    Great workout inside the truck

    And then sometimes it is "if the shoe fits" We just may put Hot Spring Portable Spas in our trucks, and we are going to "boast about it" Wait a minute.....if I put something in my truck it is not "boasting"? According to the Ateam. What happens if I charge other drivers for spa usage? Maybe...

    Changing Oil Change Practices

    I'm still waiting to see the help wanted ad that states "nn years of research required" instead of "nn years of experience required". ======================================================= Nice quote! I like it. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    Hooking up an inverter

    Kinda like car batteries. Connect the red to red first, and then the black to black.That should eliminate the spark storm. Make sure inverter is off when doing this. You likely connected the black to black first. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    Entering the Business #2

    I think alot of your question depends on what part of the country one lives. For many, $50,000 isn't enough while some would think $30,000 is a great job or opportunity. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    Need advice on overhaul

    Dyno and your oil samples should tell you where you are at. If you at some point do go the rebuild route, a CAT dealer would be the only consideration. Basically because of the warranty, national coverage, and most charge by the specific job rather than by the hour. The latter can make a huge...

    Years in the Trucking Business

    I totally agree. Some of the best ideas come from the new folks. No one has a lock on a great idea. I think most get annoyed from the new individual that may portray themselves as experts in this industry, when they really aren't. I believe that is what most take an issue with. Especially...

    Insurance

    You are correct. Greatwest is who Panther uses. We actually had to use their claim dept this year as a SuperService truck backed into one of ours. Easy to deal with and handled the entire claim without a bunch of games. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    Someone has some cahones!

    If the Clintons can have a tax free defense fund, I see no reason why we can't have a tax free expediter truck fund. We will start washing it up now.:7 Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    Insurance

    Many commercial places sell it. OOIDA sells a seperate policy as well, or they use to. Good advice from Broom and Teamcaffee as well. We used our homeowners policy as well when we drove. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    GIVE UP

    I did not leave the truck as you claim! I knew where it was, had the keys to it, even told him where it was. =================================================== So what. If you fail to return his vehicle per your contract, then it is legally abandoned. It doesn't matter whether you have the...

    GIVE UP

    Are you sure you haven't had a few too many cold ones? Your quote in this thread. forced an o/o to come to my house and pick up his truck instead of returning it to him. He had not paid me, refused to pay me and thus the problem began to get worse and worse as the days proceeded...

    GIVE UP

    But, for you people to sit by and take this nonsense and corrupt business practices, lieing, cheating, etc from these carriers is appauling. Then for you to get on here and accuse me of being the bad guy is even more disturbing ========================================================== I don't...

    looking for expedite work in atlanta

    I would go with the others advice or look at Eagle, Velocity or maybe UPS. Primarily because you lack a DOT sleeper which is a requirement for many carriers. Last options are to look at air freight/ forwarders around the airport as they may be an option. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO...
