    Thank you for the post from raynchk.

    Raynchk, Your experience with “Panther†brings to light that not everyone is living the “good life†as seems to be the general feel form the EO forum. I requested, and did receive your original post. It was not the inflammatory post that was implied by those who removed it. It is...

    Thank you for the post from raynchk.

    Greg, I agree...I always figure everyone is entitled to their opinion which we all have whether anyone agrees or not. Posts like that should be left for everyone to see and draw their own conclusions. Someone else said that every company out there has good points and bad including the ones we...

    Thank you for the post from raynchk.

    Mr. Mayfield, If you believe it cost so much to maintain the “web siteâ€, you are wrong. Unless you are willing to back up your statement “It cost alot to run this site.†Your post should be removed, “censored†since you offer no “facts†to back up your claims. Best regards, Carl...

    Thank you for the post from raynchk.

    Thank you Terry for the post from raynchk. I see nothing forming libel. As far as backing up his statements, no such demand is placed upon those who post an instantiated “rose colored glass†view. You should apply equal censorship. Best regards, Carl :)

    How democratic is this forum

    I would still like to read the censored post. Value is 99.9% perception and information is often derived from those who are not allowed to speak. Please e-mail the post to me "[email protected]" Best regards, Carl :)

    Whites turning Gray!

    My sister used a product called Wink. It is in a powder form and is only for white clothes. She said it is used alone and not with any other detergent. Whitened even all the yellowed dishtowels. I'm not sure if it is available everywhere though. She purchased it at Meijers. If anyone tries it...

    CPM analysis ??

    Thank you Turtle for your response, Your X-number is the expected life of your truck. Given that the average class 7 expeditor has engine warrantees of 250,000 to 300,000 miles, I would consider that as the x-number. Therefore the X number is divided by the vehicle cost plus interest, yearly...

    CPM analysis ??

    Thank you for your response. Your CPM, based on my own formulas, would be on the low end of CPM. That said, it is clear that your load PayPerMile is too low to support the future of your business. It is my hope that your CPM issue is confined to your company and is not an emergent trend to the...

Over the past several years (3-4) as you have tracked your CPM, what percentage increase annually are you experiencing? And, what CPM figure do you consider currently to be...

    Tires

    Thanks for the info. Since I'm just getting started in this business I will probably be asking more and more questions. The forum seems to be a great place to learn from everyone that have been in this business for years.

    Tires

    I'm buying a new expediter truck----How many safe miles should I expect out of the steer tires, and how many miles for the average drive tires before they should be replaced? Please don't answer with the depth of the tread on the tires as I know that answer.

    Thanks for info--couple more questions

    I really don't want to drive for anyone else. I've already driven semis for a company and want to go into straight trucks expediting. I already know I like driving. Do you know who that member might be? I'd like to talk to him.

    should I or shouldn't I?

    After reading some of the Q/A on this forum I'm wondering if a guy can make a living after he invests in a brand new truck and drives solo??? Is there any company better than another for getting loads for solos or are they all about the same? I'd hate to spend all that cash if I can't get it...
