I just dead headed out of Akron OH to get a run, 300 miles. After sitting in Akron for a week, not being able to get a load out. What happened to Akron used to be as good as Chicago. Now it's averaging 10 loads a day (supposedly). Never thought I'd see the day that I'd be deadheading out of...

Does anyone know what board (virtual terminal) St. Louis MO falls on. Sent from my iPhone using EO Forums

For all of you guys with transits with that feature that lets you know many miles until your empty, and your wondering how much further you can go once it hits zero. I only got 12 miles past it with a 400 lb load and I was out of gas. It's my strong opinion that ford has some kinda of sensor...

When ever I get one of these pick ups between 10pm to 1am there ALWAYS late. I'm not talking 15 minutes late but like 2 to 3 hours late every time. It screws up my hole schedule. That's it. This is the last late night run I'm doing, it just not worth the aggravation.

This is the east bound service plaza west of Cleveland before the I 80/90 fork. Almost every car spot was taken. I've never seen it like this. Something is definitely happening east of here.

I'll admit I've been tempted a few times like when spot a wall socket out on sign or something. There's a flying up on i40 in Arkansas Russell something that has a wall socket on a wood stick on the corner of the lot. But I'm always too afraid of damaging the reputation we have with truck stops...

Is it just me or does it seem like panther's propensity to do swaps has gone way down. I can't remember the last time I was offered a swap, or had to give a load up on account of one. I've had a hand full of runs where I thought for sure the'll swap me and no got to run the whole thing. (And...

Any other Panther CV's having a hard time getting loads. Lately without excessive deadheading I'm only getting like 1 load a week. Once your deadheading gets to 100% of your loaded, your not running for .79 cpm anymore, your running at .395 cpm. At this rate I'm starting to wonder how much...

Anyone know why the new ford transit have 2 batteries. Seem like over kill for gasoline. And their wired parallel so there not 6 volts. I also noticed that their AGM so I guess that means I have to get a AGM house battery.

Hi, everybody just bought a new fancy transit van. One thing don't like is when every it's in reverse it makes a loud beeping noise. Any body out there figure out how to turn it off or where the speaker is for it. Until I figure it out sorry everybody for waking you up in the truck stops

"Do you want me to make you aware." This is question that is asked a lot by dispatchers, and it has always puzzled me. What happens is a dispatcher will call you telling you that they have sent you a load. And they go on to tell you, it picks up here, it delivers there, these are the loaded...

Had a sweet load from las vegas to Nashville, 1800 miles. Delivered Friday morning. I was smart enough to get here before the rain turned to snow. But I made the mistake of trying to get to a Walmart 3 miles away. Impossible stuck cars and wrecks everywhere. Ended up in some college parking lot...

In the old days all the FedEx vans would have a big colored Fedex logo. I worked as contractor for them in the nineties and I had to have one on my truck. But in the last couple of years I've notice most just have there numbers on the side. Anyone know why?

Has any other panthadons tried out the new driver app. I looked at it briefly. It looks pretty cool. You can view load offers and accept or decline in the app, change your availability status, and even sent in your paper work in. It looks like it could be the first steps to replacing the QC...

My truck still has that old roof mount on the back from the old qual-com system. I see a lot of other cv's with them too. I was just wondering if anybody has figured out some other use for them. I was thinking about trying to mount my USB wi-fi antenna to it. I'm sure it would also make a...

I've been in the buzz for four years now. And I've be to all 48 states multiple times except for Maine. I'm a CV for panther, and was wondering if any body knows any shippers out there take ship stuff to Maine regularly. So I can position my self there. Seeing the state of Maine. Is officially...

Is it just me or is one load a week the new norm for panther CV. When I started with this company 2 years ago I was averaging 1500 miles a week. But in the last 4 months even in good areas I have to sit a week to get a load. Like right now I'm in Iowa and if I called Panther they would empty...

I know if your over 10000lbs you legally have to have a bill of lading(not sure about under 10000lbs). But a lot of times the paperwork the shipper gives you seems a little incomplete. Does anyone know what info a Bol has to have in order to be legally recognized as a Bol?

I recently had a delivery by Topeka and decided to park for the night on the turnpike. Next morning I got a load going the other way. However the service plaza's in Kansas are in the middle. AKA you have to make a left exit to enter them, which means both directions of traffic share the same...

Im sitting in Ft Wayne IN a good area more loads than drivers. But I keep getting all these loads that are like 200 miles with a 100 DH. My own personal policy is to turn down any load where the DH is more than 25% of the loaded miles unless it gets me from a bad area to a good area. I...
