    Advice?

    I'm pretty happy with panther so if/when I do this I'd more than likely stay here. When I do this though I will compare companies such as rpm,estimated miles,sign on bonus ect. I DON'T plan on just jumping in to something that could make or break me without doing research and getting opinions.

    More fun in this biz than a barrel of monkees

    Greg many place have tried to refuse loads we have done because their higher ups wouldn't allow them to load/unload without being locked in. We had to hand load unload at these.

    Quit Question

    The truck is still going to be run as solo. If you aren't qualified by the company you aren't listed as a driver of that vehicle. Here is an analogy for you. My wife was to ride with me it would be considered a solo with a passenger because she isn't company approved.

    purchasing a ST

    Well I'm considering this in the future but not until I have enough in the bank for expenses at home,down payment,2 truck payments and a nice maint. Fund. Also we haul alot of light and heavier loads so a dual axle or even add on tag axle seems more profitable. Even straight trucks under 26,001...

    Black Friday - Time to stop the maddness

    So true. Go in with hopes of getting a really good deal but if you don't get that product then big deal. You guys have any idea how much of that stuff I needed such as the kitchen appliances I didn't get? Why didn't I get it? I didn't want to lower my standards and fight for it.

    Black Friday - Time to stop the maddness

    Right. I went in with the thought if I didnt get it I would just pay full price at christmas time. I am not going to fight over it. As stated though Missouri was well organized and had plenty of police and security. I didn't see one fight or anyone disorderly.

    You knew it was coming. DOT bans handheld cell phones in trucks.

    Because as of right now you haven't had an accident so there is no need for an investigation of your personal property. The minute you are in an accident they will tear your truck apart and go through it with a fine tooth comb and your phone then becomes evidence. If they feel you were...

    You knew it was coming. DOT bans handheld cell phones in trucks.

    Still don't know why this is such an issue for one here to understand. Get a headset with all that money your making and quit whining about it. What is the problem here? Government can/will enforce it the same as they do where handhelds are illegal all together. They won't be able to get...
