    Starting expediting ?'s

    Hi roaddawg, have you thought about going with a sprinter or maybe driving for a fleet? You will have to start with a company that does not require experience. I believe Panther accepts straight truck drivers with no previous experience. Look on eo' s home page there is a link to them. I am sure...

    Need some info on Tri State and Panther

    Panther has no issues with paying their contractors that I've heard of. Panther is a very good carrier. Have friends that are drivers for them. Their only issue is they are not getting very many miles. Averaging around 1000 to 2000 a week. Got to understand they came out of the big truck, were...

    Need some info on Tri State and Panther

    Both Tri-State and Panther are good carrier. Both have cons and pros. The best thing you can do before deciding which carrier to go with is to call a recruiter from each carrier to see which would be the best fit to match your personal needs. Remember what is a good fit for one driver may not be...

    Dead Head miles a Deduction?

    Fkatz, if you read the original post from what I can understand he is saying he is a driver that does not own the vehicle that he is driving. It is my understanding you can only claim milage if the vehicle belongs to you, not to someone else. Would not the actual owner be the one that gets to...

    Dead Head miles a Deduction?

    If you are a driver that drives for an owner operater (you do not own your truck or van) you do not get to claim milage. You can only claim milage if you own the vehicle.

    Well, I think I would have to take the advise of my friend. Difference between you and me is that I know trucknlace and her hubby personally. So I know they are a team that does not exaggerate and will tell it like it is. They are the type of people that would do anything for anyone! Give you...

    A quick story

    We just had a similar issue. We got to the pick-up and found they had 12 pallets. Only 10 pallets fit on our truck. It was looking like we were going to lose the load. The weight was only 5000 pds but the issue was the number of pallets. Somehow, they did manage to get 11 pallets on and sent us...

    She knows because Doug (her hubby) use to drive for them. You won't find anyone more honest then Sally Ann or more nice, thoughtful or considerate! Actually I think in all the time I have known her this is the first negative thing I have ever heard from her so I'd say you can take it to the...
