I would reread Jim's post. I believe he was referring to the carrier rather than the driver. Every carrier wants programs that help with driver retention. I believe that has to be weighed with the program and cost in mind. As for Panther, it is a system that stills works. Just alittle...

They essentially have went to Panther's system. They eliminated their whole contractor relations department. The old system was better, but is more expensive to the carrier. I wouldn't say their is anything that is an advantage to the driver. If a problem arises, you will likely find yourself...
