If you are happy, driving, and paying for it, who is to >complain ========================================= That statement is in relation to your truck. It would be safe to assume that it was purchased. Most would translate that in to "paying for it". If it was won at the table in Vegas, then I...

One great thing with Panther is that you can obtain your own loads. We wouldn't even consider a 1000 mile deadhead. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

My intent was clear. To correct your information that was inaccurate. You were singled out because you make that claim of being a expert and yet failed on a very basic piece of financial information. I will go with the other members, anyone can make a claim to be a financial planner among a host...

And the whole time I thought they brought yours to your room. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

We currently deal with several Landstar agents and they are really great. LDB drove for them and came back to Panther. He might be able to shed some light on his experiences. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I don't really see much of this as bashing. More of companies being ran differently. It is easy to get focused on small things and overlook the big picture. Panther is still in the middle of this transition, so I wouldn't expect them to pickup on the first ring a week or so after the Conway...

You are correct in your assumptions. Phil in earlier posts suggested that his "C" unit theory was based a past loads. I would think some of it was to get a large sleeper and stay within 40 feet. Those are really two issues, as the first has little value. The information that one would seek is...

My opinion would be the same as Leo's. If the company pays for it, then they likely could dictate a certain location. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Your level of experience would depend on the answer. If I assume none or limited, I would advise driving for a fleet owner for awhile to learn the business. Unless of course you just have a ton of money to burn. Then I would progress to buying your own truck. Running a fleet is different than...

It pretty much is a tough call depending on how many inches you are trying to recover. The three options I see are the following; 1. put taller tires on your truck if it has low pro's. 2. move the fuel tanks forwards or backwards depending on where they are located. Be careful to take into...

The three days I was refering to was to transfer a sleeper from one truck to the other. If you redo the inside, I quess the time would vary widely depending on what you are doing. In our case, there wasn't any inside work other than install a new boot for the opening. Davekc owner 22...

If you are talking Fedex, you can purchase a class 8 truck and keep it for ten years unless something has changed recently. I think the other carriers are simular in that regard. A decent used class 8 can be had for 55k. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

RE: looking to move my truck to smaller company ne classbcruizzer, I am always alittle suspicious of these types of posts. You have become a member for one day and the first post you put up is a complaining foolish one. I agree with Leo in that nothing in your post makes any sense. We have...

20 days sounds pretty long on a 10 to 12 hour job. ICT gave me quote last year and they said two days or possibly three if they had a problem. Price was 1500 or 1800. I can remember. That was also moving a generator as well. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Rich, Your post is spot on. It looks like you have all the bases covered. Very simular to how we are set up. Umm??? Maybe we should put financial planner under our names? Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

If I remember correctly they were talking as you mentioned, a increase in fuel economy of 10 percent. They mentioned a few other options about running it exclusively. It was on the news and I didn't catch all of the information. It seems like a interesting concept based on the reported tests so...

Be more descriptive. When you say "bottoming out" what part of the truck is hitting the pavement? Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

So far we haven't been sitting but I don't see a smooth oiled machine for several weeks yet. That is to be expected. At least this isn't going on in the busiest part of the year. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I sent your photos over to Dale so he should be able to put them up. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator
