We had a big Man Cave with 110 inch sleeper until we retired the truck about 2 months ago. Out Drivers loved that truck.

Happy Birthday Linda. What anniversary of your 21 Birthday are you on now. i just had my 21st Anniversary of my 21st Birthday.

Well, maybe you upset them somehow. I don't know.

Thank you, but it was not needed. I just was posting what I know in regards to Greg. Like I said before I have no reason to think that Greg is not a truck owner. Why would someone come on EO and say they where a truck owner when they weren't. Talking with Greg over the years in regards to...

Not all my trucks run Elite. To be in Elite both drivers have to have Haz mat. The truck stats I gave was a dry box truck with a lift-gate that is not in Elite. If it was, it would be doing better than the stats given. If $1.29 all miles and that makes you happy then so be it. It don't matter...

Greg says he is a truck owner out of the Detroit, Mi area. I have talked to Greg on the phone a few times, but never met Greg. He says he drives, but I have never seen his truck. Greg says he has a 1999 CR unit with Landstar. I don't think he is lying because if he was, someone would have...

Nobody said you was lying Greg. Just that you wasn't making 3.50 a mile on a single load over 3000 miles. Now on 2 to 3 loads put together yes I believe you are doing that because you run local around Detroit, Mi. DaveKC has been doing that for years with his trucks. Not like you brought it to...

What Carrier really shows they care about their drivers. You can vote for as many as you want. What I mean is will the carrier help you with a repair in a time of need? Does the carrier do things to show you that they care about their O/O and want to keep them happy?

Thank you for your kind words, I talked to Phil on the phone the other day for the 1st time ever, Phil is really one cool guy that for years I may have taken the wrong way. The guy was one of the nicest guys from EO I ever talked to on the phone. DaveKc, Turtle, Dreamer, Terry, and many others...

I'm sorry but my stats aren't FANTASY as you put it. Those are true stats from a driver who has been with me since 1999, he runs the truck the same way I do because he was my co-driver for many years before I came off the road full time two years ago. Not all fleet owners are as you say. That...

Carrier A is FedEx Carrier B is Phil Madsen example of a percentage truck Carrier C is one of Mayfield Express LLC dry box lift gate truck. Carrier B is the true winner because less miles on the truck that will last longer and has a higher profit per mile. Carrier C is the winner in gross...

Leo most carriers say No weapons in your truck. So are you going to Mail the Knifes home or keep them in the truck?

That may be true, that is the base rate also. You get more for Haz Mat teams, Lift gates, going to Canada, reefer units, and government teams. Over all the set up that Panther has you as true owner operator. Do I miss FedEx Custom Critical? Yea, sometimes as I was a contractor there for many...

Thinking positive is a great thing. I'm glad you will now be able to wait until winter is over to get you a new Van, Sprinter, or Cube truck.

It's 550 miles X 1.30= $715.00 at FedEx. At Panther I'm getting 1.78 a loaded mile plus all deadhead miles paid at .40 to .50 a mile but for this I will use the lower of the two for the same load. Total loaded miles 400 x1.78 =$712.00 Total deadhead miles 150 X.40= $ 60.00...

Yes Davekc is the person to ask about Panther Vans. I think they are a waste unless you own and drive them yourself. I think a Sprinter is the better way to go. Have your driver call Glen in the QC department if your driver is having problems with the QC.

I was making more than that back in 1995 when I started with Roberts Express/FedEx Custom Critical in a dry box C unit with a 14 foot box. We got $1.31 a mile for a full rate C load. Fuel was .86 a gallon too. At Panther our dry box D-units are making $1.78 a loaded mile with the FSC, and $1.41...

When you run solo you do ALL the work. You don't have a person that can get up and unload the truck at the shipper, even after you just drove 10 hours and it's your partners turn to drive or unload the truck. As a solo you have to get out and unload the truck and you get less sleep I feel. It...
