I'm not so sure that the transportation "biggies" will absorb the expedite freight. Just two weeks ago a major transportation carrier divested itself of an expedite unit. Just prior to that unit's 10 year anniversary. I suspect they saw more competetion and declining profits. Both good...

<center><a href=http://imageigloo.com><img src=http://imageigloo.com/images/9255van.jpg> ImageIgloo.com</center></a> I use roof racks when I deliver freight to the Boundry Waters Canoe Area or Quetico Provincial Park. I usually get two loads a year going that way. I drive until the road ends...

Hey Mike, Hope you landed on your feet. Let me know what you're up to. I'm hanging in there doing the blck power thing. Thanks for fielding the truckload question. I thought some of company owned truckload trucks were pulling LTL terminal to terminal. At least that's what my buddies at...

FREE BOBBY!

Thanks Art, Will they talk to me while I'm on Double Secret Probation.

Any LTL they do is linhaul. Terminal to terminal. I think most T/T that stayed are doing this or truckload. They also have company equipment doing the same thing.

Ken, If Landstar doesn't hold your hand like how do you get up in the morning to pick up a load? Do you like have to set an alarm clock to wake you up. How bogus is that man. Like I got people who like call me and ask if I'm up and awake. And they keep calling me. Like how rightous is that...

Dave, How can I get online to check my account. Many things have never been explained to me. And to make matters worse I'm on Double Secret Probation for my problems yesterday. Woe is me.

Well said ClasicOne. I never considered the fact that legal logging time is being consumed by sitting at someone's dock. In a perfect world there would be no detention time. But things happen. And when they do an O/O should be compensated for his or her's time and equipment. With Con-Way...

Cheri, I wore the pants for my first trip, but man they were tight. Guess old Eldridge never sat long. Oooops, I promised no more black panther jokes. But you started it. I gave the single fist salute to a Panther D unit the other day. He replied with a single finger salute. That wasn't...

Thanks Leo, Guess I'm just used to being treated like a professional. Under the laws of Con-Wayism we were refered to as PBO's. Professional Business Owners. Never much cared for that term but I did like being treated as a pro. I believe under Pantherism that 9 hours is the maximum...

Leo, I'm a convert from Con-Wayism. I have had no orientation. They are paying me per my Con-Way contract. Same goes for the f.s.c. Con-Way pays after the first hour. I told them up front, before I even left for the pick up that I would wait 1 hour. As for the wake up calls, I'm a big boy...

Mike, I didn't dream "about" Bernie. I just got mixed up in his dream somehow. If this is a "Mikey" day I hope I never have another one. It was probably my last "Panther" day though. Got a call from dispatch saying I had to go back to the shipper to qualify for dry run pay. then I got a QC...

I saw them stringing that stuff a couple of months ago along I-70. Didn't pay any attention to where in the median they were putting it. You're right, it doesn't make any sense to put them that close to the left shoulder. Unfortunately once it's done it's probably permanent, no matter how...

I have been with Panther for exactly two weeks. The first week after the buyout I was OOS. I returned to service this Tuesday and promptly was offered a load. Panther has kept me busy all week. I even had to turn down a 950 mile load because I already had driven 150 miles and it was 120 more...

I also used the solar method and my thumb nail. A little GooGone cleaned up the sticky residue. How about some advice on applying decals. I've been running with my black cat decals in a tube on the floor. I think they can be positioned using soapy water. Some of the letters are sticking to...

I had a bout of Shriner's Disease a few years ago. I looked silly wearing a fez. Eventually I recovered. The only lasting effects are a tendecy for the occasional smart ##### remark.

Dave, If I made three lefts then I would be right. But I'm wrong. You are right. I am not set up as an S corp or LLC. I file jointly, so this would not help me. I am my wife's tax deduction. I can see how this would be helpful to others. Especially fleet owners. Is this something new in...

A 401k plan is for employees. You can have both a 401 and an IRA or similar account if you are an employee. If you are self imployed no 401. Anyone can open an IRA and begin reaping the tax benifits and saving for retirement.

Phil, Your last line says it all. If FEDEX wants to expand, if Con-Way wants to get back into expediting or if any large company wants to enter the market, Panther is available.
