Last weekend I had a load from Erlanger, KY to Springerville, AZ (desert). On my way I stopped at the Laguna Superette in Laguna NM. It is off of I-40 and is part of the Laguna Indian Reservation. I got gas and went inside because there was a sign on the gas pump about a "Laguna Burger."...

Okay, maybe my fellow van expediters are not really all serial killers, but come on..... I find my van pretty comfortable. It is just a Chevy 3500 Extended that I have customized, but I have plenty to keep me busy inside. Later on today, I will be in the back watching the Dickies 500 on tv...

Okay, sometimes things in life make you wonder if you are really the biggest idiot around. Back in mid-March Panther sent out a broadcast qc message stating that we were no longer using Adminserv-Livingston as our ACE provider and that 1) the documents would be updated on the website and 2) we...

Hi All, I am delivering in Salt Lake City UT on Monday morning. Based upon your previous experience if you are in a Panther cargo van, what would you do? The only other time I have been this far west was Prince Albert SK and I had to go to Wichita KS to get a load. My only plan thus far...

Hi Gang, I was taking the seats out of a passenger van in order to lay down my plywood but am having a problem. There are 4 runners that the seats latch into. I do not see how these come out except for maybe to unbolt them from underneath the van. Anyone have experience removing these from a...

Hi Terry & Rene, I headed to the ole' Fifth Wheel in Milton last week and low and behold I found y'all buttoned up catching some zzzz. I looked forward to meeting you but fortunately/unfortunately I got a load after only about an hour. Brian Panther 2635

Hey guys, I drop in Millville NJ first thing Monday morning. I have had horrible luck getting out of the Philly/NJ area. What suggestions do you have as far as relocating after I drop? Thanks, Brian #2635 Cargo Van since 11/04

Hi gang, I am just curious about the general workings of a QC. The typical pattern it appears is that when the ignition is on the QC is on of course, and it stays on for about a half hour after the ignition is turned off. What does make me wonder is when I am sitting with the ignition off...

Hi All, I was telling my wife that I hate dropping in Michigan because it seems I can never get out. Oh, I get plenty of runs that within the state, and I will literally run all day with maybe 200 miles to show for it. 200 paid that is with about 500 total miles. Picking up a straight truck...

Hi Gang, I need help with a power inverter issue. I use a y-splitter from my cigarette lighter. One of the females I plug my cb or cellphone charger into. The other I plug my power inverter into. Coming home the other night, I was moving the female plug I use for my cb around and it made...

Okay, stupid question of the weekend. Do the Jiffy Lubes and such service smaller diesel engines such are in the Ford vans? Brian Cunningham Panther Cargo Van Since 11/04

Hey everyone, I currently drive a regular sized 1998 Chevy Express but stopped at a dealer to look at some new extended vans. The dealer didn't have any but I took a gander at a box unit based on a Savannah. All the room is really tempting. The ability to take additional or very high skids...

Hi all, I plan to start with Panther II soon but am waiting to be hooked up with a Fleet Owner with a cargo van. I browsed the classified ads to see what I should expect but they vary pretty much. 1) The cut usually seems to be 60/40. I assume this is fleet owner/driver? 2) Some of the...
