I'm pretty sure that's Panther's basic business plan; haul freight and make money. It's really not such a bizarre concept when you consider Panther is a freight transportation company. I know my basic business plan is haul freight and make money. If you are not willing or can't afford to...

While you may not be able to treat injuries with popcorn, it can be used for more than just a tasty, nutritious snack. Popcorn is absorbent. If terrorist were to blow up the Montcalm sewage treatment plant, pantyhose stuffed with popcorn would make an excellent spill containment device. If...

Interesting and informative article but I must take exception to the use of "Wind Chill Factors" in the article's title. The wind chill factor or wind chill index is mathematical formula used to express the feeling and effect that wind combined with cold air has on exposed human skin. It does...

Cool! What state did it originate in and where did it deliver?

I think he entered the word "rubbers" in the search function.

Blagojevich got sentenced on Wednesday, I'm sure its just a coincidence. Although it would be a nice way to build a little nest egg and help defray his legal bills. My I-Pass and related credit card account are fine. I still have my one remaining kidney, but I can't find my cantaloupe though.

He's got my vote should he win the GOP nomination. If he is on the ballot in 2012 he should win by a landslide. Every Republican will vote for Paul if for no other reason than he is the lesser of two evils. Every voter who voted in good conscience for Obama in 2008 based on his platform of...

Were any E.O. members plaintiffs in the Currency Conversion Fee antitrust litigation? (CCF) On October 5, 2011 the Court authorized disbursement of available settlement funds to more than 10 million people who submitted claims. Last week I got a check for $18.04. I had forgotten that I joined...

Cheri, are you sure this happened when you were with Panther and not Con-Way Now? Most of my Panther QC messages come late in the afternoon. Con-Way Now got a new V.P. of safety in the last couple years of their existence. He was fond of sending out inane safety message shortly after 09:00...

Is this a complete news article or has it been heavily edited before being posted here? It reads as though it has been cobbled together like some kind of Franken-news. I wish my state legislature would take a year off between sessions.

Sorry, my misunderstanding. I thought you may have teamed up with Harvey. So there is no reason a team operated truck can't make a delivery time based on these parameters. So what if you can beat a truck by 30 minutes. Who cares as long as the delivery time is made. Sure its a bonus to some...

"We're", as in we are? Who's the we? Are you a team? Most reputable and safety conscious expedite carriers book loads based on 45-50 mph transit times. Most reputable, safety conscious and business savvy O/O's drive at the posted speed limits or less. I can't see an advantage time wise to...

mjm, I apologize. I got the 7300 GVWR for a 2500 from a 2004 spec sheet. I'm thinking it was a misprint because the weight wasn't much over the 1500's GVWR. .

Cool visor!

U.S. 191 between Big Sky and West Yellowstone.

No, our unique selling point really isn't unique at all. It's basic economics; why pay for a truck to haul 2 or 3 skids under 3000 pounds?

I guess maybe not by much is a relative quantity. To me 30% over gross is way to much. A GM 2500 has a GVWR of 7300 pounds. The base payload is in the 2300 pound range. Check the sticker on your driver's side door jamb. That is your GVWR. It doesn't matter what weight your license plate...

I see I'm too late to offer this song for your trip. You would have had to play it backwards because you are running the trip backwards from the song. Playing the song backwards may only get you "Paul is dead". Maybe if you get a return load to Tulsa you can play it. Anyway, here is a link...

Thanks Lawrence! I was real close to canceling my E.O. membership over this, this... this blatant oversight. But, I still think we should ban the van from the expedite industry.
