    Better yet spend some quality time on your therapist's couch. All I did was post a load count for one day in reply to Pelicn's post who in-turn was replying to Davekc's post. The three of us are Panther Pals and in no way was my post meant to start a whizzing contest with you over my company...

    the changing climate and interstate travel

    I wasn't in Arkansas during the ice storm nor did I have any friends there. I can only rely on what I read in news reports describing the storm. Most accounts state 2-4 inches of ice. Even snow-belt states with experienced snow removal crews would find great difficulty dealing with 2-4 inches...

    Unfortunately that can get you in trouble with the IRS also. Employees have money withheld from their paychecks. This amount can be adjusted by the number of dependents claimed each year. Self-employed people who end up with taxable income should be making quarterly payments based on past...

    One of the main reasons for trailer freeze ups is driver neglect. Lazy drivers hook to a trailer for a day or three and then drop it somewhere never draining the air tanks. Leaving the problem for someone else. This goes for flat tires, cracked wheels, missing lug nuts, sprung doors, etc, etc...

    for new van owner want to be

    Everyone's tax situation is different. My wife has a job and we file a joint tax return. I make both federal and state estimated quarterly payments. I try and fine tune these each year and often skip the 3rd and/or 4th quarter payment(s). Our goal is always to pay ZERO or get ZERO back come...

    for new van owner want to be

    If a small dose of reality demoralizes him he ain't gonna last long. I happen to believe deadhead miles should be taken into account to get a more accurate handle on profit. Also if he thinks he will be paying a couple thousand dollars to the IRS this April, he should be making estimated...

    for new van owner want to be

    I see no mention of deadhead miles. Can we assume the 66,700 miles are loaded miles only? Does your wife have a job? Is the $2344 that is being set aside for taxes being paid to the IRS in the form of estimated quarterly payments or being stuffed under the mattress?

    Canada Can you pass? New Canadian Citizen test

    I got 15 correct. I do fairly well at multiple choice tests, even if I am totally ignorant of the subject, which is often the case. 17. What is the capital of the province or territory that you live in? This one stumped me. I do not reside in any Canadian province or territory but answered as...

    First out and what ever

    I just re-read the most recent edition of Panther Paws and didn't find anything regarding First Outs. I did find this cutting edge news: We have reached the end of another year and what an interesting / challenging / transformational one this has been. It is amazing to think about all the...

    Drain the air from the system first. Uncouple the line down stream of the air dryer, if you have one, or after the compressor and add an airline anti-freeze such as Airgard or Tanners Gas. Is your air system frozen?
