    Cargo Vans - What is your straight through limit?

    Panther doesn't have a mileage limit but they do have a 16 hour limit. After 16 hours "on duty" a 5 hour break is required. Sometimes 5 hour breaks are built into the transit time, sometimes the load swaps and sometimes the protect time is several hours later than the scheduled delivery time...

    The Future of Trucking is the Future of Jobs...

    In January 2011, Expedite NOW featured a piece a on a similar topic: Imagine a Future without Trucks Excerpt: When you go to the hardware store and buy a drill, is it because you want a drill or because you want a hole? If you could buy holes instead of drills, drills would cease to exist...

    TST Expediting

    If you get by the Detroiter, pull in, park and walk over to TST. At any given moment there are probably at least 20 trucks parked in their lot. Odds are a few of those are lease/purchase units. Talk with some of the drivers of those trucks. Or, if you are really daring, go hangout in their...

    Power napping

    The trick is not to force yourself to take a nap or believe you need one, just lay down. If you fall asleep, great. If not, at least you got some rest weren't sitting in the driver's seat. When I'm done for the day, before going to bed I play a game or two of Scrabble on my computer. Great...

    Locking Gas Cap

    The gas cap Xiggi posted appears to be made for connecting an extra gas tank. If one only used the stock tank, that metal cap could be fitted with an eye-bolt inserted in the fuel line hole, a flat piece of steel with a slot cut to receive the eye-bolt, similar to a hasp and a padlock. The...

    Locking Gas Cap

    Hey that's me! Have we met? If the chances were great enough that a Vandal might pour sugar in the gas tank of my generator, or a Visigoth would paint it black. My first concern would be to protect my van and its engine. I'd buy a locking gas cap for the van and then have the entire van...

    The Future of Trucking is the Future of Jobs...

    Even when jobs don’t become obsolete, companies are getting by with fewer workers. I was recently talking with a man in the vending-machine business. He told me times are tough. There are fewer and fewer people in the buildings, he said. Bill McClellan is a columnist for the St. Louis...

    Highway Songs

    So did I! I was baffled by your line: "Funny how they get the recognition after they're gone." I was pretty sure J.J. Cale wasn't dead and was positive most of Lynyrd Skynyrd was dead. I googled him. Sure enough he died a couple of days ago. I didn't know Lynyrd Skynyrd did a cover of "The...

    IRS wants out of Obamacare

    The title of this article: IRS WORKERS WANT OUT OF OBAMACARE is somewhat misleading. It is the union that wants out and is encouraging it's members to follow along. The FEHB program allows some insurance companies, employee associations, and labor unions to market health insurance plans to...

    Cell Phones And Intelligence Agencies

    I think it's great that the NSA monitors, analyzes and stores our cell phone information and is able to pinpoint our cell phone's location. Recently I showered at a truck and destroyed my phone in the process. Usually I remove all items from my pants pockets before showering. Somehow I...

    Embracee The Stupidity

    This is business. Don't go mucking it up by bringing ethics and pregnancy into the discussion. That makes two of us. I was just relating a day in my life. No Panther is not my customer. We are partners. I know this to be true because they told me so. Cheating them. Where did you come up...
