    Thompson Reuters News: Panther Expedited Services is for sale

    I got a $1000 bonus. I don't know if that was based on years of service or if they just really, really liked me! I had the option of getting it loaded on my Comdata card or a check. I opted for the check.

    Thompson Reuters News: Panther Expedited Services is for sale

    I was at home and OOS preparing for a 10 day canoe trip when I got a phone call about 08:30 that Saturday morning. Quite a surprise! I'm sure us Panther Partners won't hear anything more until the "deed" is done. Word of a possible sale may be preceding the deal, but right now it is only...

    Headlight longevity

    AMonger, above is a post from 2009 detailing my experience with Silverstars in my Chevy van. I was very impressed with the light output, both brightness and beam width. Less impressive was the short life span. In December I had $51.41 burning a hole in my wallet and bought another pair of...

    She may be laughing at me because she has more hair, but some day she will be thankful that she has a grandpa that puts safety first and can seamlessly integrate style, functionality, safety and personal health all into one toy. Ooh, ooh! New side business, BABY'S FIRST WHEEL CHOCK. This...

    I hate my headlights

    I would recommend replacing your headlights. I had my van headlights professionally buffed and while the results were impressive, there is no comparison to new lenses. Six months after the buffing, I hit a deer and had to replace the passenger side headlight assembly. Dramatic difference...

    Honeywell generators

    Not any more. I gave my pink wheel chock to my granddaughter. She has been sick, both ears infected and top two front teeth trying to break through. The wheel chock makes a great teething chewer. .

    Honeywell generators

    Costco will take anything back for a full refund or exchange within the first year. Even if you are returning it because the color clashes with your van.

    Structured Fuel Surcharge

    Slacker, in Panther Speak™, structured fuel surcharge really means "sliding" or "adjustable" fuel surcharge because it changes with the weekly national average price of diesel fuel. In Panther Speak™ a delivery receipt is called a Pro Bill and if you request a load going toward your home, you...

    Structured Fuel Surcharge

    The initial purpose of a fuel surcharge was to help offset erratic spikes in fuel prices. A carrier could institute a f.s.c. rather than constantly changing their published tariffs. Today it seems many carriers are using the fuel surcharge not only to offset the price of fuel but as a profit...

    Structured Fuel Surcharge

    It finally happened, today I succumbed to Panther's structured fuel surcharge. The past few weeks I have been offered loads with very low fuel surcharges. I suspected they had been messing with the f.s.c. ever since they began paying all deadhead miles. Most of the loads I accepted were within...

    Flying J/Pilot gives us the finger

    I may be a moron, but at least I have a CDL. Um, I guess being a vanner with a CDL only solidifies the fact that I'm a moron. Oh well. Ignorance is bliss and I'm as happy as a wheelchock on warm asphalt.

Have fun, make some money and don't...
