    Ability to See Your 'Pals' on a Board

    I can't believe what I'm reading. Something so simple becomes so very stupid with the comments. Leo, Scuba, I like both Ideas and both would work without a problem.

    Why is it?

    I find that many of these questions are because Expediting seems to be a entry level business. Many have not been in the trucking business before and they can start with a straight truck or van. They are asking these questions because they are trying to learn the business. Many jump into this...

    Deadhead and team miles

    We to have gone to the all miles paid and no longer worry about the DH miles. I'm sure if I figured out my DH it would almost be as many as the Loaded miles. This has given us more opportunity.

    New trial Pay Rate @ Panther

    I have a few questions. I know that there are some T/T trying the new pay rate at Panther. From my understanding it is 1.30 for loaded and DH miles not including empty move miles. Also they are paying a FSC on the loaded miles only. Our cost of fuel would be 1.20 based on 6 MPG. Is there anyone...
