What the Web site says is quite irrelevant. All that matters is what the contract says.

McClain, sheesh. You managed to list all those expenses, and were only able to come up with a single revenue source to cover it all. Yes, Panther incurs some expenses for each and every truck signed on with the fleet. They also pay about about $17 a month on average for each vehicle's QC while...

Con-Way sold off everything but their core business, which was LTL and truckload. They got rid of the warehousing and retail logistics, among others, as well as the expedite division. Putting all their efforts back into their core business is what put them in the position to buy CFI.

A goldfish flops into a bar. The bartender asks, "What can I get you?" The goldfish says, "Water. Neat." René Descartes is in a bar at closing time. The bartender asks him if he'd like another drink. Descartes says, "I think not," and he disappeared. A little pig goes into a bar and orders...

Why? We don't use anyone else's full name on here.

And they do an excellent job under the circumstances. "If the council put Panther to the test to see just how much pull the council has...Management might take a more serious tone on the matter...." The Council has no pull, makes no decisions, has no power. All they can do is point out...

The NLM stuff that Panther ends up bidding out is one thing, I don't think it happens all that frequently. They aren't likely to bid cheap on already cheap freight if there is any chance that they can't get it covered cheaply. But for Panther's customers outside of NLM, that's another story...

I was in Chicago a couple of weeks ago. Sat at the Chicago Panther office for 24 hours, then moved out west to the TA for a day and a half. Finally got one out of there. "then thay tell me there is all kinds of shot loads back in det mi (home) if i wanted to come back empty " I don't know...

Yeah, I am. I've seen loads that Panther drivers have turned down be outsourced on the bid board for 4 or 5 times the contractor rate.

"And when the $$$ go away so will they, putting up the For Sale Sign." Name me one "transportation" company that wouldn't do the same. Is FedEx owned by a transportation company, or by a bunch of stockholders? What about Express-1? Ah, hah! hehe As for the emergency Driver Council meeting to...

Some people include strictly business related expenses in their CPM, some figure in all expenses incurred. Either way is right, neither is wrong. Main thing is that you understand what the number is and what it represents, or rather, what you want it to represent. You could use the CPM to mean...

"They offer a 150-200mi or some other not so good load with a small FS, That they know no one wants and instead of paying someone a little more money they offer a 1st out, because it costs them nothing." Yeah, that's exactly what happens. The problem with that is that is wholly unfair to the...

Spare the rod, spoil the child. I'd have at least sent back a message along the lines of, "If you had any idea about what all transpired between my receipt of the load offer and my going out of service, you would not have made such a rude and foolish comment like that. Have a mediocre day."

I sat and watched it happen in Nashville, then Lexington, then Dallas, then Laredo, then Dallas again, then Memphis. Then it was St Louis, Chicago, Grand Rapids. Sitting there watching first-out after first-out roll in ahead of me. It's not luck, it's a pattern, and it's out of control. Many...

Yer gettin' a little cynical, I think. :D People are already referring to him as President Obama. Guess they can't remember his first name. That, or it sounds too Klingon.

Why it is a dilemma when you only paid for two-thirds of the Snickers bar in the first place? Somebody else paid for the other third. But that's not even what's happening. Snickers bars used to cost fifty cents, now they cost seventy five cents. You've got one dollar in your pocket, and it...

I told you my head hurt. Sorry. :) I'm not disputing or side-stepping anything. You're looking at your fuel cost percentage of revenue, but what, really, is that telling you? Are you losing sleep over it? Is it telling you that you're losing money because the cost of fuel has gone up? You're...

Yeah, I know what you're saying. If it paid $1 a mile before, and $.90 was the line haul and $.10 was the FSC, now it's still $1 a mile, but $.30 is the FSC and $.70 is the line haul. In some cases, as with a few companies with flat FSC programs, and especially a few brokers, the line between...

One lady lied on 5 applications for 5 different properties and said her monthly income was $48,000 (her actual annual income). She was approved and awarded mortgages on five different homes. The news report was very sympathetic to her, because she would not be in this position had the lender...

Unfortunate, indeed. While I'm with Leo on this one, I do not know your new position nor the duties that will come with it. It may very well be that posting here would be inappropriate. I hope that turns out to not be the case.
