RE: FedEx Representatives Address Open Forum Topic This thread should be condensed in with the "Toot your own horn" thread. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

RE: FedEx Representatives Address Open Forum Topic Anything new for Panther drivers is available on the drivers web page. There would be little value to repeat the same information doing a interview. As something new comes along that might be of interest to all, it is reported here on EO...

$185,000 for a Columbia is pretty questionable. I wonder what one is worth after a couple years of running? Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I have to admit, the thread did get alittle off track, but does certainly have some humor. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Good point Broom. Whether it is your kids and or relatives, they will remember you for the time you spent with them, verses whether you made a certain amount of money. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Yep...we have done pretty well. But to be fair, it wasn't from the earnings of just one truck. It has been from a variety of sources including a previous career that I retired early from. That being said, expediting has been very good for us. Your right, this thread was repeated once. Apparently...

Yep....we bought our first FL70 from him in Ohio. He could put some trucks together back in the day. It was still weird having a Freightliner of Knoxville in Ohio. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

On 20 years assuming a 8 percent return, one would have to save somewhere around 1600 every month. That is a estimate and not a exact number through the calculator. That isn't accounting for inflation, taxes, and certain types of investments. Just based on a straight 8 percent return. It would...

Come on guys...... let's look at the questions and not the essay. I think for a newbie, some answers would be helpful =========================================== You are correct. I just read the first paragraph. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

(probably less than 150 words) one paragraph Not sure who the Ateam is trying to convince of millions? Anyone can make a million in 20 years. Including working at Wal-mart or Amway. It depends on alot of factors that are unknown. Who knows what or where anything will be 20 years from now...

Bruchar, I do believe you have it right. I will say, that Phil's current post does have alot more value to someone new, rather than constant links to the same old thing that most are tired of. Not that many new people are looking for a truck in that price range. When building a specialty truck...

For some reason Ateam you feeled compelled to display this link on a continous basis short of your one month self imposed departure. Several times today alone. You should also include a link on what NOT to do as that would be if not more beneficial. It is certainly a place you would have a...

That is alot of DHing. It amazes me how some do so much of it. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

There would be little to say if they have already left. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Good post. It is a topic that is seldom ever thought about within the realms of trucking/expediting. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Interesting observation. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

There are parts of Mexico that aren't that bad if you know where to go. Alot of them are the tourists traps. Not likely to encounter a problem there as too many tourist dollars are needed to support these areas. We go just about every year and never have had a problem. That being said, I would...

Our prayers as well are with the Rice's, and hopes for a speedy recovery. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

My only hope is that their drivers can read a sign that says "STOP" or "ROAD CLOSED AHEAD" Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

For two years they have been able to operate within 50 miles of the border, not running in all 48 states. In otherwords, you haven't to this point seen a Mexican carrier on the Ohio turnpike. That is what would be new. There has always been a handful in other areas, but I would well imagine they...
