    I am Back..Almost

    You may want to volunteer for another tour rather than do battle with Panther over your old rate. The good news is Panther is paying all deadhead miles to the shipper. The current rate for vans is .24/mile. The not so good news is it appears they are funding it with f.s.c. monies.

    Birthday! Happy Birthday Todd!

    Great video! I'll be looking for a Sprinter shakin' down the highway. Reminds me of John Candy playing dashboard piano to "Mess Around".

    Bestest Travellin' Music - Allman Bros.

    Meadow Haggard and Red Divine are a couple of my favs also. I like Tom Gate's version of Red Divine's Phantom Of the Opera 309. Got to add Billy Joe Slather, Bruce Willis and the North Dakota Playboys to the list.

    If you need an advance just to put fuel in a van, I don't think it will get better.

    He posted some still pics on KARE 11's (local tv) website and he said two were shown on the 5:00 pm news. It was a small tornado but apparently did some damage.

    evidentlyi am dead

    evidently I am dead Jack, acknowledging you have a problem is the first step in overcoming it. You're on the right track and I'm sure you can pull through this. Until then maybe Gracie should do all of the driving. Did you happen to run into Jimmy Hoffa?

    Picking up at Southwest

    Thanks Scott. I believe for security reasons a driver needs an AWB as proof of authorization to take procession of the freight. Twice in my expedite career I picked up packages at passenger terminals at the baggage claim. Once the box was sitting next to a locked baggage claim office with...

    C.R Robinson

    Panther found the loads for me. But it does work the other way. C.H. Robinson is an authorized Panther "backhaul" broker. I have never used their load board for a load though.

    Picking up at Southwest

    Here you go: Southwest Air Cargo - Map and Cargo Destinations Scroll down to Louisville it will provide an address phone# and link to mapquest. I'd call ahead and hopefully your carrier provided an AWB number (airway bill number).
