    Panther rates???

    I don't believe ever. They may have and I passed out from oxygen deprivation while laughing and it didn't register in my memory. I have only run a few less than rate loads over the years. Last year I did two in one day, but that was under special circumstances. I needed to get home and the...

    is this the perfect sprinter alternative?

    Looks like the HCV from Vision Manufacturing. Jack and Gracie Berry had one on an E-350 chassis. I believe somebody here on E.O. bought it after Jack died. Here's a link to a thread with some pics and info on the HCV...

    Hazmat question

    You can still have the papers in the proper place and have a crappy day. When I was involved in a Hazmat situation the fire department would let me retrieve the Hazmat BOL I left on the driver's seat. The following is an excerpt from...

    Why does panther put you on a pro before you even accept?!

    Please accept my apologies, I will be more careful in the future. The water cooler question I took to be rhetorical, the others seemed to me to be more direct questions, requiring an answer. Maybe in the future you could end your questions with a question mark, followed by either an (R)...

    You're the one that asked the following questions, remember? Hope? You mean you don't know? Please enlighten us. What carrier are you leased to and what rate do you run at? To me you come off as just another vanner blowing smoke and unwilling or unable to back up what he/she posts. But I...

    2013 "good"rates

    Yeah, good thing I don't own a gun or I'd eat it. I don't have the energy to beat myself to death with a wheel chock.

    2013 "good"rates

    Close, $1.01. Pretty much what I run for now which includes fsc. Gasoline was under a buck a gallon then. Before buying my first van, while running numbers, I figured a $1.50/gallon worst case scenario. Man was I ever off!

    L-Track vs. E-Track for floor of cargo van

    Another thought, if going with E-track, it is now available in galvanized version. Get the galvanized! It shouldn't rust or scratch like the painted version.

    2013 "good"rates

    Here is a rate sheet from Con-Way from 1997. These were the rates they charged their customers, not including FSC, which didn't come into play at that time. I was getting 58.5% of what they charged the customer. By 2003 Con-Way increased their rates and I got a raise to 59%. .
