Hi, After a day of research can anyone lend insight on any of the following please... ??? On Dekk Eclipse S-2 Georgia Little Truck Solutions Loads, runs, Miles per week or month, average rate per mile... That's it. Thanks

I need the Good, The Bad and The Ugly on Bolt. After a few years off, ready to back at it and the only question is where can I get the most miles... running idependent or running with a Company.. Any help would be appreciated.. but please stick to the question @ hand about Bolt. Thanks Dave

Good Day, After a few years out of the business, I am looking into getting back on the road... Van only this time. A friend runs Independent for LTS and has done OK. Can anyone steer me to other freight companies like LTS. I will not go back to any of the big 3 or 4... I do like the idea...

Hope everyone is well. After a 2 year hiatus (freight got really slow) I am considering coming back to expediting and wondering how freight is moving these days. I recently upgraded my license to an A so I have more choices available. Also what companies are doing the best with Straight Truck...

And while I am at it, I am interested in seeing how the Bolt Van drivers are holding up. After a pretty bad year in 09, I may be ready to go back out in a van sometime in summer 10... not sure, but once this business gets in your blood it's tough to let go. I have spoken to them in the past...

Happy New Year Everyone! I always keep an ear to the tracks about new companies and wondering if anyone knows anything about Barrett Expedite out of Arkansas. Are they regional to that area or are they like the more familiar Expedite companies out there? Let me know here or if it's really...

I am a FDCC solo driver for the past 3 years (and will always be that way) trying to find a good lease purchase. After talking to a few on this board I have found a couple and I am looking at all options. Are you under a good lease purchase? If so, would you mind sharing your owners name and...

I really enjoy this site. I read more than post, but another post about another carrier, blah, blah. As I used to tell my drivers. They are just brokers. That's it. Nothing more or less. If you need a baby sitter, find something else to do. There are good brokers and better brokers...

Hey Dave.. can you do me a favor and drop me a line to my e-mail address. I have a question and can't seem to pull up your e-mail. I am at [email protected]. Thanks and feel free to take this down as it serves no other purpose.

I parked my C unit at the begining of May to see what I could find for work at home and see if business was ever going to pick up. My question is for single C and D unit drivers (sorry teams but I already know you guys kick *** all of the time) Is it getting better?? What are you getting...

When I had vans on and worked for owners with Panther the deal was normally 60% of the gross to the the driver and 100% of everything else including FSC, Layover, etc. Of course there is a bunch of dis-honest owners who take 40% of the FSC, Layover, empty move, etc. That's A CROCK. IF YOU...

Anyone else notice Panther is way off the mark for the past 10 days?? I have heard from inside sources that load count has dropped by almost 40% compared to just 30 days ago. Probably just an adjustmant in the business world, but the typical May slowdown has arrived early and with a vengeance.

Hi All... Just wanted to let everyone know that I am back on the road for the past four weeks with Panther and things are just great. I went over to FCC for a shot in the straight truck and a van and I have to say that I should have never left Panther. The miles are good and things have...

Hi All.... I am the new owner of an older Van going on with Panther whom I have worked with before and did pretty well. BUT, I am hearing pretty good things about Express One. Are they as busy or busier than Panther? I run hard when I am out and I am really chomping at the bit to get out...

Well, finally got one with FedEx CC in a van and I pick up my van on Thursday. I plan to run as much Northeast as possible but would like the occasional long trip. As some of you know, my only expedite experiance has been with Panther (And I did well w/them)I would love to hear any and all...

Just read over the 50 or so Posts on the post buyout subject. A couple of things you have to know about Panther. If you take a load to Texas, Kansas, Florida etc... anything way out there, you had better be sure that your Fuel SC is enough to cover the round trip. Why anyone would sit...

How are solo drivers in Vans doing with Nations, Fed EX, Bolt??? How are Straight trucks doing with solo drivers with the above company's. I have tried for a week to get a hold of someone from Nations but they don't seem to return calls... (never a good sign) Just looking for miles per week...

OK... I have been with Panther for the past 2 seasons and have a good opportunity now with FedEx/Van. Really, how many miles/how much can I expect to make in this van? The owner claims that I can run 2 short runs and 1 long per week and be profitable. I am in the Boston area. I ran hard for...

Just checking as it has been a solid 6 months with the new rules. Solo drivers making any money? Is your company giving you enough time to run good loads or are you stuck with shortys all week and then out of hours??? Thoughts please...

Business is off at least 40% at Panther in for cargo vans compared to this time last year. That's expected considering fuel at Panther just won't stop putting on vans. 570 vans at last count and still growing. They have completely killed the category. There is only enough van freight for 200...
