    What happening with Panther???

    Maybe Panther did you a favor. You could spend a week in Laredo waiting for another load. Mileage is only one factor to consider before accepting a load offer. Talk to your priest.

    What happening with Panther???

    Panther's disclaimer message is generic. Instead of sending out several different messages to cover vans, team vans, F.M.C.S.A. trucks solo and team, Panther sends out one cover-all message. I personally don't have a problem with swapping a load. But I do have a problem with not knowing when...

    Straight truck loads

    With my previous carrier I hauled loads out of :censoredsign: Bearing in Joplin. Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.

    What happening with Panther???

    That is true. Once you accept the load the following disclaimer comes across the QC and is also sent as an e-mail. Load may require a swap based on meeting customer needs and to ensure compliance with FMCSA regulations. Rates will be changed accordingly. Please contact dispatch with any...

    Any thoughts on this?

    Thought 1: What's with the "nameless small carrier"? There must have been some name on the e-mail. Thought 2: When did you receive this e-mail? There was a SCC meeting in April. Thought 3: Short indeed! Something is missing. Thought 4: Doug, this sounds like the perfect carrier for...

    Chicago Protest that the MSM won't show you

    The original post is about a protest in Chicago with a quote about it occurring July 4, 2009. I noticed the people at the protest were dressed more for late fall, early spring weather. sure it can get cool near the lake in the summer but... I also noticed a significant lack of foliage on...

    Chicago Protest that the MSM won't show you

    Well, based on this, I think the voters are sick and tired of this change!! If the rest of the USA saw this I'm certain more of those who are like-minded would have the guts to stand up too, but obviously they're not going to show this in the news.....for that very reason! A GREAT Day in...

    Dead Head miles a Deduction?

    I use total odometer miles for the year. I then subtract all personal miles like canoe trips and hauling junk for my kids. The remaining miles are business miles which includes; loaded, empty, deadhead etc.

    3, 4, or 5 skids

    Danny, after you get it weighed you must take into account all the stuff you add. I've got an 04 Chevy extended van, 9600 GVWR. I don't recall what it weighed in at fresh from the factory, but right now I'm at about 6800# I have a 1/2 thick composite plank floor (house fascia) which I...

    G-8 leaders agree to battle man made (yes man made) Global Warming

    I'm more concerned with this than climate change: What happens if a big asteroid hits the Earth? Judging from exhaustive and repeated realistic simulations involving a sledge hammer and a common frog, we can assume it will be pretty bad. :D

    chevy express cb/ antenna location

    My antenna is mounted on the inside lip of the driver's side fender. I drilled a hole through the firewall down by the parking brake for the coax and ran it up under the plastic trim on the roof post and under the headliner. I mounted my radio to a piece of 5/8 inch plywood glued to the...

    Yellow/Roadway Stock is at $0.96

    Those shippers could end up with freight stuck in the pipeline for weeks when the doors close. Their days were numbered. The sluggish economy is speeding up the inevitable.

    Layout has 1 wish granted!

    Then, about 15 minutes later than scheduled, Klobuchar began her introduction. She said Franken would be a champion of average Minnesotans and played up his middle-class bona fides. Me and Al, a couple of bona fide middle-class working stiffs.
