I have read most posts on the speed limiter post and am sorry if I missed one that got to the real point and am repeating what they may have said. Speed limiters are a infringement on our civil rights. It is making us as a sector of a population do something that the rest of the population does...

I would like to know who decided on the Truck Stops for the Virtual Boards. After reading the TS availble I see that they have covered about every Flying J in the country. ( of which I have had food poisoning way to many times and will only stop at a select few) Did something change that I was...

Anyone else having problems with load not being paid out when it is suppose to be. Load pay being held up due to accessitoral pay like detention or agreed DH pay or layover pay. For us this is becoming a weekly problem. As a part of Driver council I want to know how much of a problem this is for...

The proof is in the numbers. We have always gone the Speed limit but never over 70mph. We met up with someone we know who also drives for Panther. They have a Classic and told us that they are getting 8mpg but they slowed down to 55 mph, now we have been listening to Kevin on xm 171 and have...

I have a few questions. I know that there are some T/T trying the new pay rate at Panther. From my understanding it is 1.30 for loaded and DH miles not including empty move miles. Also they are paying a FSC on the loaded miles only. Our cost of fuel would be 1.20 based on 6 MPG. Is there anyone...

If You are paying your drivers as contract labor you maybe in for a big suprise. The IRS doesn't consider them a contractor they are an employee and it is your responsibility to treat them as such. I know that this has been a general practice with small fleet owners and I feel for ya. Good luck...

Why is it that the companies that we are leased on to don’t get that while there cost of operations goes up so does ours, but yet they want to keep us locked into a contract that was made 5 years ago. My profit margin keeps going down. If this were there business they would get an increase and...

I'm asking this because with the US opening up the border into Mexico we all may be seeing this to be the case for us. I personally have a job to go back to I would have to go back to school for a while to refresh and I would have to retake my state board test I was a RN before I went into...

Today is the second driver O/O T/T we have talked to in the last 3 day's who have no operating or personal money and are conplaing about not getting a settlement for 3 wks. They even needed to have there comdata card loaded with fuel money before they could take a run. Is expediting a last ditch...

We ran into a driver who was picking up in Buffalo NY. He said to us that he had to go around several blocks due to 12'6" bridge clearance. I informed him that NY caculates bridge height from center of hub which would make the actual height 13'6". He argued with me and since NY is no longer on...

The Last week I have noticed alot of trucks sitting on the side of the road. While some are just broke down, there are many others where the fuel has gelled. Just a reminder that using a anti gel additive can save you alot of hassle and money.

On a previous thread someone has mentioned Mexico becoming the 51st state. While that is not completely correct here is the web site that explains what is in the works. http//americas-union.org/ Tis is the meeting Pres Bush, Pres Fox and the Prime minister of Canada had in Crawford Tx. when they...

It seems to me as of lately there has been alot of personal attacks on members of this forum. May I please suggest that Personal attacks do nothing but make this forum childish (not a person attack just an observation) It is ok to disagree with someone with out making a personal attack. Everone...

It is time to vote for the new Driver Council for all Panther drivers and owners. I'm just hoping that we can make a difference from other things that Panther has tried in the past. There intent has always been good but hasn't accomplished what is needed. Truck retention is important. Tunover...

We are looking to extend sleeper and remodel it does anyone know of places that do this. We have a 2000 Frtliner Tractor. I've searched the webb and can't seem to put in the right search words because i'm getting no where's. Any help would be appreciated.

Had a door problem... inside handle wouldn't work drivers side, but when you rolled the window down and back up it would pop it open. Not good when you are going thru the chicken coops. Went to Frtliner in Little Rock. I knew what was wrong there is a 25 cent clip that holds the arm to the...

Frank we have a 80 lb German Shepard that is with us in the Truck all the time. Can we write off his maintance as a security system. I have heard that you can and I have heard that you can not. Believe me not on tries to get in.
