Update on Baytown, TX location. They took care of the bill and are sending a certificate for $100 on the next one. Additionally on straight trucks, their oil is billed at $2.25 per qt as of today for amounts exceeding 18 qts of oil. Base price is 99.00 Our 220 bill should have been $165. We...

Stay tuned, as I have a nasty report coming from one of their locations in Baytown, TX. Try 220.00 on a straight truck with a small CAT. The corporate office is returning my call tomarrow (l1/20) They even had the nerve to bill us for more oil than the truck holds. Stay tuned. Davekc...

Phil makes a good point. (I can't believe I just wrote that). The new driver council is just in its infancy and hasn't even had a meeting yet. I think it has to be given a chance to develop before we start questioning something that hasn't happened yet. I think these elected people who...

I think you have to look at the merit of the runs to determine what is feasible and what isn't. I don't believe I have ever been a advocate of taking every load offer. Gross monthly numbers don't have that much meaning unless you know what was spent to get there. Just as others have witnessed, I...

All of these concerns I believe are supply and demand issues that effect every company. Right now, the supply is higher than the demand, which is evident at truck stops and any load board that one looks at. I think Chris French is expressing his frustrations just like owners and drivers do. It...

You are correct, in that it depends on alot of factors including the carrier. For the quick fix, where is he now, and what carrier? Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Doc and Geo are correct. That is why I said in another post that OOIDA will not involve itself in a union of any kind. They are spot on as to the reason. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

On the flip side, if you prefer a general-purpose truck, and creature comforts are not important to you, try to find one run by an owner with his or her own authority who has contracts in place that can keep such trucks running at good rates...

Once you have your FL title, you will then need a IRP account that must be obtained in Talahassee. Can be done by mail, but it takes several weeks. Once that is set up, you will then recieve your plates. You can do a search on IRP in FL and it will give you a step by step process. If you title...

Hi Glad you guys are doing well. You have been MIA for awhile. Not sure on the Houseworths as Ed passed away. I have a team that use to drive for them 4 years ago. I believe all of their equipment was sold, but I don't know that for sure. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Humor at someone else's expense isn't humor, whether it's deserved or not. ================================== Oh....I don't know? I have laughed pretty hard at some of the late night jokes on Micheal Jackson and others. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Additionally, you were't comparing apples to apples. A 124" sleeper is considered a specialty configuration whereas a 132 is a stock size. Other stock sizes are 72,84,96,120 ect. When you deviate from those numbers, the price goes up. Biggest reason is many things have to be made just for that...

In response to message #5 I don`t understand why it took two years to build that truck? ========================================= Now there is a million dollar question. It takes a while to assemble all of those vendors from Wally World. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO...

Not sure on the tanks? If they are round aluminum tanks, they may hang too low? Battery box at the dealer (expensive) or at a truck salvage yard. Other option is to buy a aluminum side box, and mount them in there. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

If it is new, it is as good as anything out there. Very good quality. Simular to an ICT or Double Eagle. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Read back into the archives for this type of information. There are numerous scenerios based on the carrier and other factors. It will at least give you a starting point. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

RE: Cherry Picking? / Star Trek loads Based on your post, it appears you are giving load opportunities away on the premise that a few went bad. Depending on the carrier, that may not be the smartest move depending on several factors. That is just the nature of this business. Regardless of the...

RE: Watch when they claim they are Christian owner I would agree. I hate to see these stories about idiot owners. It gives the decent ones a bad name. Same issue with drivers. You first sign to run the other way is no contract when promised, and settlement statement. No truck maintenance would...

That actually looks like a flat bed tow truck. Nice concept as you can drop the wife and the house at Walmart, and then go fishing. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator
