I took my old mule to the graveyard last year, '99 GMC 445,000 mi - I made del to all GM and Ford plants both US and Canada. That is a myth invented by some carriers to make them look good on your expense. That is the same situation with those telling to buy a Sprinter to get contracted. They do...

While I was signed up with pink panther I was sitting behind a friend of mine's shoulder looking on bidding expediting boards. Everybody is selling their o/o down the river for a few pennies. One solution might be forcing the carriers to pay for the QC. This way maybe they will think twice...

Not sure if there is more CV out there, but surely much less loads. 51,000 manufacturing sites have been closed in the last 12 years. Some corporations even got a tax relief from GW Bush government to move their factories offshore. There are our politics at work.

Express-1 was bought by a billionaire this June. Possibly next year all that blank units that mushroomed after the 2008 crisis will vanish.

WAW 1. it starts with JAX to LAX and then becomes MIA to SFO two lines later. Nobody pays attention and continues to wander into the woods. Maybe it was just day dreaming while moving empty to ATL. 2. FL "tools" is repeatedly discussed and answered without correction. It is TOLLS not...

I ve been with them in 2008. Panther is a corporation with poor management (lower and middle) and a "flood the market" business model. They cannot ratain drivers almost at all. Hundreds of drivers go through this "boot camp" of the Expediting world every year. So they just come up with all kind...

I know the moron who took this run. He got 85 cpm. He lives in the van so he doesn't care where the next load goes to.

Forget the price for this run. At any given day there are at least 10 cargo vans in Laredo. Unless you have exclusivity for this load/shipper how comes no other broker covered it, in let's say 30 minutes? And how can you hold it for hours and hours until somebody reads your post on EO?

Grand Marais, MN. On the way the to/back to Thunder Bay, Ontario. So beautiful (in July of course) i have "lost' a week of work there.

I have applied several times online the last 18 month. They never answered. My advise is to try some live contact over the phone. Good luck.

They are so "friendly" that drivers prefer to stay jobless than drive for Panther. My friend was looking for 2 drivers, 1 for Panther and 1 for other company. He posted the other company ad first. After he filled the seat, drivers kept calling him and he said the position was taken already but...

attn truck drivers: your opinion is very important. But this smart move is for vans ONLY. The load ratio for trucks is about 2 loads/truck. Meanwhile, for vans there is 1 load/4 vans. Since the EM (empty move) program was killed in December, we have to invest ourselves to relocate back to...

At Flying J in Knoxville the price went up from 3.60 Thursday afternoon to 5.00 Saturday morning (almost 40% more). I checked about 7-8 gas stations in the city, it's 5.00 everywhere. In Florida is called price gouging and it's illegal. In Miami area the price is still 3.70 (I called my...

I live in Miami since 2000 and I ve been through 5 hurricanes since, of which 2 landfalled in my back yard, including Katrina (was cat 1 at the time though). This storm was worse than the hurricanes. Quite scary. It is true I was in a concrete home during the hurricanes not in a van, rambling on...
