have great respect for most of the veterans here. But how anybody could think that any large corporate policy would change instantly over something some anonymous person wrote on an internet website is incomprehensible to anyone with the least amount of intelligence Hi It is mentioned in a...

I would talk to their contractor relations dept. Your experience is not one we have had with our years at Panther. Not every dispatcher is having a good day or is new and inexperienced. You as the driver must identify that and return the call and talk to another dispatcher. As far as pay...

Tough question to answer. I think it would depend on your own personal and family needs. You have numerous considerations to make prior to any decision. If it were me, I would try the job because it may not always be there. Expediting in some form or fashion will be. Additionally, it is a slow...

If you can, plan on attending the MATS show in Louisville, Ky. Last year they had some fantastic deals on numerous boxes offered by several manufacturers. Davekc

Hi Jack LDB and Trucker Matt. You guys are on the right track. This policy change was not something done over an internet post. I talked with contractor relations and they say the negotiating had gotten out of hand recently. Some drivers are never satisfied and try to get more money for every...

Expediting could present problems with that schedule. My advise would be to look at either local couriers, small package, or freight forwarders close to the airport. There should be plenty of work for you in the Detroit area. Davekc owner 20 years

They should have a map on the web site. If you want RV hook ups I would say the day before. The stadium was never full when we were there. Not sure on exit numbers but it is well marked off 65 and 265. Davekc owner 20 years

As with any company, they must cover their loads as profitably as they can. When the stated new policy begins to effect their revenue and their relationship with their customers, you will probably see some movement back to where they were at. I don't believe it would be in their best interest...

If it is like last year, parking at the stadium worked out well. If you arrive early, the RV lots have spaces and hook ups. From the stadium there is a shuttle that runs every 15 to 30 minutes. Davekc owner 20 years

Sounds like folks may be doing alot of deadheading on their own dime. Everyone has to be fair. I am sure A Team has a provision in his business plan to compensate all of the FedEx drivers effected by his comments. I would be disappointed if this was advise given to him by his experienced 11 man...

I like the volvo sleeper part, but have never been a fan of the front ends. It is kinda strange looking. Davekc owner 20 years

Soot is staining your paint. Put a high quality wax on it and it should take care of it. Wax will have to reapplied every 3 to 6 months. Hope that helps Davekc owner 20 years

This unfortunate policy change on the part of FDXCC came about due to the A Team blantly posting that he would recoup his fingerprinting costs for him and his wife by holding out for more revenue when "I am the only truck in the area". This was posted on the Haz/mat thread last week. Apparently...

RE: Epedited Experience vs Life Experience vs Truc Good Post. As you have found, just because someone is experienced in something doesn't always mean their answer is correct. But one can build a portfolio of information from experienced and inexperienced people to arrive at a proper conclusion...

My old class A's won't fit anymore. Jim & Karin You will have to be creative:7 Davekc

I agree with the above advise. Davekc owner 20 years

Supreme truck bodies usually have a place in every state. They have new as well as used boxes. They also do installs as well. Davekc owner 20 years

I agree. For the folks that visit often, it is of little benefit. However, for the new, it helps identify the source until they have become aware of all the members. Davekc owner 20 years

Not sure who removed it, but a 6600 mile week is possible. We have done it before. To be certain, it is not a representation of what the standard carriers average. Davekc owner 20 years

Any situation as mentioned above would leave you exposed in several different ways. Probably the two biggest issues are if you really have the specified coverage and in what amounts. Even if for example you have a million coverage, but a judgement is for 2 million, you are exposed on the...
