As of today it is just that....a rumor. No deals in the works. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

A reefer,tag and liftgate is alot of weight. At 260 hp I would wonder if that engine could take that kind of stress? Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I understand Leo's frustration on some of these items. When I looked at this whole thread there are alot of posts but only a handful are actually drivers that work for Panther and complaining. Those same members have posted numerous times. A relatively small number of drivers compaining verses a...

If as you state, that you are days ahead of schedule, call the team leader and tell them to manually turn it off. I would think that is a rarity as we have never had that happen. I mean in years that has never happened. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I don't think we will see the day that the members of MADD and the tree huggers will be together in the same room. It comes down to the county or the city in which you are located, and their need for revenue. That will take priority long before your personal comforts. Davekc owner 22...

Some take it personally but fail to realize that some of it is automated. Especially if you are running behind based on the company's speed and time setting to the destination. You may be thinking a 60 you may have plenty of time, but the computer is set for 45,47,50 or whatever. With regards...

There are some real good Freightliner dealers. The problem is, there is only a few. Like other owners, I hope they change some of the practices. Most in expediting, myself included, have little time for a bunch of games. Including but not limited to, waiting days for parts, charging outragous...

People always will have frustrations but sometimes it helps to sleep on it prior to posting. The people that come on and post once with a complaint, appear many times to have their priorities backwards. All too often we see people complaining rather than seeking a way to deal with or correct a...

How is your Hino with the new gear setup you talk about? Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

One Post Wonder aka Drive By Poster or drive by whiners in some cases. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Thanks Chet and George for the kind words. same situation that was mentioned, our current and past drivers are our best form of advertising if we need drivers. Chet We as well would hire you back in a minute, but the expedite solo situation with HOS doesn't work for either one of us. Of course...

At that hour I am surprised you didn't see Marion Barry Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Some of it depends on truck age and what is under warranty. We came to the conclusion that most have no parts. So we take ours to KW who usually gets the parts and doesn't charge outrages fees to ship something they don't have. I will say we have had our Sterling into a couple of shops for minor...

This affects alot of carriers using qc. Gregg is correct. You have a unit price and a cost per character on messages. That is a part that some overlook at times. With regards to Panther, they are installing a system that has more capabilities but I am not sure how that effects costs to them...

I should clarify. It was a figure of speech. What I was referring to is loads being hauled at low rates. I seen loads going out of Laredo TX last week for 40 and 50 cents per mile. Most of these were by smaller carriers or independant drivers with their own authority that I have never heard of...

I am sorry, but I have to disagree. Does Panther have a monopoly on freight? Not even close. Looking at any expedite load board will tell you that. You have a very limited exposure to the industry or you wouldn't have made that comment. Your implication that Panther is cheating and threatening...

I would agree with the colonel. There is a little more to it. As far as brokered loads, it depends on where you are looking. Some of the brokered loads pay well. Just have to know where to look. Also, sometimes you have to pick up two to get a real good rate. That at times pays better than...

RE: Where can I get an oil change in Jacksonville Right in that same area as well on the other side of the freeway (west side of 295 & Commonwealth) is the KW dealer. During the day, the service manager will give you a pretty decent price on oil change. His name is Joe. Davekc owner 22...
