RE: TRUCK DRIVERS WANTED FOR A NEW TELEVISION SHOW I quess I am somewhat of a skeptic on this sort of thing. Most of these shows are themed on shock and controversy. Understandably so as those ingredients equal ratings, with in turn equal advertising dollars. Again, unless this show is for...

I will throw in my two cents. We have had good look with ours. And, Ray @ Espar is top notch. Fantastic service and gets a repair right on the first crack. I ran a post awhle back to see if anyone was running a Cat engine in these? We have one with the newer Perkins engine. Davekc owner...

RE: fedex cc owners or drivers need a question ans Not sure on tractors as I don't follow them that close. As for straights, I would have to disagree. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Steve True. But as far as expediting, you are not probably the norm. Most go to the 5 years as an average, so that is what I based an example on. But I see you point. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

didn't want this post to get into if I should spend 170k BUT IF I DID (OR YOU DID) what would you get?!?!!?!? ##### don't need to bash a post just because you don't agree with it... ===================================================== I don't think anyone is bashing you, But since you asked...

Drive for an owner and then if you really want to take the plunge, then do it. With your own saved money. Alot of these other plans go south if the cards don't fall just right. As in any business..........minumize the risks, not increase them. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

RE: fedex cc owners or drivers need a question ans I would agree with Rich. That is paramount that she is qualified as a team driver. I would also inquire with other drivers about your 48 percent deadhead. That sounds excessively high. Maybe some could help you out once they review your runs...

Don't be a stranger and ask any questions you may have. You have a great source from Bob and Linda for information. Good luck on your new adventure and welcome to EO. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I have to agree with DD. Your dimensions sure look over 40 feet. My thought is why spend 170k on a truck and job that can be done for much less? That isn't good business sense. Payments on that vehicle with just 10 percent interest will be huge unless you have alot down. As mentioned, for that...

RE: TRUCK DRIVERS WANTED FOR A NEW TELEVISION SHOW I would agree. I don't think we need someone trying to portray our industry in a negative light. I feel these people know very little about the people in the expedite industry. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

RE: Is Everyone sick of people tooting their own h Sometimes it is not the message, but how it is delivered. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

hmmmmmm......wonder if I can buy a straight truck at a steal from the government drug sales!!!!! ============================================= It certainly wouldn't be the first time. For future idiots going down this path for a quick buck, please order a new red truck. I like red.:7...

RE: Hows the the new FedEx CC FSC program working It is funny Phil that you are the only one I have seen that endorses this new FSC program. Likely reason you aren't making friends. Much harder to bs the masses on this kind of item. The posts speak for themselves......including ones of your...

Thanks Cherri..........you are too kind. Stuck with my spelling:7 Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Crow is one of the better ones. There doesn't seem like there is any middle ground with other Carrier dealers. They are either real top notch, or far below expectations. That has been our experience over the years Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

OOIDA won't be asking for any kind of strike. It is illegal for them to call for a trucking strike. If at any point it becomes a national issue with regards to security or the economy, OOIDA would be in violation of a whole host of federal laws. A boycott of something is much different than an...

I don't have any maps showing Iowa interstate 80 as a toll road. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Yes, Why is it that so many seem to think that adding a lift gate and a reefer unit will automatically coat the exterior and interior of a truck with 100 dollar bills?. ====================================== I really think it is the same source many times over. That small few just feel a need...

No. That is a rumor. Leo's post above is likely closer to future plans. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Are you talking about Landstar? Most of that info is available at www.ooida.com The only other one is a rumor on Fedex CC. Last I heard it hasn't been filed yet. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator
