He might be able to bump it up a notch or two if they just use golf scores.;)

I hope Sam is ok after you pound him. ;)

Can't speak to the vans, but the only thing I have noticed is it is a slower start to the first quarter than previous years. I believe that is more of an industry issue rather than just Panther. Just reading posts here kind of confirms that. Since ABC owns both Panther and ABF, it would have...

After all this are you saying Fox News isn't "fair and balanced"? I've been so misled. :cool:

Ok...that was my point. It is the new rule coming that will create the problem. Not anything under the current ones.

If the break is mandatory for the 30 minutes in the first eight hours, how much fuel you have or don't isn't relevant. Of course you could/maybe burn that 30 minutes on the front end but that would be the only way to do it.

Phil is correct. As it works now, one of the people in a team is on duty. With putting a break in there, that would be happening while there other is doing their 10 hour sleeping time. That is where the problem is. Two people would be off duty for that 30 minute break. That is a problem on some...

The other option would be to get on with a carrier that allows you to broker your own freight using their authority. They do take a percentage but going it alone will likely have higher intitial costs. This concept is probably better suited if running straights or tractors but you could it in...

They are available for a two week stint.

I don't believe there is a shortage of drivers. Just a shortage of good drivers. CSA does nothing but create a revolving door. New entrants have a clean record because they haven't been driving. Duh!:rolleyes: That is much different than whether they know what they are doing or have the...

If you have a QC, most pretend they are looking at it and then hand it back. I'm not sure a lot of them know how to read the thing.

I think in expediting it would be rare that you would need to reset in back to back weeks. Only scenerio I can see that is if a team is doing numerous DDP loads. In those cases one wouldn't be (or hope not) running them at a standard fair.

Ok...that was basically my understanding. You are correct on a delivery time at something past 1am. It would automatically add a third day. Which of course makes no sense. Well actually it does. Someone making rules that isn't in trucking. :rolleyes: I don't think it will impact us too bad if...

My understanding is it can be used only once per week. I can't find anything that says you can't use it until you hit the 70 hour max. So if the truck broke down and you were out for several days, I don't see anything stopping that assuming you haven't used it already that week. New changes...

I wouldn't have been sold on a move from ABF to Panther. Just too different operations. I think they made the right call. But they did bring Andy Clarke from a truckload operation and it seemed to work fairly well. Time will tell I guess like all these companies that make changes.

While a lot of it is political, I think there is quite a bit that has not been told. Just seems like a little too much secrecy around the whole thing.

While my preference is Fox News over the other cable news outlet (except maybe bbc) they all have a slanted bias one way or the other. I think MSNBC and others are more obvious with the left slant and Fox has its moments as well if looking objectively, but they look so much better when they do...

I would have to think anything is better outside the state of New York.

Rather than the back and forth it might be easier just to address what involvement there is or isn't with regards to monies owed from past invoices. I guess after that one could follow with what folks from WW would or wouldn't be doing and the degree of engagement with a new business. If...

Sorry to hear that. I hope some carriers read some of these adventures and have a realization or education as to why many won't run cheap freight. This is one of the many reasons.
