Yeah, ok, there is a strong Canadian influence at E.O. At least Lawrence and Ken are ex pats. Scott, when are you moving south?

I like to read the forums I post in that get deleted. I get a huge rush out of looking at a blank space where once silly drivel resided.

Just because!

Had it been $28, I may have framed it. $2800 was worth a trip to the bank to cash. The dings weren't really that noticeable, but both A pillars had dents which I believe drove up the price.

Okay! Maybe it was Al Gore. But when challenged on an issue of personal responsibity, I always blame someone else. Usually a Canadian.

A claim against your comprehensive coverage shouldn't have an effect on your premiums. If you're like me and I know I am, I'd submit the claim, forgo the repair and keep the cash. I did this a year ago on a 2001 Ranger. The $2800 for the hail damage more than made up for any dings that...

Like Cheri, I don't remember. Probably heard about it from Larry Page or Scott McGregor. I do recall a 4 or 5 month period of time between when I first discovered E.O. and when I became a member. I had an old laptop that didn't have internet capability so I could only get on line at home.

But the owner was dealing with the shop and was informed of the broken dipstick. He already had the turbo replaced, what's a few more bucks for a crucial component like a dipstick? How did the owner expect his driver or the mechanic to check the oil level?

This truck may have had dual dipsticks.

The title of this thread is misleading and incorrect. I believe it should read: What Dealer Sells Single Rear Wheel (SRW) Cutaway Box Trucks. There seems to be some confusion regarding single rear wheel and dual rear wheel chassis. Both would be considered single axle.

Wow! A Dear John letter from John Deere. We're going to miss you JD.

Broken dipstick. A very common mechanical problem that eventually leads to catastrophic engine failure.

This reads like the second shop is in agreement with the KW shop. I don't see a case against the KW shop. At least not one that you would win.

I miss some of my own sarcasm unless I mentally insert a sarcastic smiley face.

Curious, if Detroit and Chicago are small freight markets, what cities do you consider to be large freight markets?

Minneapolis dealt with this problem a few years ago: Minneapolis Sues Redflex Over Camera Ticket Refund | The Truth About Cars Click on the links in the above article for more info.

Almost all LTL carriers have some type of time definite, guaranteed service. I can't see how Panther would fit with ABF. To me, XPO seems the most logical player that is mentioned in the Reuters piece. One name that isn't mentioned is UPS. If Panther is truly up for sale, I would think UPS...

Con-Way never merged with Consolidated Freightways. In 1983 Consolidated Freightways Inc. (the corporation) started up 3 separate, Con-Way branded regional carriers that specialized in next day and 2nd day freight deliveries. In 1996 Consolidated Freightways Inc. (the corporation) spun off...

As a contractor I wouldn't welcome a sale to XPO. I agree with OVM that the first order of business would be new contracts. Yipee, another pay cut! If ABF were to purchase Panther, I wouldn't foresee any immediate changes. This should be interesting to follow to see how it all shakes out.

I don't understand ABF's interest in Panther, if there really is any interest. If ABF has cash laying around why not buy a regional LTL, expand into TL or invest more into their core LTL in preparation for the eventual demise of YRC. I think XPO is a more likely suitor.
