    how upset would you get and what would you do

    If so, it is very poor management to identify that as the problem. Deciding who stays or goes based on how much or often they advance monies per load would be foolish. I would think if that was the motive, acceptance and or availibilty rates would be of greater value. From a distance, it still...

    > I was waiting for that Dave. Somebody had to say it. ========================================= Colonel said Wait a minnute Dave. Maybe we should state also the O/O should have enough resources to revolve the load. That may be in a struggling company's contract sooner than you think. Of...

    Obama annouces his running

    It is amazing how early all of this presidential election stuff is going on. Some of the candidates I know very little about. But right now, I am not really sold on any of them. Hillary and Obama? You have got to be kidding me. The scary part is that could be a reality. But, it is still a...

    how upset would you get and what would you do

    The money owed on a load is not really a loan if the load has been completed. The company may not have recieved their money for that load, but should have the capital to revolve the money. Even a single O/O can go to a factoring company and get money well below 5 percent. I have to...

    how upset would you get and what would you do

    I think they should have reviewed that much closer before putting it out there. But if they stated they didn't care what drivers or owners thought, I guess you do have their answer. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    Zmack.........even with a load every business day you would pay a couple of bucks. If you are running every single business day, a couple of bucks is pretty affordable. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    What is the QC charge? The SMS messages I have now are free? It should be mentioned that this is an optional program, and not mandatory. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    There may be a fee depending on your phone plan. It is free on mine. We have unlimited text messages. I would think others have simular plans. Others do have limits but you likely would have to be doing numerous runs daily to exceed the character numbers. Davekc owner 22 years...

    BroomPilot...Camera System Question.

    I would think with 18 cameras, one is either protecting something extremely valuable, or has alot of enemies? Then again, I guess it could be both. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    Back Office Support ???????

    We have never had a problem using the Ferry. Usually paint loads going to AL. I do like the idea and recommend the using of specific dispatchers for Canadian loads. That would include all shifts and weekends. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    hey

    They use to be at Panther, and I am sure you made better than 20,000 for a year, or he was cleaning your clock big time. 20,000 a year at Fedex still seems pretty low for a team. Something doesn't sound right. What in the world were you paying for? Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    I would imagine the escrow isn't fully funded. This must be for single trucks rather than fleets. We have never had ours held. I would do alittle investigating but that is the only thing I can think of. Additionally, fleets have more money in escrow, but from a legal standpoint, they have 15...

    Now I do see the problem as you have. As Rich mentioned, you might find a fleet owner for a straight or something that would put you in better shape. $1900 a month in a van payment will put you under. I am actually amazed you hung on as long as you did. A different scenerio and it might have...
