I rarely get loads under 200 miles. Unless I'm near Detroit, of course. Panther is running me ragged! My van is piling up the miles

Get that 70% and full FSC in writing!! That's an awesome rate. What kind of truck will you be driving?

God bless OOIDA on this one, for helping Congress think twice about helping big business at the expense of road safety for once

I agree that the soldiers are caught in the middle. But seeing them come home with arms and legs missing because of a 1000 year old conflict between religious sects is unacceptable to me. And they have to fight with one hand tied behind their back. I voted for Bush and am "conservative". But I...

I don't like doing short runs just like most anyone else. My saying in the 17 years I've been expediting is- the shorter the load, the longer the problem. Seems like every time I do a short run, I find more delays at shipper/consignee, traffic, wrong pprwk, etc... I agree that sometimes you lose...

Agreed. We live in the best place in thew world, by far!! We can get any thing we want, any time, anywhere!! How many other countries can say this?? You have 1000 choices for everything; food, clothing, where to vacation, cars, etc... Yet people act like their first born was taken from them when...

What I am saying is that there are SHORT AND LONG runs. Get it? Why should you take all the long ones and not do your share of the short ones?? WHO will do the short ones if you or I do not?? Should Panther or FedEx or whoever not service their customers by refusing to cover loads that are less...

There are two types of people who drive out here. Ones who make money and ones who make excuses why they don't. If people are too picky and turn down short loads all day, I can't imagine their carriers putting them at the front of the line, especially at Panther. Those people should be dropped...

You're in the wrong business then. Expediting doesn't work that way. I doubt you've been in it long anyways

Ditto, Panther has been running me off the hook. I keep hearing how vans are starving, but maybe it's some of the ones who refuse half the offered loads, trying to weasel all the longer ones. Or maybe it's the ones who won't run Canada. Fine with me, cuz they all should have their contracts cut...

Man, its scary how desperate people seem to be to get into this industry. How much profit can you make in a van after putting out 1900 a month?? Another reminder of how valuable I think I am owning a van as an expeditor. 5 guys are waiting for my spot if I get my contract cut

To accurately rate your carrier, I think you need to judge them upon a yearly time frame. After being with RoboFedex for 10 years, I started with Panther in Sept. 06. The first 3 months were the most profitable I've ever had in my whole trucking career with a solo van. I actually grossed over 3K...

Maybe an asterisk or some other subtext could explain any condition or deduction from the company's posted rates?? Also, maybe some checked columns on who provides comdata cards, who has QCs, Trip-pack, discounts for tires, etc... Kinda like a Truckers Friend for expeditor companies?

1) Why not put a small icon next to the user's name indicating the size truck they drive? Like a little C or D straight truck, van, tractor, fleet owner, etc.... 2) Also, a list of current "standard, non-discounted" company pay rates for each class,(A,B,C,D,E or whatever) in row-column on an EO...

Well put, Col.

Think their sign installer ate too many happy mushrooms putting them on? At least I can read it w/o getting up out of the bunk when they park next to me

Is that what that sound was?? I thought I had gas

Thx for info! Im gonna try UPS out, see how they run me TPUSA

Thanks for fast response! Does Dynamex run vans like Panther or FedEx CC? Or is it mostly airport and short stuff. I know nothing about them, and couldnt find a webpage with their truck specs or pay rate, etc..

Must be from Oklahoma
