Sitting @ a rest area between Tampa and Ocala Fla. on I-75. See a Kitty-Cat TT going southbound. On the side of the trailer under the Big Cats it said Panther Scientific Logistics. First time I've seen one of them. A new division for Panther?

Here's the problem.............W-A-Y back in April of 2005 I was stopped by the 'honorable' Texas Highway Patrol for a seatbelt violation. He did a full level 1 inspection of the truck, which passed, checked my log book and my co-drivers. Was a disagreement on if I was supposed to be still...

Unfortunately I've been 'sidelined' and retired because of physical problems. Sure do miss the road. Reading the posts keeps me 'connected' with the industry and friends that I've met thru exprditing. I have to admit that I DON'T miss all that snow and cold though. Battling the cold, the...

I need a little advice on what to do about this. I'm sure other's have found themselves in this situation. Curious on how they handled it. I drove for an van owner for about 9-10 weeks. The original agreement was a 80/20 split. Van owner brought up the 80% to me + 100% FSC, I take care of all...

If one scrolls down to the bottom of the Forums page to see who's currently online, some n have a + sign behind their names. Why do a few have it and others don't?

I lost a load the other day simply because I had my dog with me in the van. We're talking about a 15 lb. miniature pinscher..wow, BIG DOG!!! I tried everything that I could think of to apease the shipper. First he said I couldn't take the 5 small boxes, totaling a whopping 150 lbs. because the...

anyone else 'sitting' this week-end?? We were in St. Louis Thurs. nite, ALL day Fri. waiting, waiting, waiting. Finally decided to just run back to the house, cheaper sitting home than it is on the road. Talked to dispatch and they said there were 6 vans in Memphis and 1 ahead of us in St...

Is it just me or have other's noticed that the 'skill levels' of big truck drivers is obviously on the decline. I was in the T/A in Rogers, Mn. laid over for a couple days waiting to get some issues with my liscense straightened out. I was parked over on the side where most of the straight...

I drive a 2001 Freightliner, over 500,000 miles on it. The in-dash digital volt meter reads anywhere from 13.8 to 14.1 volts at any given time. There are not extra lights, etc to drain power.....basically a plain jane truck. Are these numbers about where they should be? Or is trouble brewing.

Would appreciate any info anyone has on ACDC Logistics based out of Cleveland, Ohio. I"m thinking about driving for them, but don't now much about them. They have several trucks leased to Panther II and Tri-State. Trying to get as much info as I can before putting my name on the dotted line...

Quick question, I haven't driven in a couple years and my hazmat has expired. I'm trying to get back driving and need the endorsement back. What's the routine now? I talked with the liscensing beaureau here in Mo. and the woman wasn't exactly sure. From what she said, first you have to...

The state of Missouri has been declared a disaster area by Pres. Bush. If your traveling anywhere on the eastern 1/3 side of the state, be aware of the conditions from Fenton, Mo. just south of St. Louis, all the way south to the Ark. border. I-55 is open and dry with no problems but be...

Just curious........how are people rated on here? I see some listed as senior members, members, and junior members. And how do people get ratings, and considered senior members, members and junior members? What's the difference between junior member, member and senior member?? For example, and...

I read in another post about the expected 'sitting time' involved with expedited. It was mentioned that one should find a hobby that would fit in the sleeper. What are some of the things ya'll (solo drivers and teams) do to pass the time while waiting for that next load?? I"m a big civil war...
