I hate to be critical, but what in the world did you think you were getting into?????? Apparently you didn't read anything here. I would wake up and start reading here, and then decide how far away you are from from Express 1 so you can park it. Based on your post, your expectations are way out...

I would agree with the others. Unless you are doing WG/Elite loads, skip the reefer. A big waste of money. Even the liftgate is somewhat questionable. If you get one, make sure it is the type that you can be locked onto the dock. Anything else wouldn't be worth the money because you might gain a...

After checking numerous places, no one really has a great explanation as to why they will on occassion lose their prime. Plenty of answers if it is continous, but nothing yet on a intermittent issue. Still investigating. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Billions wasted in Iraq? Ummm .....depends on what you are looking at. We haven't been attacked under W's watch........so how much have we saved? But those ##### Republicans wasting tax dollars and time on foolish democratic votes that don't matter, and spending a whole day listening to Nancy...

I have to agree as it was a great success. As Terry posts, these workshops are a fantastic way to really ask the hard questions as to whether it is right for someone. The gentleman Terry mentions is a perfect example. It is a great education of expediting before someone makes a huge financial...

Speeding is always a relative possibility when traveling through the communist state. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

We are not on the paperless, but had a truck today disappear for an hour. Might have been weather related? This happened during a unload in Detroit. Then again, maybe it was ice or condensation in the dome as they came up from SC where it was warm? Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO...

This thread is turning into a scary blog. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I am sure there is a van driver somewhere around Seville in the day time. Maybe they could run you over to the Akron/Canton airport. Should be able to find a one wayer rental there. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

If 4 first outs arrived, and you were 2nd out, you would have recieved a load offer if 6 loads went out Monday regardless. How are you still #5???? I would check that out. I think I am missing something? Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Terry did clean up pretty good. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

If you are going to trust a driver/team with a $100,000 truck, you had better feel comfortable with their judgement. My drivers don't need to call me. They make weather decisions on their own. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Who are you leased to? Or, who are you calling hourly for loads? Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Does make you wonder? If someone is driving for someone, they should at least have 3 to 6 months of living expenses saved up. Many don't, and bad things happen. Same when one buys a truck. Some give a totally blank look when told they should have $10,000 in reserves when buying a truck. I think...

You might want to consider a carrier that lets you find your own loads. You certainly wouldn't have that problem if you did. Just a 100 mile radius check of Charlotte shows several loads. Let them know on your next hourly call. Good luck Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

The 70's work for me as well. As for winter driving, use good common sense, and know your limitations. No load is worth a wreck. Remember YOU are driving the truck, not the customer or a dispatcher. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

You can go to your payroll history and click the link down at the bottom for Exel. Then you can do YTD or MTD etc. If not, you would have to add up the weeks total. So for this year so far, you would have 6 numbers to add if doing it manually. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

That area has become alittle more competitive because Freightliner is shipping alot less these days. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

If you are running for Fedex, I would call them as they may have a better place for you to sit. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Your right on the paperwork.......but I didn't say I would do it for free:7 Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator
