This thread started out asking what makes Panther the largest company. Essentially, was it fleet size or revenues. It doesn't matter whether Panther or FedEx Custom Critical is the largest, or that they carry freight that started out as general freight. Each company, in it's own right, is...

I was out of service for 28 days during your July thru November timeframe and received 31% less revenue during November than in July as compared to your 23% reduction. Fuel costs less so FSC is less. My van receives far less FSC, as a percentage, than in July. Another reason for the reduction...

A Marine colonel on his way home from work at the Pentagon came to a dead halt in traffic and thought to himself, "Wow, this traffic seems worse than usual. Nothing's even moving." He notices a police officer walking back and forth between the lines of cars so he rolls down his window and asks...

These "hot Shot" folks often carry cars, boats, small RV's, boat trailers and the like. Quite often this is one-way work, but the savvy drivers have a network whereby they serve regular customers coming and going. Some are truly indepentent and others are leased as independent contractors with...

Too Tall Turner From Tennessee, (may he RIP) was a 7' Roberts Express O/O and Express America driver.

Nice plate Joe. Any other good ones out there, beside joe and mine of course?

Please save us from the good people. The definition of work places within that Ohio law includes vehicles with which work is being performed. I sure hope the police don't just narrow in on freight hauling trucks, but also include police cars, construction vehicles, all government vehicles...

Moot: If you bring the laptop along the mouse should work great in the van. hehehe

As the brits would say, "that's a bloody good idea"

RE: 16' box truck, door opening/deck height? comfo Your wood decking, if needed, wood for sleeper is 100# minimum. E-track, straps, load bars, CB, office supplies and a fixture to stow them, another 100#. You and your wife a gentle 300# +/-. Clothing for a couple of weeks, laundry supplies...

RE: 16' box truck, door opening/deck height? comfo Just a guess. Your cutaway may have a GVWR of <10,000 but your curb weight will be about 7000+ after you outfit it for driving, sleeping and a co-driver. If I'm right you'll be limited in weight to less than 3000#. I'd suggest you take your...

Our member's prayers helped Rene' through a tough period and contributed greatly to her return to normalcy. You will be in our prayers as we see you through your dilemma. Marines deserve better than a short circuit for their service.

OK sports fans...Take it outside. If you'd like to continue the personal flaming, please use the PM's or go outside and play nice. The topic is about Radar detectors so let's return to that.

If you get into an owners truck with a 60/40 split and the truck averages $1.40 all loaded miles with a 20 cent fsc for loaded miles, the team will get 84 cents plus 20 cents for all loaded miles. If you take 60% of that and pay the fuel you will get 50.4 cents plus 20 cents and your codriver...

Aside from tractor loads, A D unit will afford you the most expediting opportunities. I 'spect any carrier would be anxious to talk to you about leasing on a D truck, particularly if you are a team operation.

Typicaly, a C truck is about a 14' box with a weight capacity of a minimum of 5000Lbs, A D is a 22' - 24' box with up to 13,000 Lb capacity

RE: 16' box truck, door opening/deck height? comfo I'm not the expert in the cutaway area, but I'll share an opinion or two. First a couple of questions. What is the GVWR of this truck. Is it a 4 or 6 wheeler. The truck you are planning is a hybrid among the common expedite vehicles. You...

Great article. It brings to mind that old but appropriate phrase, "When in Rome, Do as the Romans". or "Ugly American". When any foreign national travels to any other land, their ethnic or national culture should never be forced upon the peoples of the host nation. It would be unwise for me...

Nice story, Greg, but if you were cold, why didn't you just turn on the heater...that's what it for
