Good article. It is refreshing to see Overdrive take a less radical approach to trucker's problems with government regulation. At one time they were the instigators behind these trucker shutdowns and slowdowns.

When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. When life hands you lemons and carbon dioxide, make fizzy lemonade. Cheers!

When I log in under my owner's number I show 100% for both. I think Panther needs to improve the communication between it's two heads or have one head amputated. Clearly the left head doesn't know what the right head is doing and the right head isn't privy to what the other one is up to.

Panther now has two methods to calculate acceptance rates. One is based on a sliding 60 days so your acceptance/refusals are always based on 60 days. Drivers can easily check their acceptance percentage by logging on to the Drivers Webpage. This change came about with the new website. The...

I buy Valvoline oil and Fram filters at Walmart. The last year or so I've paid about $20 for a 5 quart jug and a filter. My van takes 6 quarts so every fifth oil change requires buying another 5 gallon jug. I have seen oil change places advertise oil changes for $25 so let's call it $30. At...

The following is an update from this thread: Maintenance Costs For A 2004 Cargo Van Listed below are the costs for maintaining a 2004 Chevrolet 3500, long wheelbase 6.0 V-8 slop bucket, for the first 700,000 miles as it came from the factory. The costs do not include the installation or...

Re: Per Diem Tax Deductions & Taxes............................................. .... The per diem deduction is just that, a deduction used to reduce your taxable income. It appears the OP is looking to get money back from the IRS for his time on the road. He didn't file for taxes for the...

Nice looking Transtar II.

I see Nissan will be offering it in the next generation Titan pickup. Could be a nice engine for the NV long and tall if they ever make it.

I saw this sign on the back of a Swift trailer. It is just an innocuous statement. It is not a claim by Swift that they have award winning drivers or even safe and courteous drivers. It's a great public relations statement because it implicitly suggests to the reader that Swift does indeed...

Re: Per Diem Tax Deductions & Taxes............................................. .... It is the IRS's ball, game and field. If they say no then it doesn't matter what any of us tell you. Did you have taxable income in those years, did you make any quarterly tax payments or pay taxes at the end...

I've been feeling guilty lately. Being Catholic, guilt comes naturally. At first I thought it was due to the law suit against Panther, me profiting at the expense of my carrier, my partner. The guilt seems to run deeper than just that. It seems to emanate from the very core of my profession...

One could look at it that way. One could also say Mr. Eubanks had the testicular fortitude to go after a company that did him and others wrong. Or the $2.5 million was a deal because it was less than the total of their ill gotten gains over the years.

You are automatically part of this suit unless you decide to opt out.

That would be in a canoe, Missy.

For us ex-Cons detention was paid after the first hour. As soon as we signed a Panther contract that all changed. I held on to my Con-Way contract for 4 years before signing a Panther contract so my share of this settlement will be less than had I signed a Panther contract early on.

How could you afford to hold out? I watched most of my fsc drop to the structured rate or slightly below. Now I have to ask for a bonus to make up for lost fsc on short loads and loads going to the boonies.

Congratulations! Being a grandparent is great. Too bad one has to have children of their own first.
