Neverquit, your choice of trucks has me confused. You state you want a KW 900L or a Peterbilt 387. Why these 2 very different trucks? The 900L with, as Crazy put it "the aerodynamics of a brick" is more closely related to its cousin the Pete 379. While the Pete 387 is more aerodynamic and...

Sorry about interjecting a positive experience into this end of the world atmosphere. I guess I dance to the music of a different fiddler. Yea, me and Nero are feeling fine!

Looks like coon stew for lunch and a new winter hat.

Mike, I admit that HD has come a long way since AMF owned them. In the 1960's and 70's AMF was on an acquisition tear extracting every ounce of profit from a company in exchange for quality and customer satisfaction. Harley's resurgence in the late 1980's was fostered by a quality product but...

Jim, did you have skeet for Thanksgiving dinner? You've got a great thread going here! And may I add BAN THE VAN! Thanks, I had to get that off my chest.

Sounds mighty generous of the Brotherhood to provide "economic relief" to save tens of thousands of jobs. Truth is; what choice did they have? When Yellow and Roadway are completely integrated 200 terminals will have been shuttered, power and trailing equipment will be sold off and thousands...

I assume by running you mean miles. I'm more a revenue type guy. September was an average month. October was a good month. I took advantage of lower fuel prices and high f.s.c. My cost per mile for fuel was .16/mile and my f.s.c. averaged out to .316 per mile. November is looking to be an...

Good stuff Mike! I had never heard this verse of American Pie. This must have come from the "Don McLean: The Missing Years." album. I fondly recall some posts by Cheri, Packmule, Highwaystar, OutwardboundII and others that dealt with songs about the expediter. Your American Pie certainly...

" burpppppp" I'll second that bodily function!

Pel, if you return to the U.S. via Thunder Bay stop by Sven and Ole's Pizza in downtown Grand Marais, MN. Or eat breakfast at the S.O.B. (South Of The Border) Cafe just off highway 61. Oh God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son" Abe says, "Man, you must be puttin' me on" God say, "No." Abe say...

I have been leased to Panther for 2 1/2 years and have never been upstairs. Or downstairs. In fact I have never been to Panther HQ. Ever! And I feel fine. As far as the end of the world, I feel fine about that too. Maybe it was the martini, or the Ethiopian beaded seat cover or perhaps my...

It's The End Of The World As We Know It, And I feel Fine! R.E.M. Hi! My name is Moot. I own a 2004 Chevrolet cargo van. I am leased to Panther Expedited Services. Also known as Panther 2, Panther ii, Panther II and most recently Panther 11. I am 53 years young. Pretty cool me throwing in...

The U.S. auto industry as a whole isn't in need of an urgent rescue but G.M., Ford and Chrysler seem to think they need a bundle of cash to survive.

Likewise for me! My all time favorite E.O. post is the "The Vendeta" post. Coming in a close and related second is the "Vision Quest II" post. No matter what name you post under, you will always be Kevmar to me!

What do your posts look like prior to editing?

Ah, come on Dave!

At Panther vans are required to have an annual D.O.T. inspection and owners must file a quarterly maintenance report. How does anybody know that Panther pays 100% of the fuel surcharge?

A seven year old would make a dandy wheel chock.

How about "as goes G.M.; so goes the U.S." Let's hope not!
