Very good advice. We did the majority of ours last month around the fourth. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Hedgehog, I can't agree with you. Rich has served many years and contributed countless hours to help folks into expediting. He was recently presented with an award for his efforts at the expo. I don't believe your in a position to comment without knowing all the facts. The Ateam has been...

It probably depends on the division. We have hauled loads for both of them in a Panther truck. Likely the same the other way, I am sure Landstar and maybe Fedex for example has hauled a Panther load. Just the nature of the business. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

You should have some luck out of Nashville. Good luck and let us know how you are doing. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

If that is accurate, they should be ashamed to even put that on the table with the current fuel prices. It would be interesting to see how they justify only paying 58 percent of the FSC. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Ummmm????/who could it be? I removed the thread after several mods reviewed it. Specifically for the reasons Tony and Dreamer just mentioned above. Simple as that. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

In addition to refusing them, they are likely laughing and wondering why a straight truck would be doing van loads at a reduced rate, or placing bets if someone would be foolish enough to run them. Obviously cheap entertainment for the van drivers. Think about what you are doing. "Businessman...

I would continue to read and gather information. Your list of questions is too varied to give complete information. This is because many items are different between companies. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Why? anything offered below your load rate is not a refusal, and you don't lose your board position. What are you thinking? If you are complaining, it appears to be of your own choices. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Since they aren't a branded name I would see little advantage. It would be a better move to obtain your own authority and go down that path. If you want it non-asset based, then just become a broker or agent. Franchises for those are at Nations and I believe Landstar. Davekc owner 22...

A set up is relatively inexpensive. We have a relative that has a camera in several rooms. They are essentially called a nanny cam. If you want close ups, just change the lens. They have waterproof ones as well for outside use. They can be ran on any computer or a vcr type set up. Davekc...

Thanks...hate to see anyone get trapped in an area that they can't get out of. Some of those areas are tough for the smaller carriers. Hope they have better luck once they get up to Nashville. It is a pretty decent freight area and alittle closer to the major freight lanes. Davekc owner 22...

It was a pleasure talking to you, and glad I could help. Have a safe trip to Nashville Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I sent my number to you. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

There is alot of freight out of Houston. If it is one of the bigger carriers, I would be patient. If you got there yesterday at two, the afternoon loads were likely booked already. I would hang in there alittle bit. If it is a small carrier, you may have to DH out? You can PM me and I likely can...

I don't know the details of this plan but if you take a period of time, say 30 days, you should have your answer. Take the current FSC and spread it over the total miles for a month and then replace with your current numbers. Seems like alot of it will depend on how much DHing your doing. The...

Scott Many of us give you credit for coming on EO to field some of these questions whether good or bad. That is more than some companies are willing to do. Just my penny in the pond. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

That is a major hit in pay. Do you recover some of it through the deadhead that is paid after 50 verses after 100. Sounds the same way Conway started the flat FSC prior to their sale. It kinda sounds like forced repositioning for coverage. What I mean is, say you are in northern CA and they tell...

If the carrier pays the tolls, the contractor can't then claim it as a deduction. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator
