In general, I don't have a problem with swapping out a load. I understand the rational behind it. The problem with Panther is when you accept the load, you don't know where it will swap. Deadheading 200 mile is a gamble I wasn't interested in being there was a good chance the load would swap...

It paid $1.03/mile loaded.

Last night at 23:45 I turned down a 993 mile load. The dispatcher was in shock. He said: "but this is a 1000 mile load." Then he said: " If you are afraid it will swap, I can assure you it won't!" I wasn't about to argue with him. I told him I wasn't interested and thanked him for the...

Are you sure? We have several vertically challenged drivers right here on E.O. In fact I had lunch with two of them a few months ago. Maybe they could offer some advice. Could be as simple a seat cushion. I assume you are in a fleet owner's truck. Buying a new or even used air ride seat...

Ifin it was me, I'd sit. I have done well along the I-69 corridor towards Port Huron as well as I-75 up to Midland. My thinking is that most of those on the Lansing board probably are in Lansing proper or moved there after unloading in Flint. Those on the Toledo board are probably in Toledo...

The question I want an answer to is, who is going to power the bike to run the alternator?

Where did you the average miles per gallon number for the 4.8L engine from? Was this an EPA estimate or actual real world fuel mileage? Was this 4.8 engine in a 2500 van or a Malibu? What exactly was that mpg number and what is yours? Again, compared to what? How low is low? I could tell...

Not getting good mpg compared to what, the mpg you got 5 months ago or others mpg? You need a baseline to make a meaningful comparison. If you were getting 16 mpg 5 months ago and are now getting 14 mpg, then you have a problem. Could be something simple like an air filter, mass air flow...

Yea, sometimes I forget I used to be a zombie. You and I don't have the best track record as business partners. I'm not totally blaming you for our pet gator fiasco, but...

Great video!

If you're like me and I know I am, you'll be stocking up on ammo. I don't own any guns so at first glance this might seem ridiculous. I'm looking to the future where ammunition will become a form of currency. I could buy food with ammunition and avoid the extra costs of guns, beer, hunting...

60 Minutes did an update on this story earlier this evening. The DNA found on the bedspread was from Asian carp milt. Either the carp were spawning on this bed or a lone male carp was watching Animal Planet on cable television.

[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] I agree! [COLOR=#000080][SIZE=3][FONT=arial black] Exactly! It will happen to you eventually. Even if you can't render first aid, as Notanewbie mentioned, SECURE THE SCENE. Often times this can be more important than initial first aid and as simple as flagging...

Gas or diesel?

Does this delay always happen when accepting a load offer or is it intermittent? Try unscrewing the cable coupling from the antenna, wait about 60 seconds and reconnect it. This action reboots the internal antenna stuff according to a Panther QC dude. It worked for me.

60 Minutes did a piece last week on the Asian Carp invasion. They found traces of Asian Carp DNA on a bedspread in a Red Roof Inn motel room in Rockfish, Illinois.

Welcome back to E.O. It is refreshing to see someone work their way to the pinnacle in this industry, welcome to the wonderful world of vans! Thanks for the heads-up on the black grapes. I got some at a Target store the other day. A bit pricey, but very good!

I wonder if James Eagan Holmes' attorneys will take this tack in his defense? Look out Warner Brothers! What if a large group of Christians went ape doodoo over Andres Serrano infamous photograph?

I have the plugs and ignition wires on my 2004, 6.0 changed every 100,000 miles. I have never asked about the condition of the plugs, but the wires are toast. I replaced the original ignition wires at 100,000 with Napa lifetime wires. Every 100,000 the wires get replaced for free. The...

I'm late. Consider it a service failure. happy birthday ken!
