I can't believe that someone would actually defend the carrier's blatant cash-grab profit center on the Qualcomms. $35 a week is roughly twice what a small carrier pays to Qualcomm for weekly fees. A large carrier, like Panther, pays considerably less than that. What I pay Panther per week is...

Stockmen's Truck Stop in South St Paul, MN, right off I-494 by the river, same exit at the KW dealer. Killer restaurant with the best streak & eggs ever. I think they still give you a free breakfast with a 50 gallon purchase. Great service, low prices, and at late night the clientèle is far more...

It's the pay you get for driving deadhead miles. At Panther, the first 100 miles is free, on your dime. Any deadhead miles over 100 is paid - for vans it's 25 cents a mile for all miles above 100. I recently deadheaded 260 miles to pick up a load, and 160 of those miles paid 25 cents a mile...

About 20 years ago I was sitting in the line at the drive-thru at a Wendy's after just ordering. Suddenly, a moth slammed into my left ear through the open window. First instinct was to jam a finger in there. Whoops. It would alternate between not moving at all, dead silence, and apparently...

Not sure, but I think it's tied to Panther more than it's tied to the account holder of the cell phone. The name, cell number and the last 4 digits of the SS are what kicks it in. You should see the "promotional discount" if you go to MyVerizon and look at your Plan Details. Also, you can...

For those of you who don't know, Verizon and Sprint both have carrier discounts for Panther Partners. Driver Web | Reference | Cell Phone Under the Sprint link there is a code that you need to give them at any Sprint retailer or Sprint Customer Service Representative. Under the Verizon link...

In-Depth EO discussion thread including the ooooohhs, aaaahhhhs, and close-but-no-cigars.

It's a natural pathway.

I missed the Ostrich Cooking Demonstration at the Oklahoma State Fair on Sunday, got loaded out of OKC on a Saturday night. How rude. I really wanted to see that bird cook. Pickin' up near the Corn Palace in the morning heading for 100 Tractor Drive. :D

Actually, figuring out the 50 gallons in a 5 day period is not all that unlike filling out a log book and accounting for the previous 7 days. It's so easy even a cavema^^^ er, ah, a trucker can do it.

I'm still looking for the shopping cart.

"right consective days if u miss one it starts over " It's not consecutive days, you don't have to buy fuel on 5 consecutive days, it's within a 5 consecutive day period. Meaning, if you buy 20 gallons on Monday, and then 20 gallons on Wednesday, and then 20 gallons on Friday, you now have one...

The expediting industry is full of current and former van drivers who went out and bought a van and became an expediter because they think it's easy money. Almost all of them are wrong. The industry is also full of current and former owners with multiple vans who think each van they have is a...

Thanks. Saved it in the Garmin Favorites. :)

Oh, yeah, been to Gilroy. You can get garlic real cheap there. Just follow the trucks and pick up what falls off. The Oklahoma State Fair is going on at the moment, tomorrow is the last day. They have a long list of events, attractions and entertainment, but one intrigues me. It's the "Ostrich...

In another life I must have been Italian. My stepdad doesn't like Italian food. I told him he was un-American. :D I don't know if you've seen 'em or had 'em, but at the grocery store you will find garlic stuffed olives, where each olive is stuffed with a whole clove of garlic. Olives are...

Spices and seasonings add flavor and variety to foods. A good cook knows how to properly use them, a bad cook doesn't. The quest for herbs and spices over the millennia has led man to exploration, to financial success, and even to war. Every kid is taught that Columbus discovered the New...

Hanging is too good for a man who makes puns - he should be drawn and quoted. I'm an incorrigible punster. Do not incorrige me. :D King Ozymandias of Assyria was running low on cash after years of war with the Hittites. His last great possession was the Star of the Euphrates, the most...

If you have it set up to automatically give you the 45% of the line haul after the pickup, that 45% won't be deducted from your settlement until that PRO pays out, 2 weeks or so later. All deductions associated with a PRO are "settled" when that PRO pays out. Now, if you're getting an...
