I didn't want to point out that a load might be unprofitable or profitable. You can paint it any color you like, but the reality is if that load paid $2,000 a month ago and now pays $1500, you are getting hosed if they are keeping a percentage of the fuel surcharge as they indicate. It doesn't...

Your right. That is the first 5000 word essay I have seen on Wally world here on EO. Glad you finally got it fixed without mentioning the weather.:7 Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I do agree on the folks not bathing. If you can't find a few bucks to take a shower, go home. You aren't making enough to be out driving. And for the people that have never heard of a tooth brush, same thing. A tube of toothpaste and a tooth brush will set you back roughly two dallars if...

I have a couple of different things that I look at with regards to FSC. Many have made excellent comments and have reiterated the fact that it is designed to cover the fuel costs beyond a benchmark price. I do agree with that, but only to a point. Cost of operating has increased with stagnant...

RE: Need a qustion answered should go under Trucks You are correct. It is likely an alternator and or batteries. I would have them do a load test and that should identify the problem. It will also detect a bad relay, short or bad ground somewhere. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Dave That is a supplement. It is not a health insurance policy. They also provide a disclaimer stating that it isn't health insurance. That is to be used in addition to a regular health policy. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

In the 9's is very doable once it is broke in and you keep your foot out of it. Running it hard our team says it drops to 8 to 8.5 Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Make sure you really do your research before attempting this. You want someone who is very experienced in doing this. Alot of bad things can happen if this is done incorrectly. Not a place you would want to cut any kind of corners. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

RE: Hows the the new FedEx CC FSC program working 1.13 a mile for a hazmat load is more LTL freight rather than expedite. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Dave & Trish We are sorry to hear of your loss. She was truely loved and appreciated by everyone at Panther. Thanks for letting everyone know. There are many that likely have talked to her and not had the opportunity to meet her. Thanks again for sharing the information at a difficult time...

I think you will be quite happy with it as we are with ours. Our team really likes it. Did you get the Pro-heat? Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Why would you go to ND twice? Not the wisest of decisions. You would have been better off to go to Rockford or Chicago. Better yet, find your own load out of MN and keep yourself in the freight lanes. ND is not a freight lane as you have found out. Once is a favor in a week, the second time...

RE: FedEx National VS FXCC RE:work with fdcc Rich is correct, The impact of Watkins reefer trailers are coming. They likely will have them complete over the next several months. They are still in the process of redecaling them last I heard. You are right, as you are starting to slowly see them...

I would not settle on 200 per day. What you need is a subrogation attorney that should be provided from your insurance carrier. In most cases they will take your earnings going 30 days back. They will back out of course your fuel ect. From that, they will arrive at a daily average. If they...

We as well seen several in at the Memphis airport area as we were picking up relatives. One was actually a reefer that wasn't a CC truck. Apparently doing air shipments? They are still doing plenty of brokered shipments. What was interesting was the CC convention out in West Memphis, AR...

Over the years we have had numerous FL70's with all kinds of variations. Everything from a Detroit, CAT, and Cummins. Each engine has different issues but actual hours on the engine would be the bigger issue, rather than milage. In other words, how much idle time and does the truck have a...

Hard to tell exactly. I would have a repair shop pressure test the system. If it has a weakness it should show up. The only quess I would have assuming not hoses ect, would be a gasket leak either from the head or thermostat housing. Even though it was replaced, a second look at the water pump...

You need to move to Texas where you can just about do anything you want. You will find Body and fender shops right next to residences ============================================================== You are so correct. We use to have several properties there before we moved to FL. Around the...

RE: Hows the the new FedEx CC FSC program working From Fedex themselves http://www.fedex.com/us/investorrelations/stockinfo/ Their FSC program had a nice effect on shareholder earnings. I can't complain. I look at different charts but they essentially say the same thing. Davekc owner 22...
