    Lease Purchase Contract Woes

    Taz.. Excellent post with accurate information. We have a attorney facilitate all of our transactions. We just sold a DR unit and it went very smooth and was a comfort for the buyer that he had direct contact with a bank in FL as well as our attorney. It was a clear title but he needed financing...

    Good Advise for All!

    The easier and safer solution is not to haul it. Only on a rare occassion do we bother with it. Regardless of the carrier, rates are no where near enough to justify the liability of these loads. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    panther dead zones

    I as well got a chance to see this new system at a fleet meeting in Seville. Once it comes out, it should take care of directions assuming the correct info is typed in correctly. It was based on PC miler. Not sure on the current system since we don't use it. Until then, we use are own mapping...

    Engines and transmissions

    We like the Sterlings but opted for the C9 Cat. If you don't like how it is shifting, you can go to a Allison dealer and have them check the programming. There are some parameters that they can adjust. Must be done by them so you don't void your warranty. We had a M2 reprogrammed and it made a...

    Lease Purchase Contract Woes

    Lease purchases are a bad deal. I have never seen one of these go to term. If someone is lease purchasing a vehicle to a driver, it is because of the following, 1. They want to steal you blind either through the truck payment or excessive interest 2. They are upside down in the loan and can't...

    panther dead zones

    Cherri, You are too kind. With regards to the GPS, we have a new QC in one of our trucks that will be GPS equipped eventually. Qual-comm apparently had a problem with the software for this application. Once that is corrected, your QC will have all the information and on screen picture and info...

    Lease Purchase Contract Woes

    Based on what you are saying, the bank owns the truck rather than the owner in which you are dealing. I would set up a meeting with the bank officer or president and the owner to get everyone on the same page. If the owner refuses this type of arrangement then I would become suspicious. A call...

    need input on truck purchase

    Gotta go with the others. We bought two this year and have been real happy. We bought our first class 8 Sterling this year and it has been great. If you want a sale without any bs attached to it, this is one place I would recommend. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    CBS Plans Dan Rather Tribute, you going to watch?

    RE: CBS Plans Dan Rather Tribute, you going to wat Dan Rather is essentially a liberal liar than has been exposed. I would see little reason to watch. Katie Couric isn't that bad if the volume is off. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    Evolution or Revolution

    RE: Your Competitors RE: Evolution or Revolution As far as I'm concerned, any company is up for grabs. That includes Panther or Fedex. CC situation isn't far off from the Conway circumstances. Panther would be an attractive buy for UPS or DHL. Bottom line as Gregg said, "don't put all your...

    Evolution or Revolution

    RE: Your Competitors RE: Evolution or Revolution In most respects you are correct. All of the larger contracts are essentially covered by the larger companies. The loads they can't cover or they deem unprofitable is what they throw out on their boards. Some are decent, and some aren't. Short of...

    Evolution or Revolution

    RE: Your Competitors RE: Evolution or Revolution I have watched and seen how individuals publicly boast about the revenue stream that they constantly earn. Well,while some of these individuals believe that the vast majority of us are 5th grade Neanderthals that are not capable of thinking,they...

    We've been both places and currently Panther is the best fit for us. One just has to find what is the best carrier or opportunity for them. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    Used Truck Parts

    That door was used on numerous years for the business class. I wouldn't think there would be any difference. Maybe a google search on truck salvage yards will turn something up. Some of it might depend on the part of the country you are in. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator
