I don't believe that discrepancies between the load offer and macro 3 involving the pieces and weight get red flagged. How many times have you received a load offer: pcs. 1 weight 1 only to load 2 pallets at 2000 lbs. and never hear a word from Panther. Yesterday I got a load offer pcs.1...

Gold Crown Victoria, blue Mercury Marquis, blue Chevrolet Caprice, white van, D.C. Beltway, Mississippi, it's all the same.

I'm a vanner and if I'm wearing shoes and socks and there are more than 10 pieces then its SL&C or STC. If the weather is warm and I'm barefoot, I'll extend my count to a maximum of 20 pieces.

Twin Cities East, Hudson, WI?

Talk with a dealer. You should be able to order just about any length frame rails within reason. Placement of the axle(s) will depend on sleeper size and weight, front axle weight, box size and weight, engine and other variables. Much of this a good dealer should be able to set up virtually...

Apparently you use the CB and for about $250 or less you should be able to get a decent radio with an SWR meter and a good antenna. Buy from a reputable CB shop and they will "peak and tune" and double check the SWR after you install it.

Bill of Rights and Section 8 housing?

Yeah, and then you would have to kill me. How cliche! Did they provide you with a Segway?

When you sign the BOL, sign for _ shrink wrapped skids, said to contain _ pcs. or _ SWS, STC _ pcs. For a large piece count, sign _ pcs, SL&C (shippers load and count). If the shipper doesn't allow an SL&C, have them walk you through the count, piece by piece.

You got an AWB number from Panther? Please tell me you had to ask for it, more than once. Trying to get an AWB number or a pro number for an LTL pickup from Panther is like trying to... I dunno...like trying to make a silk purse from a road gator or driving a set of doubles through the eye of...

If the connection is corroded, chances are the coax is also. Be sure to trim a few inches off the end of the coax before replacing the connector. I'm not sure that's all that accurate. Antennas, especially fiberglass ones take a beating from tree branches, overpasses and overhead door frames...

Mace and handcuffs? Cool!

I've been with Panther since 2006. Sometime during my 2nd or 3rd week I was talking to another Panther van driver when he got a load offer. I had more time on the board. I was getting .80/mi. he was getting .75/mi. I did Canada, he didn't. He got the load, I did not. It's business. don't...

When I was with Con-Way Central Express (LTL) we experimented with the Pallet Reefer (I never inhaled). Pallet Reefer - YouTube For Con-Way, the Pallet Reefer never really caught on. It may have been poor marketing and I do remember some kind of legal issues involving the manufacturer. I...

. I bought this universal smart phone holder at Wal Mart. I took the plastic insert from an iPhone desktop charger, ground it down to size, ran my power cord up through the bottom of the holder and put some Bondo in the bottom to hold it all together. Now I have a dash mount holder/charger in...

Did you finish the other half of your Cuban sandwich for dinner?

At least you were able to get a job as a security guard, wear the duty belt with flashlight and keys. Lots of keys.

When I was in LTL the company paid for our DOT physicals and used an industrial clinic in St. Paul. The doctor was pushing 80 years and did the physical in his office. While standing and reading the eye chart, he would walk up behind you and clap his hands. If you flinched or turned around...

Police are looking for a gold Crown Victoria. Why aren't they looking for a white van, just like the one used in the Maryland sniper shootings?

What kept you from a career in law enforcement; not meeting the minimum physical standards, failing the psychological evaluation, or both?
