    New Advance Policy at Panther?

    Reasons, or (excuses) why people are hard up abound. They are everywhere. Might I mention that managing finances covers a large range of things. One comes to mind, being properly insured for your environment, Trucking, living---whatever. Just a passing thought for you gamblers out there.

    deer in the headlights

    Rich, just read the thread on here about panther advances. Should give you some reinforcement to continue to be amazed. Folks in all service industries need someone to fund them, help them work around their inabilities, or, whatever they need to be supported. I am truly relieved that I no...

    Panther people! Talk to us

    Nah, not yet. Ya gotta whine about it being too slow, too far, too cold, too hot or sumpin before you get to be a real member. Even better yet, whine about someone not giving you an advance for something you have not done yet. Then, maybe. But what do I know, not sure what the criterion is.

    Panther people! Talk to us

    Fer git it eot, it will never sink in out there. Tis a funny thing these "Expediters". Regardless of that, Dream Team would be well advised that about any organization worth their salt, can keep the pockets jingling, without having to run 6k a week, but, many outfits have way too many agendas...

    Truck Stops

    Our guy was at the J north of Houston today for fuel/shower. He called me and was explaining the sight he had there. Seems there was a fella look'in round the lot for something to lift, and he was serious, had his a$$ pockets full of tools. Well, wasn't long and someone was minus a generator...

    Cutaway Chassis

    Actually it's a strange thing there Chappy, 3.73 versus 4.10 is actually higher. Ie, 3.73 at same RPM has greater ground speed, less pulling power, greater economy (supposidly). Maybe you knew that.

    Thanks TA

    riverat, who cares. One less TA is a good thing. I filled my truck ONCE at a TA. The attitude and customer service sucked, and that has been my total contribution to that chain. And my fleet has purchased a lot of fuel over the many years. Leo, shouldn't be too many gremlins at the...

    How to cope the slow season?

    Seems nine months of good running, a fella should have a bit socked away, providing he ran all he could while it was there. Enjoy the break now, and giver *ell when it comes. That is usually the most difficult thing to get across, You can take plenty of time off from this occupation, but, not...
