Can you imagine a site in the US like that? Maybe 20 years ago. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

With regards to the roof satelite systems, the recommendation on the camping world ones is good on the mounted crank-up types. KVH makes one that we purchased with a high powered VHF/UHF antenna. Works well and has a automatic satelite finder. Sets up in a couple of minutes and your ready to go...

You may or may not like my answer. Your owner is incompetent and a total bs'er if your facts are correct.. I don't care if he is an owner with Panther or the millionaires driver club. He has no control over any percentages or demands from Panther. Two percent for what? He is ripping you now at...

RE: I'm qualified Tristate,with no owner to drive If you are wanting to continue with Tri-state I would search EO classifieds in addition to calling Tri-State's recruiting dept. If your credit is shot, you will encounter problems. You may find financing but it will be at high rates. Maybe...

I as well thought it was a great idea except for the fact I didn't think of it. My wife came up with it when the laundry bag started to look as big as I did. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

You could tell on the fuel if you constantly monitor the usage. I have no ambition to follow someones fuel usage to ensure they are using it properly. I agree on the generator theory. For us, I put one on every truck. I think both parties benefit with having them. One thing that has worked for...

We also used a small fold up luggage cart to take the clothes into where we were getting them washed. We could get a ton of clothes, sheets and blankets on that thing in one trip. Also comes in handy when you are staying at a hotel as well, and have to carry things a mile to a room...

Looks like you are off to a great start! Ok, let me get my helmet on. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Glad you are up and running. Short of a couple of days after Memorial day, we have been busy since the first of the year. Keep our fingers crossed that it continues. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

I have weighed in on this before and still think pretty much the same thing. If a employee rather than a independent contractor is involved, the company/owner should pay the fuel. As to which is better? It depends on the company (how much DH), fuel surcharge, truck age and MPG, and whether it...

Terry, You forgot to mention your lunch.:7 Couldn't resist Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Since we have done both and continue to book some of our own freight, the numerous reasons that all described are the reasons I really don't recommend it. It is costly and very labor intensive. But for the few that can overcome those obstacles, there is certainly some money in it. For me...

The dealer should be able to tell you where they are to be set. As for the milage, I think it varies from state to state. You usually have to sign something on the title as to whether it is altered or has been changed. Or something to the effect that it doesn't reflect the actual milage...

I think it offers protection for both as well as defines expectations. Two of the best people may have very different expectations as to their relationship. Hometime and how often would be the first one that comes to mind. But, there are many others. From a owners perspective, I wouldn't buy a...

I think that someone that drives professionally can be home every weekend. But, not in expediting. They are two different animals. It would be safe to assume that people are talking about expediting specifically, rather than all sectors of trucking. If you came into expediting with the thought...

You are correct. It is insurance and it will cover items you may not have thought of. Just issues on liability are very complex and vary from state to state. A good transportation attorney in your home state can do this for a very reasonable fee. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO...

The next wave of uneducated, unskilled, etc., etc., will be the Mexican drivers, who are willing to work harder and cheaper than us American citizens, for whatever economic or social reasons. ============================================== That is closer than you think. And, they love to go to...
