I can not speak for the deal you are looking at. I can speak for what two of my trucks are doing. My daughter and her husband both run for them and do very well. They recently, last month paid me off for the last vehicle. One is a step van and one is a cargo van. They are currently in the...

Nope No I better not Raceman OTR O/O

Many of you know I hung a box door on an I beam. I had it rigged for a week now in order to work. The hinges are "Special" and had to come from Canada. AlumiBunk is to thank for that. $80 a hinge and there is three on a door. Then the shipping and handling and labor, total repair = $480.00. I...

Yes! You had better be ready for a dry spell. Raceman OTR O/O

I can't wait to see the answers to this question. I have looked into that and never did make the jump. Not sure why I did not but some of things you bring up were part of my decision not to do this. There were many others but you hit a few big ones. If I could get general freight for my...

I am not getting involved here other than to share a few things. Most I have shared before in some manner. I think ATeam puts up some great suggestions and has shown a very thoughtful and well planned business approach/plan. I think his background, that I have read of, gives him a heads above...

As most of you know I have been running dedicated for a while now and have come to like it. Well it is ok. My question is, Is business picking up? I have to admit being dedicated and no longer playing fleet owner, I have not kept up except with rumors from those I run into at my picks and drops...

Anybody know anyone around the Cincinnati area that is a clutch person? Good Lord! I just want it adjusted to the point that it does not slip and it does not chatter. It is only a year old and it has some wear and I have had it adjuted three times in two days and two mechanics. One stoped the...

BP, that story is a lot longer and if I told it you would be able to determine who the Jackass is that I refered too. :) Truth be known there was a PortOLet, XM Radio and a Hillsboro Trucking driver all involved. However there was only one distracted jackass and that may have been the same...

BIGBUSBOB makes some very good points. If you go back a while you will see where when I was running in the Expedited OTR field. I always recommended "Mapping". What I always meant by this is track your loads. Hot spots and Cold spots. It works very well and is very useful in slow periods. I have...

Everyone has told you well. Let me tell you from experience. Credit and property upkeep are the two things that really tell the story on people. Job history, in my opinion means nothing. If folks have good credit and take care of their own vehicles and home, Bingo, you got a pretty good shot at...

I would agree with the above response as well as some of the other statements. I have been with four expediting companies since owning trucks. Panther was not one of them. I run into many drivers from Panther and have hired a couple. Everyone I speak to complains of employees owning trucks. It...

Well I got it to Trailines in West Chester , Ohio and they atleast have the door off. Not that that does much good but I am hopeful they will get it fixed today. I should have never washed it and polished the wheels. 15 minutes after getting the it all shined up, BAM, tore up the door. Umm um...

Thanks to those who offered help. I will ley you all know the outcome Raceman OTR O/O

because I have to be fixed by 2:00 Friday afternoon. I had my box doors open, got distracted by a jackass and caught left box door on an I beam. Need a place to take door off and replace hinges fast. Anybody know who can provide that service around Sharonville Ohio, Fast? Not Freightliner...

Yep I really like Bruce. I think you are right on how you describe them. Raceman OTR O/O

I completely disagree with the overall answer you are getting here. Hold on all. They are right with they are telling you. This is all inside the box thinking. It sounds as though you just want to work and do not plan on an income that a straight truck would bring you? If this is correct then...

Hawk, glad to hear you got something so quickly. Be careful and have fun. Tell me in a private note what the truck looks like so I can keep yelling for you on the CB. I hope it is easier than trying to find the Panther truck you were in. :) Raceman OTR O/O

DaveKC is your last name Ramsey? :) You sound a lot like him and very right. THawk, So sorry to hear of all this. Hope things turn around for you. You might try a little smaller company. It has worked out well for me and I think BroomPilot feels the same way. Although I have no idea what went...

Damn thats a good looking wheel! Raceman OTR O/O
