    Read Your Contract!

    I recently parted with a company who is located in Saville, OH. I took off the Qualcom myself, and drove it up to deliver it to the company. When I got the summary of my expenses, I noticed a charge of $250.00 for Qualcom Processing. I found this to be excessive because the only thing the...

    Drivers Council 1st things 1st

    I wish everyone running for drivers council the best. My suggestion for those running is to look at the minutes from the first meeting of the present council. You will see that we suggested over 30 issues for the company to address. Decide for yourself how many of these were even...

    Stop It!

    I have never see so much garbage being spread in my life. The country has a new President elect. Sorry if you don't like it. You say he is a socialist because he wants to spread the wealth. If I remember right isn't that what Jesus was trying to do? It is okay to spread your hate...

    Drivers Council

    Well, November will be the last month for me on the Drivers Council. It has been a very interesting year. We started by identifying 31 items which we thought could benefit the drivers. To date I think 1 of these has been addressed effectively. I must say that all of the council members...

    Loads for individuals

    About a year ago I read about a company that puts drivers together with people who need something moved. It could be a grandfather clock or a load of items sold on ebay. I have searched the archives, but haven't been able to find anything on the company. Does any know who they are, or how...

    Ambassador Bridge Security changes

    Has anyone had trouble crossing into Canada since new regulations took effect on April 1st? I was told that my PARs had not cleared and send to secondary inspection point. There, I was given a warning and told that your PARs must clear before you arrive at the bridge. That could be big...

    What do you think?

    I have learned alot on this forum! Obama is a radical Muslum. Clinton is ugly. Kerry makes stupid comments. These will all be helpful come election time. It is always good when someone can show me how bad candidates are. I sure don't want someone ugly in the Whitehouse! Someone with a...

    Dispatch selection of trucks for loads

    I think most everyone agrees that the only fair way for seleting a truck for dispatch is 1st in, 1st out. Companies have tried to change this system for several years. I have seen a truck dispatched for a pickup only because in was sitting closer to the pickup by as little as 50 feet. Now...

    Evolution of an Expediting Company

    The recent purchase of Conway by Panther got me to thinking about how companies evolve. A company starts out with a few trucks, and provides excellent service. This company grows, and continues to add trucks with contractors who can do a good job. At some point the company thinks that the...

    Panther II policy update

    I recently took a 8 day vacation, so like a good boy, I took myself out of service. When I returned, I was given a run to Ill. Along the way, I asked my wife if my settlement statement had arrived for the runs which were due to pay. When she told me no, I called Contractor Relations. The...

    I just learned from my friend Dutch that Phil Dennis has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Phil has been in the business for several years, first with Roberts and most recently with Panther II. Phil will be having his 70th birthday this month. Why don't we show him that we benefit from...

    Care and Feeding of the Owner Operator

    The sale of Panther II got me to thinking about what the perfect company would be from the Owner Operator's point of view. I know that the company needs to make money, so these ideas are ones which I think would help both parties. 1. Give raises to drivers who stick around. I know of very...

    Air Vent for a Chevy 3500

    Terry and Rene should know the answer to this one. I just broke down and bought a new van. Would like to put air vent on the roof. Preferably one that closes when it rains. The dealer checked several places in the Knoxville area and was unable to locate one. He couldn't even find anyone to...
