    Panther Expediting

    Yes, exactly. You will not get access to the loads in Panther's database in order to be able to pick and choose. All you can do is accept or reject a load offer when the phone rings and the QC beeps. As Moot said, you can find your own loads, but they must be OK'd by Panther and be booked...

    Leased on with multiple carriers

    While keeping a couple of mirrors for themselves, since in the end the only party who truly benefits from such an arrangement is the shipper.

    T&K

    Running the numbers up in order to get around the Code of Conduct won't get you around the Code of Conduct, however. For example, the three posts he's had removed and the one above whining about it don't count towards his current 6 posts. And yes, he was told about it, and since he read the...

    Leased on with multiple carriers

    That's the theory, and it's what is behind the myth of being leased on to multiple carriers means having less down time. It's the exception to the rule, because the overwhelming number of carriers who allow multiple leases are all bidding on the same freight in the same manner, and do not have a...

    Deep Cycle Batteries???

    First place I'd call is WorldWide Battery Warehouse 2287 Grand Commerce Drive Suite A Howell, Michigan 48855 Telephone: 517-376-5170 Because they're a Trojan Master Distributor. After that there's Battery Wholesale in Monroe, and a bunch of Batteries Plus stores. There's a dealer locater...

    Fedex?

    Sloshing nitroglycerin, Rembrandt paintings, sea turtle eggs, and NASA satellite parts. All very delicate.

    I had a response to, "Can you link to the examples that you have given?", but I decided not to post it because it was a little on the snotty side and I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt. I see that based on the above snotty response, I should have just gone ahead and posted it. So here...

    Sprinter Owners

    That's the problem with getting oil changes done at a dealer, especially for MY06 and earlier where "MB approved" oil is easy to get at auto parts stores. They aren't screwing you over, that's the actual price. Dealer pricing for oil (Mobile 1 0W-40) is list price at $13.22 a quart. The oil...

    White Americans For Santorum or Romney or Paul....

    No, there's lots of others. The "G*d D*amn America sermon" got him on the news, but it's one of the more calm, cool and collected of his sermons actually. He rails on how everything in America is designed to give the black man a disadvantage and keep him down. His foundation and his moral...

    Thompson Reuters News: Panther Expedited Services is for sale

    The $1000 was the incentive to stay on with Panther after the buyout. I can't remember but it may have been more than $1000 for straights and tractors. They also paid you $100 if you removed your old lettering, which I did.

    Seriously? Where have you been hiding for the last four years? Reverend Jeremiah Wright is famous for his anti-American and blatantly, unashamed, racist rants (some people call them sermons, though). Of course, guilt by association is a nasty business, and that's what people want to do with...

    Years in the business

    Transportation industry? Or Expediting industry? I would think it makes a difference, considering the name of the Hall of Fame. For me, 9. I just wonder what the average age of an expediter is, and the average length of service in expediting, considering the rather large percentage of...

    Michigan Primary

    Those who vote, and those who do not vote, all have an equal right to complain, as all have participated equally in the process. Some people think that if you vote, then you've participated, and therefor have the right to complain, while those who haven't voted do not have the right. They also...

    Panther is a scam.

    Considering Panther's rules about dispatchers (and any office management or staff) owning trucks, that's a pretty serious charge. Serious enough that you'll need to provide proof.

    Deep Cycle Batteries???

    I don't think you do understand. Look at the graphic again. The two unattached wires are the positive and negative leads of the 12-volt output of what is NOW a SINGLE 12-volt battery. The two 6-volt batteries no longer exist insofar as charging and discharging is concerned. Once that "green"...

    Panther is a scam.

    I should note that one time I was sent a load offer to the QC, and they did not call me. My status was Out of Truck on Pager, and I was, actually, out of the truck. I never got the call, and never knew about the load offer. When I failed to respond after 10 minutes, I was placed OOS. An hour...

    Deep Cycle Batteries???

    When you connect two 6-volt batteries together, negative terminal of one to the positive terminal of the other (series), you instantly, and I do mean instantly, have one great big 6-cell, 12-volt battery, exactly the same as the one you've got now, except you've got an extra wall between three...
