I knew I'd seen a 1,900 Panther fleet size number somewhere. An EO search found it at: http://www.expeditersonline.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=4232&forum=DCForumID1#10 I think I saw it published someplace else too, but I do not recall the source. Can anyone help with...

MTC wrote, "The main contractual obligation of the carrier is to market your services and provide you with the freight resulting from their marketing efforts." If you can show me that in the contract you or I signed with our respective carriers, I'd love to see it. I've read my contract...

RE: Warning ticket for truck being too high in Ind I have not dealt with a case like this before, but your story illustrates an emerging reality all expediters should respect. Government agencies are getting better at capturing data, communicating with one another and managing databases. In...

Our best deadhead ever was a negative fifty yards. We delivered to a warehouse in the morning, pulled the truck straight ahead to park, took a nap, and then backed up fifty yards to the same loading dock to pick up another load that was going at full tarriff. Best per-mile rate ever is $160...

On June 2, 2006, Panther Expedited Services Inc. announced that it was planning an initial public offering of as much as $250 million in common stock. The company filed a preliminary prospectus (FORM S-1) with the SEC which can still be read online at...

No offense take here either, Broom.

>Fair enough. :) > >After reading about the first truck build disaster I'm >certain you wished you had chosen different advisors. :-( Thank you for understanding. The good news is the frustrations of the past remain there, in the past. We're delighted with the truck we are in today.

If you read the free Classifieds looking for fleet owners, keep an eye open for brothers Tim and Pat Hopkins in Columbus, Ohio. They are highly regarded in the Open Forum by other drivers who drove for them. Of the five owners Diane and I contracted with, Tim Hopkins was the best. The Hopkins...

Dreamer said, "I wanted to touch on something Linda said. She mentioned if the local directions were bad, calling in and correcting them. I wonder how many people take the time to do that?" We used to but stopped. Sometimes, we'd even re-run the local route after making a delivery to gather...

Thank you for your update. It is nice to hear you are happy and things worked out well for you. Thank you for the Hino drivability report too. I'm seeing more and more Hino expditers on the road. Please keep readers posted. Interest is clearly growing in these trucks. About your comment that...

We have a set minimum per-mile rate for all miles for any run we do. With the two runs mentioned above, where the deahdead was over 1,000 miles to pick up the freight, the deadhead and loaded miles were added together. That number was then divided by the offered pay to determine that the pay met...

Diane and I got into this business three years ago to (1) increase our income, (2) simplify our lives, (3) spend more time together, (4) share a business project, and (5) see the country. All of those objectives have and continue to be fulfilled. Compared to the white-collar professions we left...

I've often wondered why the 40' limit on straight >trucks? The majority of over the road intercity buses are >45'. Tom. Some states permit straight trucks longer than 40 feet but many do not. Thus, the practical limit is 40 feet. Contrast that limit to the totally unregulated RV motor coach...
