BlueEngine, I am located in Michigan and most of the drivers I hire are from around the surrounding area. I addvertise in the local newspapers and in Michigan Works program. Tony

One rule I have is never ever hire a driver with out meeting this driver in person. The way my process starts off is we run a phone interview first, then if we think the driver is qualified we ask him or her into the office for a one on one interview in person, after this we discuse weather we...

One thing I find funny in all this if you were to go back several months in these forms you would find the same drivers that are praising Con Way and how great they "were" serveral months ago were complaining about how much Con Way did wrong and how messed up it was there.

Hey Phil, I don't know about other Panther owners, all I know is about myself and I have been at Panther 4 years this Jan. and this has been a very good year for me. I have added 2 straight trucks and 1 tractor to my fleet this year. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest I would rate...

David the money is right just messed up typing in the miles there but the dollars are right. and it is edited now. Thanks for pointing that out for me and no I dont work for load planing at Fed Ex LOL:) Tony

Better believe it Dave. F.S.C. goes 100% to the person paying for the fuel period. I thought I had heard something about the feds making it a law to give 100% to the person paying the fuel anyone heard anything else about this? Tony

First off the only way to judge a load is total load pay regardless of where the money comes from. Examples: 1289 loaded miles @ $1.30 mile = $1675.70 72 Dead Head Miles Border Crossing = $37.50 F.S.C. 1289 miles @ $.12 mile = $154.68 Total load pay = $1867.88 Total miles = 1361 Rate per all...

I don't know much about Express 1 other then what I have read here. From what I have heard they are a decent company. I would read that lease over a couple of times take it to my lawyer and see what he thinks. If it is as you say you can terminate the lease with a 30 day notice I really dont see...

Couple of answers to a couple of items I read about there. Some are saying the price difference is not that great to make a difference. Well first off you have to shop around like you would with any other product you would buy. I just purchased a Hino 338 with auto trans, 84" bunk, 22' box, in...

Well personally I think all owners should be like me and pay all expences, My drivers pay for there food and entertainment costs on the road and nothing else. Also my drivers are employees to so they dont have to worry about 1099's at the end of the year either.

Personally I have the my drivers call me on any repairs over $200.00 I get woke up sometimes in the middle of the night but hey isnt that a part of being in business? If you dont want to be woke up then the easy way would be to put your money into the bank instead of into trucks. As for only...
