It's a buyer beware when buying used trucks. We bought two 2007 Freightliner trucks at used truck dealer in northern Michigan for $80,000.00 that has been very costly for us. We had the trucks less than three months and the engine had to be rebuilt in one truck. The other truck had transmission...

I feel the same way you do DaveKc. BS is not on my happy meter.

They Did. Today is an exciting day for Panther Premium Logistics (formerly known as Panther Expedited Services) and all ArcBest CorporationSM (formally known as Arkansas Best Corporation) Companies. ArcBest CorporationSM is proud to unveil a new logo and name for Panther, as well as all other...

Must be your carrier as our trucks are running fine. We ran a few teams out of hours last week.

Owning a fleet of trucks can make someones hair go grey really fast.

Lawrence is 100% right on that both statements. Back 20 years ago the load had to pay very well for a driver to go to Florida. The free Classifieds do work. I sold one of our trucks on EO in less than 24 hours.

Don't buy your fuel at Pilot if your a reefer truck. Back when I was still driving with FedEx Custom Critical I bought all of my fuel at Pilot only. I was on a high value reefer load and the reefer shut down. We went into Carrier to get it fix and they pulled the fuel filter off and found that...

Good read, I have already read three of his stories. I love the tree farm one with the picture at the bottom. People are going to have to read it to see the nice picture at the bottom.

One of our lease to own drivers runs his truck at 58 mph and he puts an extra $500.00 in his pocket each week from just slowing down and fueling at TA truckstops.

I don't think any carrier will negotiate on cutting cost for fleet owners.

Carriers are charging fees for everything. One week of Com Data charges almost pays for the whole month if your using MPC 50 or the MPC 100 units. The big carriers with a 1000 plus trucks are making good money off of their contractors just on Qual Com.

No penalties for turning down loads. Very happy over all with Panther. There is a big difference between the two companies. Well to be honest I don't know how Fedex does things anymore since I was asked to leave as a driver after being there almost fourteen years. I'm very happy and hold no...

Lawrence I agree with what you are saying 100%. Detention time should be 40.00 an hour for vans and sprinters a hour after an hour. C and D units should get 60.00 an hour after an hour. Tractors should get 85.00 an hour after two hours as it takes longer to load a tractor. I don't think any...

With some states looking to increase the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour. I think its time for a rate increase for owner operators. Carriers are making more money off of owner operators than before. There is few carriers that do the right things for their Owner/Operators but that is not the case...

Congradulations to both of the new mods choosen. For those of you who don't know who Tom and Tina are, check out the video below. They do a great job with promoting a postive image for expediting and here is a small video about Tom and Tina.

I would like to say Congratulations to my friends Linda and Bob Caffee for being chosen by Travel Centers of America for their new Citizen Driver Award. Linda and Bob are true expediters and support what we all do in Expediting. They now have a Travel Center of America Truck Stop named after...

That made me laugh so hard I was in tears.

Does anyone know if and when there will be a service for Stewart?

Wow, I'm totally shocked, Stew was just messing with me on Facebook about a post. A great guy and loved to Joke around a lot and put a smile on people faces. RIP Stewart.

Just call the Texas DOT and tell them about the trucks. Maybe these carriers will quit using these trucks when their freight gets held up and they have to recover the load for a costly amount.
