I think the whole thing is total overkill. It does very little to address any security problems. The terrorist that want to blow something up, will steal the truck. A hazmat license does nothing to address that. We might catch a few illegals without green cards, but that is about it. Just my...

Almost forgot; Is my check in the mail:7 just kidding Davekc

Since you are with Panther, either on the toll road, or go down to Jersey. Conn. does alot of of runs as well. Some depends when you go on the board since you are a single driver. Monday thru Thurs..........go to jersey Friday and Sat........go to Hartford. Why?........most runs out of...

I think you will find most drivers will share all kinds of information with you. There is alot of great folks out there. i asked what he would do different( meaning buying his own vehicle and jumping right in) and he stated nothing.. He stated nothing because there are so many factors to...

I would wait alittle while as more repos and private sellers are giving up their trucks. You may be able to do a lease purchase through a private seller as an option. Make sure you understand what you are signing! If it is your first time, spend the couple of hundred dollars and have an attorney...

You have to be careful with this or the wife will start dumping all kinds of recipes on here. Davekc

Most of the larger carriers only give you 10 to 15 minutes depending on the carrier, whether FedEX,Panther,TriState and I believe Conway. Seems to be ones with QC's Davekc owner 20 years

They could but would have to use a square aluminum box for it. I think there could be some structure issues with it as well. The usual fiberglass ones you see can only go to 96". When doing a little specing, besides structure issues, cost was a factor. It looked like the upcharge was 20,000 to...

RE: On Time Express Highlighted.......Thats my com If living in Detroit, they sound like a great outfit. Good to see a positive post about a company Davekc

Not quite there with the Cat, but it is at 435,000 this week. Scheduled for a dyno and valve adjustment next time to FL. It will be interesting to see what they say. Davekc

It seems based on other posts ect, that the only class 7 with long term durability is a pete or kw. They seem to pull a better dollar on resale as well. Kinda of a class 7 and a half. I like the class 8's but not for a fleet truck. After it is 5 or 6 years old, no one is interested in driving...

The larger carriers are going to be your best bet here. Many can get loads down to Dallas, but getting you back out of there is another issue. The big three would be the most successful in getting you back home with some frequency. Davekc

Interesting how that works. I will send you a PM. Like to know how you store water, and how the water pressure and all that works. Davekc

Need some input and or opinions. This is kinda a follow up to Gibsters post. While we were shopping at the MATS show we found a interesting challenge that has two different approaches. If you were to drive an owners truck, which would you prefer, A truck were the cab is open above the drivers...

At least your up and running which is a good thing. I quess in the grand scheme of things, it could have been worse. Davekc

RE: Was Custom Sleepers and Smaller Boxes The Way If doing a "D" unit I don't believe I would drop below a 18 foot box. If with a smaller carrier, I think a 22' box is needed. In todays market I would be careful with liftgate and reefer trucks because of the huge investment and minumal return...

There are some posts available to you regarding single drivers. Search the archives and see if that helps you. We are only familar with teams. Davekc owner 20 years

We have had equipment there for two years. We have operated with both expedite and common carrier companies. Since we have had trucks at several of the larger expedite carriers, Panther has been the best fit for us. Many would say their company is the best fit for them. That is a good thing...

I would also contact your local attorney generals office. They will be able to give you some assistance on the local level with regards to your bank. The attorney general will but you in contact with bank regulators, and probably the postal inspector. Sorry to hear about your situation. I hope...

THawk I have to agree. I think this would be an issue with any of the large carriers. We have had trucks leased on with several of them, and I would think it would be foolish to think it doesn't happen at other carriers. Davekc owner 20 years
