Happy Birthday Linda!

Nice work on the shelving units! What are the two black square things that look like speakers, component cooling fans or vents? One is mounted on a vertical shelf support and the other on the bunk.

Leo, I think you are on to something here. I like it! Also a driver may accept a Rand McNally load knowing he/she will take a hit on the mileage, but the f.s.c. makes up for the mileage discrepancy. Then settlement time comes and you find you got the double whammy; clipped on the mileage...

If the shipper really thought you stole a pallet jack he should have called the police. I hope Panther figured this out and realized this guy was just trying to create trouble for you.

Dennis, I have removed my latch on occasion to accommodate tall loads. I always replace it after loading and then remove it again to unload. G.M. must have put it there for a reason other than to get in the way.

The cages were under the bunk. This is an old photo and I have since divested all of my chinchilla stock. I was able to supply HighwayStar with a fur lined shift lever cover, Cheri got a a fur book mark and popcorn holder and there was enough left over to make Jefferson3000 a fur cover for the...

Red type denotes Beemer speak. Tax: (noun) is a financial charge or other levy imposed on an individual or a legal entity by a state or a functional equivalent of a state. Your shake down friends call it a tax..So if they call it a tax how on earth ca you possibly not? Explain that..I will get...

I used 3/8 inch plywood subfloor glued to the metal floor with construction adhesive. I then fastened the E-track using Tec screws and stainless bolts. On top of the plywood I layed out 1/2 inch by 7 1/2 wide plastic composite planks. These were attached to the subfloor with galvanized deck...

Moose, I don't know why the "sticky placards" won't fit your holders. They should be the same size. What I have done, even on company owned trailers is peel the backing from each point toward the center and crease it. This leaves the adhesive on the points and edges exposed. The center of...

Hey beemer, in a Zionist controlled media; Turtle, myself or anyone can insult you. That's just the way it is. You are powerless. The Zionist control your screen. (Twilight Zone reference) Much the same way the Anti Zionists (Nazi reference) control your one track E.O. postings. As for...

The mpg's are high. I think Con-Way's model was based on 12 mpg for a cargo van and used the weekly national average of diesel fuel for all size vehicles regardless of whether the vehicle used diesel or gasoline. Panther's model is similar although they may be using 14 mpg for a van. I don't...

Your words? Looks like you are giving credit to a Yaakov Katz as the author of "your words." I believe Yaakov Katz to be a pawn of the Zionist controlled media and therefore everything in this article is a lie. If Katz wrote your words and Katz is a Zionist ummm, Beemer I think they got to...

Amen Brother Turtle! And always take advantage of any deadhead, empty move and bonus you can. The odds are in favor of the house but that doesn't mean you can't count the cards, work the percentages and win some of the time.

Thanks Kevmar for clearing that up! So at the end of your Watch (duty) you may receive a watch (clock pocket watch) for your years of service. Have you ever read any of John Sanford's "PREY" series novels? He has a minor character named Del Capslock. I love that name!

A watch is the quintessential retirement gift; is it not?

I agree Dave! I do much better without it. My question is how can Panther offer this as an option? When Con-Way went this route it was mandatory. I can't see how it can work without at least 70% participation.

How did you come by these figures? I believe the real reason for the weekly adjusted f.s.c. is so the carrier can cover all the loads. With f.s.c. out of the equation the only significant variables are miles and destination.

Ah, what is East Peoria, Illinois?

FAST cards are valid for 5 years. Yesterday I overheard two drivers mention this. I checked my card and it had expired in July. Where did the time go? I delivered about a mile from the border so I stopped by the U.S. Customs FAST office. The officer ran my card and verified that it had...

Since 1999, my first full year as an O/O: 1. January 2. October 3. March, April and September are all very close. I always take off at least 3 or 4 weeks during June, July and August. I find the canoeing in Minnesota easier and more enjoyable during the summer months. Con-Way encouraged...
