    Dispatch selection of trucks for loads

    I was sitting in Whiteland, In. just south of Indianapolis. I had been there 6 or 7 hours when another Panther van pulled in. He had came up from Louisville. While talking he told me he couldn't go into Canada because of a legal problem. He got a load offer from Indy to Joliet. After he...

    anyone ever maxed out?

    I cubed out my van once. I filled it with wall mount tables and pedestals for a Perkins restaurant. I had to load and unload the van several times to get it all to fit. Finally got it all pieced in and away I went.

    Why are people so RUDE to others

    No problem Dave, I just wanted to let you know. Often when I send a private message I type in the subject and hit the enter key thus sending the subject and no message. Hope everything works out with your house. Good luck.

    Why are people so RUDE to others

    Dave, I received a cryptic private message from you the other day. It suggested that RichM was me or I was RichM. I assure you that Rich and I are different people. If the "M" in RichM stands for Moot, then he has my condolences. I forwarded your private message to Rich. Is this related to...

    Some detention should start immediately

    I think a one hour grace period is fair. Panther won't pay the driver until after the second hour, which is one hour too long.

    Good Advise for All!

    I agree. Excellent advise. I would like to add a few things. Always check the floor for nails and other debris. Whenever possible I would remove drums from pallets and roll them on top of cardboard on the floor. I don't like hauling drums on pallets. I know it's extra work kicking them...

    Single axle tractor-Baby8 Puppy

    Mike, I ran the pup/doubles idea by Matt K. several years ago. He kind of chuckled and that was about it. I figured a tractor pulling a 28' pup would be a "D" unit and when needed a set of doubles would be an "E" unit. With all of Con-Way's terminals and vast inventory of pups and dollies it...

    Sometimes you have to wonder

    I read the story again. Sometimes truck articles are written to show that everyone and his brother are out to get the poor truck driver. Consider the source of this article.

    Sometimes you have to wonder

    The story states that 95 out of 506 renewal applicants for hazmat had their CDLs canceled. It didn't exactly say why these 95 had their CDLs canceled. I agree with Ateam the hazmat is an endorsement. Failure to qualify should result in no hazmat endorsement, not revoking of the CDL...

    Have you seen this expediter?

    Cheri, You should really post a picture of the googly eyes. They are way too funny to share with only a few. I think every member of EO would get a kick out of those pics. Hope the big cat in the sky has a sense of humor.

    Evolution or Revolution

    I was at an Old Dominion terminal Monday. Advertising on the sides of their trailers touted "expedited service". I guess that was in reference to me. I picked up their freight and delivered it to their customer. Many TL and LTL carriers claim to offer some sort of "expedited" service. I...

    Heavy duty Roof racks anyone?

    Naw, they are not a waste of money. Using my twice a year I figure I should start seeing a return on my investment in about 12 years. Besides if I ever roll my van into a lake or river I will float.
