hopefully with the indulgence of the topic police and the expeditors with good taste i would like to step up to the complaint desk. first let me advise you that i am not retired, nor do i ever think that i would like to own a motorhome. over the years i've seen many threads about retirees in...

I also find the margins too large although you say this will be fixed. It seems to me that all the pastel coloration is a bit lacking in contrast and tends to be hard to read in certain light. I,am sure this forum change is difficult but the bugs will be shaken out in time no doubt. At least...

how do you know "big money can be made". do you presently have trucks working in that area. if so could you give details?

never sit in Oak Creek never. LOL

anyone running an 05 6.0 diesel van with 355 rear end? if so how do you like the ratio and what type of milage are you getting.

terryandrene are absolutely correct, and this is not the first time they have talked on this subject. carrier weight definitions for b loads have continued to go up as competition for loads increase and willingness to overload vans continues. the manufacturers specifications are based on a NEW...

interesting hypothisis, but since this is just a holding company buying panther it may just be a case of buy low sell high. that is the industry as a whole is slow but they look for improvement down the line to make a profit. simple as that. just speculation,it's fun sometimes.

DON'T TAKE LOADS THAT ARE NOT FUEL SURCHARGED UNLESS THEY ARE PROFITABLE. DON'T WORK FOR COMPANIES THAT DON'T TRY HARD TO OBTAIN SURCHARGES FROM THEIR CUSTOMERS. DON'T DEVIATE FROM THE ABOVE TWO PRACTICES. JUST MY OPINION.

you know it's getting slow out there when you can no longer COUNT ON a friday load out of some of your favorite spots. i'am usually an optomist but it's been this way on and off now for several weeks. time to watch the pennies i guess.
