    Nashville = no fun

    Vegas to Nashville sounds like one party after another. Shouldn't have any trouble with fun. Clock out and uber in. :)

    Which carrier pays the most, keeps you busy, values drivers and low weekly fees?

    Really have heard good things about bolt express these days, I heard the weekly fees can be cut to under $50 with the new smart phone tracking qual comm on its way out! Looking to get back in part/full time and run some loads coast to coast in my Sprinter 158. Any advice on carriers that have...

    How many trucks/commercial vehicles have you owned in your lifetime?

    Bout 7 or 8 sprinters lost count, got in the game in 2010 (if I would have bought one new in 06 I would have been a rich man) :) down to just two now. The 04-06 model run forever as most have experienced that have read the forums and keep them maintained and tuned to the finest level.

    Sprinter 70cpm + fsc

    They will hold up just fine as long as you don't mind running for .80 cents a mile.

    Will Hold Time ever improve at Panther?

    Ladies and gentlemen here is your weekly update on hold time. Yesterday 50 minutes to speak with a representative. Today so far 48 minutes. They also mentioned that they are working to improve this, to my knowledge its been a problem for over 3 yrs and I'm sure others say more. Best advice is to...

    Sprinter 70cpm + fsc

    The current rate at Panther is .80 cents a mile, back when I was running it was .97-1.00 with my hazmat. Every 1000 miles traveled go ahead and knock off about $200 and add $50 for fuel savings. Who pocketed the $150 or did companies start hiring refugees?? :)

    Will Hold Time ever improve at Panther?

    Keep the bonuses coming, the empty moves, dead head miles and all the bells and whistles and we will deal with your hold time until you can hire a few more "in house" to takes these calls. Sometimes its best to not call at all if you can help it. Last I heard bolt express didn't even know what a...

    Will Hold Time ever improve at Panther?

    For me it was over 41 min today because I hung up the phone and forgot the last question I had for them so I had to call back. Luckily I had a 15.6" laptop in front of me to help keep occupied during the wait. But I highly recommend having a list of everything encase you have to call back and...

    Will Hold Time ever improve at Panther?

    2400 miles... 2600 miles... 1400 miles for this week in 3 days, if they keep freight coming at 2000+ miles a week in a Sprinter I suppose I could deal with the long hold time. Not sure why they can't hire extra phone support. I can understand 5-10 minutes on hold but anything past that is...

    What expedite company do you consider.....

    You can sit with all of the companies, it just depends on where you're at and how you strategically go about accepting the loads that put you in preferred areas. Chicago Detroit Cleveland, I find it hard to do that in those locations. My rule of thumb is its not always about the load your on but...

    Personal Miles while driving a fleet owner Truck.

    The driver has agreed to bring back the van. I ask for a 30 days notice if quitting. For weeks that van sits I charge $90 per week to cover fees inside of the 30 days required. So if the driver quits without notice and I find a new driver that takes over the previous driver is fortunate and...

    Personal Miles while driving a fleet owner Truck.

    These are some good notes to keep in mind when drafting up the contact for the next driver.

    Personal Miles while driving a fleet owner Truck.

    ok sounds good, so what if the owner originally had a bed in the truck and the driver returns the truck with no bed? The check is due this week but I will have to inspect the truck and make sure everything is inside before issuing check.

    Personal Miles while driving a fleet owner Truck.

    So I have a driver that is finally quitting with essentially only a couple days notice (enough for them to get their stuff dropped off at home and return the truck). I'm asking the driver politely to make sure that the miles from their house and back to where the truck is being dropped off at...
