Has anybody used Panther's new TripPak scanning service? I have a pro and b.o.l. from Friday. I waited until I got home to download and print the cover sheet. Does TripPak provide confirmation of a successful scan? If a truckstop has a TripPak drop box do they also provide the scanning...

I would like to be a weird guy that drives around the country in a van making money. The year would be 1997. Or else a professional hit man.

Good for you India and even better for the environment that you don't have an airhorn. A short blast of a truck's airhorn wastes enough compressed air to keep a family of four breathing for an average of 8 seconds. That may not seem like much, but when every airhorn equipped truck in the world...

My first 6 weeks with Panther was real trying. I wasn't up to the constant babysiting. Too many phone calls, and QC messages. Are you awake, are you rolling did you brush your teeth... Things have gotten much better. I still have occasional bouts of PMS (Panther Meltdown Syndrome) but they...

I took last week off and didn't go back in service until 09:00 Tuesday. I had to wait 7 hours before I got a 339 mile load. Unloaded Wednesday morning and waited about 6 hours for a 515 mile load. Thursday morning after only a couple hours of sleep my phone rang. I won the lottery! Yipeeee...

How soon prior to the expiration date did you start the process? Having gone through a background check for FAST and paying a fee, why would that not suffice? Also many of you are cleared for A&E. Why another background check and fee for hazmat?

Uh, hi, my name is Moot. I..I..am always for..uh the road! For some trucking is an addiction. Unlike drugs or alcohol this addiction pays. But it can also have a devastating effect on family life. The trick is to find a balance between the road and home. I started out driving over-the-road...

RE: teams vote for each member Every time I sit and play with my puppy I get in trouble. I guess its the van.

Mr. Taxx could have a positive effect on the trucking industry if he used more chrome when shooting. Maybe he could be replaced by one of the big guns, like Mr. Cannon or at the very least, Paul Simon. ( I have visited Hank's website. Love that truck porn, especially the old CF photos) Think...

Other posts have been moved to a more appropirate forum. Why not this one. I am a bit disappointed this post got deleted, especially since I made one of my typical moronic smartass replies. Oh well! I'll get over it. Too bad for FedEx and their van fleet.

Thank you Pappy! I agree with you 100%. A c.b. radio is a safety item and a tax deduction. Over the years I have developed a system that allows me to listen to music and or books on c.d. and still have an ear to the road. I can not count how many times the c.b. has saved me from avoiding...

Mr. G, The fish are in Northern Minnesota on Bowstring Lake. Or I hope that's where they are because that's where I'm headed Friday morning. I only bolt on the rack when I go canoeing. I don't do the kayak thing. The canoe is staying home this weekend. I have a couple of friends with real...

Oh well! Maybe somebody reading this will swing through Anderson and get a good deal. I made a couple of trips from St. Paul to Anderson hauling automotive parts into Carter Trucking. Carter consolidated the shipment with others and hauled it to Loredo where it eventually made its way into...

Remember the "owner" half of owner/operator. You are a business owner and qualify for certain business related tax deductions. I would like to add a few items to Terry's list. Set up a dedicated home office. The square footage as a percent of your homes total square footage can be used as...

Hi Phi, get the official handbook for class B from your state. Study it and take the written test. I would recommend getting an airbrake and hazmat endorsement, more written tests. Once you pass your tests, rent an appropriate size truck from Ryder or a local rent/leasing company that has...

I'm no expert on physics but if you have an enclosed box I can't see how freight placement can have an effect on your m.p.g. Ride yes, fuel mileage no. I would think that you would want more weight toward the tandems and less on the steer. This should give you a better ride, more traction on...

If you have been sitting in Chicago since Saturday without a load maybe you should call your carrier and see if they are still in business.

Good thing I took this week off. Not much sense being in service if there is no freight to haul. Hope to catch a bunch of fish this weekend so I can be feed my family in the coming months.
