Another excellent post Terry.;)

Thanks Terry,very helpful info.

If your gonna be over 10,000 pounds i too would suggest a c unit,however i would get one with a gvw around 25,999 no air brakes,and one that can haul 10,000 pounds.If you team you really open up your freight options even with a smaller load capacity and your plates are cheaper,in my state i.l by...

I have a dock plate i use for swaps,its a bridge that connects 2 trucks that back to each others bumpers.I cann't find a company that makes one,does anyone know of a company out there? there's no name on mine.I know i can have one made,i was just hoping i could just buy one.

Are you looking for otr or local del in the chicagoland area? if local how does it pay.

Panthers done this before with the drivers roundtable,there were some changes made that were win/wins however the one i attended was a bunch of contractors complaining to management.I was turned off and they stopped the roundtable not long after that,there were to many people and the focus would...

I was wondering if anyone out there can explain what this council does,what it hopes to do,and why it exsists.It would be nice to hear from some panther employees [not drivers or contractors] so an understanding of realistic goals can be reached.

I would like to know what it is,how is it different from the drivers roundtable.

He said 210 is the highest it gets,i think i'll have him take a power hose and blow the bugs out the front of the radiator cause it only gets over 200 when he turns the air on,the condensor gets hot and there's not enough flow to compensate.If he idles or drivers with the air off he's fine,if...

The D will give you more freight options,if your running solo your at a disadvantage.

Thanks for the feedback,is there a way for the laymen to diagnose if the fan clutch is bad? he's laying over in w memphis is there a decent garage out there open on a sunday.

I have a baby cat 3116,i think.My driver says engine runs real hot at speeds of 55mph and above and when the weather is 90 or hotter.I said to put the heat on,he does and it helps alittle.If he idles its fine,there are no leaks inside or out.I wanna take the thermosat out and see what...

This is a great topic and one that newbies who run single should look at as much as the truck they buy,what carrier they run for,its a big part of the job.I love to read so bookstores are one of the first places i look for,i try to get to state parks and hike the trails[gotta watch your...

You mentioned your an employee not a o/o i take that as you drive for a o/o and the truck is leased to panther,in that instance you should talk to the truck owner about getting set up for a load.Like Dave said you really need to think past were your current load is taking you so you can get...

I am not a fan of Pilot,however my drivers like them cause they cash Comchecks for over 500$ you pay for this service of course.

I have a 6.0 in my 04 and i can't get better then 18-19 mpg,this is disturbing cause i have a 99 and 02 [7.3's] that average 19-22 mpg.There set up the same,ext with 3.55 rear ends and tires at 70 all around.I drive the 04 and have made an been driving alot slower and consistant trying to break...

It didn't work cause i didn't go there.The link i was talking about has nothing to do with a Dodge/freightliner Sprinter.I thought Dodge my have went bumper to bumper for 100,000 miles,which would be about a year in the expediter world.It's good info you put up there,i don't have a use...

NO that's not the link,i was just confirming what i already knew about the warranty,it's nothing special.Ford has a van overseas that is alot like the sprinter,it will be interesting to see if it makes it over in the next couple years.

Twmaster,I may have the name wrong cause Toyota isn't involved,and International to my knowledge doesn't have a 4 or 5 cyl.If i knew how to reseach and repost the thread i would,it was very interesting along with pics and stats.They look alot like sprinters and there in use in Europe cause that...

Is that seven year bumper to bumper? or drivrtrain only.
