I also used the solar method and my thumb nail. A little GooGone cleaned up the sticky residue. How about some advice on applying decals. I've been running with my black cat decals in a tube on the floor. I think they can be positioned using soapy water. Some of the letters are sticking to...

I had a bout of Shriner's Disease a few years ago. I looked silly wearing a fez. Eventually I recovered. The only lasting effects are a tendecy for the occasional smart ##### remark.

Dave, If I made three lefts then I would be right. But I'm wrong. You are right. I am not set up as an S corp or LLC. I file jointly, so this would not help me. I am my wife's tax deduction. I can see how this would be helpful to others. Especially fleet owners. Is this something new in...

A 401k plan is for employees. You can have both a 401 and an IRA or similar account if you are an employee. If you are self imployed no 401. Anyone can open an IRA and begin reaping the tax benifits and saving for retirement.

Phil, Your last line says it all. If FEDEX wants to expand, if Con-Way wants to get back into expediting or if any large company wants to enter the market, Panther is available.

Dave, I agree. They may want to expand the brokerage and truck load side. I,m not so sure they needed the cash as much as they didn't realize the profits from the expedite segment of the industry. They may be player in the future though.

Dave, Brokerage is not Con-Way's core business. LTL freight is. Con-Way did not buy out C.F. Consolidated Freight gave birth to Con-Way in 1983. When the 3 Con-Way regional LTLs out performed C.F. C.F. was spun off on its own. When it closed C.F. had no connection to Con-Way (CNF) other...

Mr. Mayfield, I would have to say that YOU are wrong on this one. Where was it reported that Con-Way was in bankrupcy court? Con-Way is a Wall Street darling as far as transportation companies. Con-Way stock is trading at about $55.00 a share. Sale of the expedite component will probably...

Turtle, Call Con-Way's dispatch 1-800-808-2446 this will kick you into Panther's dispatch. They will want your name, address and phone number. They will send either by mail or fax a package of information. Also your QC should be under Panther conrtol. Bring up macro 25. Power to the people...

All Con-Way contractors have a choice of switching over to Panther or signing on with another carrier. To Con-Way's credit every O/O that signs with Panther will be paid $1000.00. That money is coming from Con-Way not Panther. As it was explained to me by a Con-Way V.P and a Panther rep there...

Turtle, Good idea buying the gloves. Did you find any of those tight crotch Eldridge Clever pants in Davenport? How about Peoria? POWER TO THE PEOPLE,DOWN WIT DA MAN, FREE BOBBY, RUN FOREST RUN.

I've been with Con-Way a little over 9 years. It is the only expedite company I have worked for. I don't know much about Panther, other than what I read here. Is Panther connected to the Panther group from California? The one started by Huey "Fig" Newton, Bobby "Safety" Seale and Eldridge...

Turtle, Nice looking Sprinter. The new signage looks great. Good thing you took photos. I noticed they didn't give you new door signs with the new d.o.t. numbers. Was there a reason for that.

You aren't missing anything. It was a corporate decision to change the name. Con-Way Now or Con-Way Expedite is or was just one of many companies under the Con-Way corporate umbrella. All were effected by the name change. But this one got sold.

I just got THE PHONE CALL. Guess I'm getting cats on the side of my van. And I was looking forward to the new Con-Way colors. So it goes. Two wrongs don't make a right, but four cats do?

I have a hunch that back in May 2003 you weren't very happy paying $1.359 per gallon. It sure seems like a deal now though.

Jack, Not sure what you need the extra foot or two for coming off the deck. I see many step decks with a device that supports the load at the same height as the upper deck. I don't know what they are called, but I will try to describe one. Picture a box beam. Let's say 2 pieces of steel or...

Wow! What a mess. An RGN heavy haul trailer ain't cheap either. The tractor must have sustained some damage also.

Governors on trucks going into Canada? I get this mental image of Greg running over to Lansing and hauling what's her name out of the mansion and strapping her to the roof of his van. He would then have a governor on his truck. Take her to Sudbury buddy.
