Usually this kind of stuff is either a deep seated jealousy, or a secret admirer seeking ones attention. Either way it is a mental deficency. It is sad that someone can't find a more constructive use of their time. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Vango You are correct on alot of your observations. A single team on a single truck could do alot of the same things, but with some restrictions as you mentioned because of the time involved. But, if someone is sitting for days, then I would argue that they do have many options available to...

I see no reason someone should flame you. I applaud you for taking the time to do the necessary research to determine if it would be the right career move for you. It is a business that requires alot of considerations and investments that one shouldn't take lightly. It is refreshing as well...

Look at the bright side, there are quite a few companies that don't pay anything. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

You know more about Dynamex than I do, but both Panther and Fedex do a fair amount of freight out of Minn/St.Paul area. Something to keep in mind if you are researching other companies. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

It is on your macro #8 The trucks that are listed as enroute. If it is a close call you may have to call to see their drop times. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I ask my wife and she said yes. Go figure? Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Here is my take. If you are home, you could book a advance LTL load right out of S.D. Same thing for Denver. If looking at just expedite, Lincoln or Omaha may be a option depending on whether there are trucks there. Iowa has some options depending on the time of year and how many trucks are...

DaveKc let ask you,If someone Is leased on with PantherII It says on there website a "D" gets paid $1.20 per mile.Is any load or loads they dispatch to you or anyone that pays more per mile I guess not they don't pay percentage right????? Tec1959 =============================================...

I guess the thought is that they are essentially penalized on ever load. As mentioned, I don't really dwell on it as its affect on what I am doing is minumal. I track freight movements but my drivers don't. Do they look for loads? Yes, but not all of the time. Is it every day? No Some months...

Nancy, I will give you my take on your other items. Not all trucks are authorized or can go to Canada. Are they penalized? Not in run selection, but rather their rate. Those units I believe run at a .10 cent per mile reduction on loaded miles. What is a cheap load depends on numerous...

Nancy, I will try to answer your questions as best I can. Some items are alittle difficult not knowing the very specifics of certain runs ect. I will go into alittle more detail than before because my responses were limited a few weeks ago because of the expo. With your experience as...

Same as KW except FL and TN as far as homes. I currently license equipment in TN just because it is cheaper. If you can provide a residence, I would say your good to go. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

As far as class 7 and 8's some of the 07's will have the 06 engines which can be bought now. The December date is when the engine manufactures must change over. Or....that is my understanding. So that mean you will be able to buy a 07 without the emissions components until they run out, since...

Almost like real estate. Location, location, location. We have several trucks that are extremely busy, but we had one currently that went in the tank. He went from Orlando to Nashville,Nashville to Detroit, Byran, Ohio to Dallas, and then to Tuscon. There is the week for this truck. Got to...

They are out there as we seen several at the MATTS show back in March. They had the DPF filter and the whole nine yards. Not sure what they are doing.......likely taking their chances. We opted for 06's to avoid the bs of the 07's/ Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

RE: Every company wants teams,what about a solo dr Ace's response is right on target. Additionally because of the HOS it makes a solo unprofitable for many operations. For me personally, our fleet is compromised of newer trucks and a solo operation just doesn't cover enough of the operating...

You got that right. A 100 percent science and we would all be rich. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator
