That is not true. They are owned by Fenway Partners which has very deep pockets. No, the reason that the load advance went down to 45% is because the cost of fuel has went down. There is no need to load that much on to a drivers card. One of our drivers had over $3000.00 built up on his...

Because your a husband and wife team, not a two family team. That is not ture either Phil, FedEx and Panther has expedite loads that are booked months in advance. They always do things for the NFL that are expedited to the Pro Football Hame of Fame that are booked months in advance.. As Owners...

Welcome Wingnut, I'm sure you will be a great Moderator. Have fun and be safe on the road.

Cool Pictures, I wish I was doing your job. I love airplanes.

Over all I would have to say the TA and Petro are the best. They take Comdata and have a great fuel discount. Flying J was the place to go, but they quit taking Comdata around 1996. The rest are just fuel stops.

You can have KW set the truck up to get the best MPG if you call them. I have 2 trucks with the 3126 Cat and I love them. Mine are 6 speeds with a 373 rear end. at 2200 on the rpm the truck goes about 67 mph.

Thank you x06col. I had to step back this year and take a look at the things I was doing wrong. 1st, I was off of my meds for stress and my temper. Zoloft does great things for stress and for someone that has a temper. I don't get mad as easy and my stress is way down. 2nd, I had to look at what...

Steve, you look at it the same way I do. Better to have a settlement four times in a month than only have three. I know 16.66% more in service, no matter if i'm at home or on the road gives me ore of a chance each month to make more money. Just think about if all the trucks at Panther and FedEx...

Why not sign on with a company like Panther. that way you can do both.

Smart man, sometimes you have spend a little money to make money. I know I would dead head 400 miles on my own dime, that way i'm going to a place to get a load rather than to sit for 3 days burning fuel waiting on a load.

Those are just numbers not facts. I dont know how many times I sat in with the agents at FedEx Custom Critical and they was having to tell customers to call back tomorrow because they was low on power units. The agents would even call trucks out of service to get them to try to take loads. So...

Good point, but if your running 13 days out and home Sat, Sun and Mon. You will find that your in service base on a 30 day month will be 26 day or 86.66 %. Now if you run 3 weeks out and one week off that is 21 days in service or 70% per month based on a 30 month. Does it always work out that...

When I was at FedEx Custom Critcal I picked up the gear for the rock group Pfish. Well, I got there and opened the stage door to have a cloud of smoke smelling like pot hit me in the face. I think I got a contact buzz because I fell off the back of the truck. My cousin who was my co driver at...

I wasn't able to be at the owners meeting at Panther because I was out on the road. One of the things that I was told that came up is, the number of trucks that Panther has on. Being at FedEx Custom Critical for many years this same thing would always come up. Now FedEx did a great job of...

Phil That was one of the best post I have seen in a long time. Nice to see people together talking about the business, no matter what company you are with. Maybe you can share something like this once a week with the people of EO. Maybe a Friday get together at the Petro can be done every...

You are still the man Lawrence.

Well I think you may be wrong on that, because a branch of the Summit County Sherrif office was there. My uncle worked out of that office.

Here is a very good place that has alot of truck parts really cheap. Akron Medina: Used, Salvage, Commercial Trucks, Bodies, Heavy Truck Parts & Accessories For Sale in Ohio.

Piper You hit the nail right on the head. The people of Green is very snoootty. Our kids play them in football, baskestball and so, the kids need a lesson in good sportsmanship. But, FedEx Custom Critical was told by the city of Green not to have people in the trucks over night. It's the...
