    New Harvard Study On Iraq

    I was content, and greatly humored, by sparring with this ignorant simpleton, but the final comment above crosses the line. I formally request that the moderators review this post and make a decision to ban either Robsdad, or me, I don't care which, because one of us is leaving, either...

    Ear Plugs

    Ear muffs in bed. That's hot. Ever since I learned how to drive I've usually driven with the driver window cracked a little. That comes from a paranoia of a bad firewall and having carbon monoxide building up inside the car. Even though I now drive a diesel, it's hard habit to break. But as a...

    New Harvard Study On Iraq

    See? I knew you wouldn't be able to resist. The above is known as a response. I know it's hard to understand these complicated concepts. Not only do you STILL refuse to answer the question, you also do exactly as I predicted, which is to avoid the real issues here and instead attack me. You...

    So much for the strike!

    I know. It was a joke. I saw where he said he runs off brokers/load boards, and load board are mainly TL and LTL freight. Guess I should have posted that in the Sense of Humor thread.

    Where's your sense of humor?

    Thanks for keeping cheap freight alive.

    New Harvard Study On Iraq

    Bummer, I thought you'd finally man-up and answer the question I asked you. Doesn't surprise me, though, that you would continue to to evade the issue and, instead, post yet another personal attack. How do you know? You don't even know me well enough to know what my kind is? Intentions don't...

    New Harvard Study On Iraq

    Don't even pretend to know me well enough to know my politics, because you don't. And for the record, you're wrong. Can it be possible that you really and truly are that stupid? Why you want to make this a personal issue, I have no idea. Why you can't comprehend simple English, I have no idea. I...

    New Harvard Study On Iraq

    Did you not bother to actually read, and comprehend, what you just quoted? I didn't state that war protesters, or those who voice their opinion, you included, are traitors. I merely said that a strong argument could be made for it, based on how it emboldens the enemy in the current and...

    Are You...........

    I would shut down for a strike in a heartbeat, if I thought it would do any good. It won't. Are you aware that the government collects more in tax revenue from each gallon of fuel sold at the pump than the oil companies make in net profit? Biggest April Fools Day joke ever is the US Senate...

    Detention Time

    I've been with Panther since the Con-Way NOW buyout, nearly two years (shudder, my how time flies when you're having oh, so much fun) and I've requested that shift supervisors or others call me back, and I have also been told by dispatchers and teams leaders, "I'll call you back," probably 50...

    Trucker Shutdown Underway!

    I like the ones who, if asked yesterday, wouldn't commit to shutting down today, but now that today has come and they didn't get a load, "Well, yeah you betcha I'm shutting down." I really can't see how a handful of independent truckers shutting down, much less slowing down and making...

    Has anyone got the new Panther boards mastered Yet?

    Well, no, I 'm sure that every board out there doesn't have a shipper, or at least a regular shipper. But every shipper is on a board. The Lone Star board is a good example of how no intelligent foresight was used to determine the boards. They didn't call it Lone Star because be we loads out of...

    Has anyone got the new Panther boards mastered Yet?

    It's not outrageous if they'd have the board boundaries defined so we'd know what the heck we're doing. The way the system is set up, the shipper is going to be physically located on a board, say, the Romulus, MI board. When dispatch plugs in the shipper's address it'll tell them which board it...

    Detention Time

    Oh, geez, you can't come on here and start naming names and throwing around charges of discrimination and human rights violations when nothing of the sort is going on. I don't care what Panther does over the phone or via the QC, there is nothing they can do to an independent contractor that...

    Detention Time

    Yep, $475 is what is should be. Looks like they're trying to get away with one day layover and 1 hour detention, or maybe 6 hours detention. Neither way makes sense. Call 'em up and ask to talk to someone who actually knows the difference between a hole in the ground and, well, you know...

    Sprinter service

    Wow, every word starts with a capital letter. Not sure I could do that if I tried. Anyway, how many different kinds of Mobile 1 0-W40 are there? Far as I know, there's just the one kind.

    Detention Time

    $150? That's why you want to get it settled BEFORE you deliver. How does that break down? Should be 9 hours detention, plus TWO DAYS Layover Pay. I don't know what Layover Pay for a tractor is, but for a van it's $75 a day, and 9 hours detention should be $135 ($15 an hour for a van - yeah, I...

    Email change, Help

    I never used the Classified before today. When I requested that it send me my "forgotten" password, it sent me my password, one that I've never seen before, one that looks like it was created when I hurled chunks onto the keyboard. It's an obvious randomly generated password. OK, I'm right...
