Well Phil, let me give you a little different prospective. The perception that some have given off over the years, has lent itself to the endorsement of being called cheerleaders. That doesn't mean all, but a review of past threads by other members clearly says that. Even a designated cartoon...

Wow.....never thought I would hear you say that. It is amazing what people finally realize and how long it takes.

Do all make that? No. There are some that do. Actually, there are some above that for all miles. Same with straights and some of the vans. Many different contracts and rates at Panther.

Looks like the best thing for Landstar recruiting has been Fedex. Good luck on the new gig.

Three loads over three weeks? Hope that was a misprint in the Fed forum. How many do you turn down? With only three loads over three weeks with a TT, I guess yamoo is the response.

Based on the extra info, it sounds like the fuel pump, or the pump sensor. A bad pump won't throw a code. A bad sensor usually will. If the filter is empty, the problem is ahead of the injectors.

I somewhat get the impression that there is numerous fleet owners based on some current posts. I am not so sure. Kinda hard to put a count to it, but I would be surprised if there is more than 75 of them now for the whole expedite side of trucking. Of that number, only a handful are real...

Now that is just bad.:D

I probably would have answered this a little differently ten years ago. Times change, and so has this business. Testing the waters with minimal investment, age, health, and a host of other items have been there for quite some time. What has changed is a continual downward pressure on...

Might work for a short period until your eqiupment is worn out.

Why not? You can run a straight truck at sprinter rates. All miles and as many as you can get.

Wow....a whole .15 cents. DH 100 and you might have enough for a candy bar. As mentioned, Good for investors, pretty questionable for contractors.

Depends on what you are buying and selling at. With regards to utilities, they can be fairly stable because most utility companies have little competition. Need upgrades or anything else, they just raise the rates.

As a potential transportation stock purchase they might not be too bad. Time will tell. As a prospective contractor or fleet owner, probably not. Below industry average in compensation and a flat rate fuel surcharge would nix them off my list. If that changed, then they could be worth a...

Goes on quite a bit actually.

Ok...enlighten me. They do recoveries and transfers all the time. Actually, we even do them for other carriers. I think you are confused.

Well......I might not answer the phone, but the wife will.:D

They are two separate issues with regards to the contract I have with Panther. In a nutshell, I control the truck, and they control the freight. Case in point. We had several years ago where a tow truck was sent but it was too small and would damage my truck. I wouldn't let the truck be towed...

With most leases the carrier has certain rights with regards to the freight, but not the vehicle. Unless of course they own or lease it.

Getting harder to blame Bush, so they have to find something new. Those darn economic terrorists.
