Dave Post #12 and #13 were removed as #12 contained a derogatory comment towards several members. That is why it is alittle confusing. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

For whatever it is worth we had a truck there Monday as the #6 team and they got out the same day. I believe they are doing 8 to 9 loads a day out of there according to their load count Monday. Not sure if that helps you or not? If you are too deep in the pile, I would locate your own load or...

>We would have also jumped on both of those runs just for the >experience. Boy Dave you did have the ultimate with a >return load!! ==================================== They were great back in the day! Just the right place at the right time. Never has happened since... but you keep the...

I would agree that it is a science, but not really an art. Knowing specific areas, who and when customers ship expedite is really the key. Some customers may ship out five loads in a day, but it is all at the end of the month. The amount of emergency call ins is relatively marginal. Alot of...

That is the advantage of knowing that CPM. If you took a run for example that is marginal or you need cash flow, that may satisfy a immediate need, but that will catch up to you in time. The other side of that is that there are 30 days in a month, and you want to maximize those days as much as...

We have only dealt with them this year for warranty work. One of our teams lives there and it is close to their house. Only two services/repair there, so I would be cautious based on Rich's report. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I would agree with Leo. We look at each individual run, and its potential. That includes determining the Total CPM. As for finances, we have them reviewed on a quarterly basis. The biggest reason is some quarters perform differently than the others. It aids in budgeting expenses throughout the...

If it has to go to FL, the one in Palatine is the only one that we have dealt with. Good work, but don't be in a hurry. If that isn't a issue, there are several shops depending on where they are at. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I'll second that. What a great guy to meet and spend some time with. His wife is standing next to Linda in the dark shirt. Again, what a great couple If anyone was imagining anything, it had to be what a great breakfast that Express-1 put on. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I agree. We took numerous runs to certain locations because we wanted to go there, verses a revenue issue. I can't say I regret any of those runs. You have to have fun out there. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

You might be on to something, as I was looking through those rose colored glasses. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Now that you mention it, we all do look pretty darn good. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I would set your reserves to use your own fuel card. Doing a search on EO as there are several types out there. That way you save the one percent and don't have to fool with the advances. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

The Alaska trip which I have posted before, was our longest trip. It was a long engine part for Carnival Cruise lines. We took it from Miami to Anchorage. Waited a day, and took the damaged one back to Miami. It had fuel in part of it so it couldn't be flown. Davekc owner 22 years...

Jefferson3000 Very good advice to research all of the available options. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Now I've only been in the diesel business since 1958 and don't claim to have seen or heard of everything that has happened to a diesel engine but I have never heard of an "O" ring propeling itself through a cylinder. Maybe someone else on here has heard of it and if so I would love to hear about...

Thanks Jerry for the clarification. That will be useful to many members in their research. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Excellent link. You can't say enough to have pictures ect. in the event a insurance claim was to arise. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Your right. It can get easy to look at part of a picture, rather than ALL of it. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Sorry, but if someone contests or challenges someone on a post, I don't think that is personally attacking someone. I think you are confusing the two. It is a forum. If everyone agreed on everything, there would be little to talk about. If one puts confrontational posts out there, they likely...
