    Just getting started

    Most reputable carriers, um let me rephrase that; most carriers that want to appear as being reputable will require a DOT inspection, a scale ticket and some type of cargo restraints.

    Eubanks v. Panther II Transportation Inc.

    My guess is that individual payouts are based on a formula that takes into account number of paid miles and contracted rate per mile. Everyone's cut of whatever is left of the $2.5 million will vary.

    Inverter Drain on MPG???

    Speakers move air. Large speakers move a lot of air. If these speakers face forward, then all that air will push the van backwards, or at the very least blow the windshield out. Either way, a decrease in fuel mileage will result.

    Eubanks v. Panther II Transportation Inc.

    I'm sure you're right. The trucking industry is rife with carriers that illegally take advantage of O/Os. The plaintiff's attorneys are getting 30% of the $2.5 million settlement, plus some extras. I really don't care if I only get the minimum $10. This law suit might teach these asswipes...

    Eubanks v. Panther II Transportation Inc.

    I received notice by mail this week that I am included in a class action lawsuit, Eubanks v. Panther II Transportation Inc. If you were leased to Panther as an O/O between December 13, 1996 and September 6, 2013, you may be eligible for a payment from this class action settlement...

    Carrier hoppers

    The cost difference for an O/O changing carriers is significantly more than for a driver jumping around.

    Have you cargo vanners tried hauling air freight?

    You could say that. You could also say it is a round trip and 0% deadhead.

    Have you cargo vanners tried hauling air freight?

    Running out loaded and back empty is at least 100% deadhead and most likely more.

    Getting the most out of fueling up gasoline CVs

    I use credit cards that have no monthly or annual fees and have a rewards program. I pay my bill in full every month and incur no interest charges. Banks hate people like me but they continue to send me credit card applications in the mail.

    Looking for first Straight Truck job

    Sorry, but that's exactly what I'd recommend. Stick it out for 6 months and consider it an apprenticeship. Chances are you will be running with a driver trainer. You will learn what life is like on the road and gain valuable experience and work history to take with you when entering the...

    15 ft. unicell express van

    There is a way it can be under 10,000 GVWR if GM tagged it higher. Unicellular or another upfitter could de-rate it to less than 10,000 pounds.

    15 ft. unicell express van

    Looks like the Aerocell flat-floor. It also looks like it sits on a DRW chassis.

    iOS7 update

    You can call my daughter or trust me. Go to Settings, scroll down to General and open it. Then look for Software Updates. It took my iPhone 4 almost an hour to down load. You may want to do this with the power corded connected to a power source.

    15 ft. unicell express van

    Is that single rear wheel or dual rear wheel? What does your average load weigh? Over the road or city delivery?

    15 ft. unicell express van

    Do you have a link to the specs? It sounds like the Unicell Clasicube. It comes in an SRW version but the floor sits above the wheels, so no wheel boxes inside. This might be appealing to some, but for me the higher center of gravity is a negative. It also increases the overall height which...

    EO logo

    Yea, maybe it was Con-Way's "Teamsters Suck" placard that got confused with the poison placard.

    iOS7 update

    For years I wondered why I ever had children. Then I got caught up in the computer/cell phone thing and had an epiphany. I have kids so they can help me with this technical stuff. It was my daughter that called me about iOS7 and she walked me through installing it. I like iOS7. I was...

    Is this a short?

    Looks like some high voltage leakage combined with some dermis leakage.
