    Landstar Bashing

    Stewart, I would revisit the ooida site and recheck your information. Landstar is not the only company that pays 100 percent of the fuel surcharge. Additionally, since you mentioned OOIDA, they are currently involved in a class action lawsuit against Landstar. It appears based on limited...

    I believe you have to call them within the thirty days. Not really sure on the pay. We never had ours held, but also haven't had our fleet down for 30 days either. Someone in contractor relations should be able to give exact information. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    Landstar Bashing

    Mike, When we have used them, they do have a board but it doesn't include much of the expedite freight. We have several agents that we call for that information. For us it depends on the region of the country we are looking. Their drivers have access all the time. What we have found is some...

    Conway Truckload

    Thanks for the clarification as I have heard about three versions of what was going on with that part. There was some tractors getting redecaled last week at Seville, but I am not sure how many. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    Redoing your own sleeper

    Sorry to hear that. That is a bad day to say the least. Hopefully your insurance coverage will take most of the pain out. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    Diesel shortage

    I think it would help the market as well if they eliminate all these different blends. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    transmission

    The seven speed manual most refer to as being troublesome are the Spicers. The six speeds are usually a Eaton if a manual. Based on posts over the years, I would have to say the Eaton is more reliable. Again, nothing scientific but reading others experiences. Davekc owner 22 years...

    Terry, You did bring up a interesting question. I would be curious as to anyone that has hauled their own freight while contracted to Fedex and what their experience has been with regards to rates and any limitations. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    Terry Panther is 85 percent on your booked loads regardless of vehicle size. Not sure on the others. Maybe Fosters or C&M? He will have to answer the others. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

    Landstar Bashing

    Let me ask a hypothetical. At the moment we're in Topeka, Kansas. Our home is Minnesota, near Minneapolis/Saint Paul. Say we wanted to get home under load, not instantly, but in as direct a fashon as possible. =============================================== Now that sounds scary Phil. You can...

    Enough with Panther Bashing...

    Sometimes the obvious gets overlooked, or an assumption is made on one post within a thread. There are 52 posts within this thread with three complaining. On another thread, two complained out of 13 posts. Additionally, of that number, not all currently drive for them. So, based on 65 posts...
