    Panther out of business?

    Combining loads? WOW, what a novel idea. I did that for years. But, all involved have to be on the ball, and that is a tuff gig to put in place with the status quo of the grey process out there.

    E-track load bars, what do you do with them?

    We always installed a dedicated etrac in the front at the top of the box for storage. They were high enough to afford clearance for even the tall pallets when not needed. We carried 12-15 in each truck (we did a lot of decking). Kind of a pain because you needed a step stool to store or...

    Things will be slow.

    I won't subscribe to the 'newbee juice" theory. Attitude about what they are doing plays a major role. Seen many that were on a "roll" hit their quota, laid down, then wondered wa happin'in when they lost momentum. Seems the Chef is the type that WANTS to see what's over the next hill. Many...

    Carriers and Group 401k

    After reading this thread and some other ones, i'm kinda wondering if someone wants all these grand things, and has as large a resume of background and experience in this business as stated, then why, don't they just go do their own thing, make oodles of money, then they would have plenty of...

    I guess it's just a nuther case of not internalizing what we read. Eh?

    Pay Rate

    What do you consider "nothing"? There is prolly a wide range of personal deffinitions for nothing. Also, there is a wide range of capabilitys within the "straight truck" category, some can't do too much others can move semi freight. What is nothing??

    Needing Advice

    Also, when considering your options, consider the fact that it seems you are accustomed to logging. I'm not sure where these folks get the idea that going extra innings in a cargo van is OK. Seems suspect to me.

    New Group On EO

    Well, there may be a bit of a silver lining going on here. Just read that our "our" black leaders have stated there is "no reason to force obama to pick people that look like him for impotant positions". Seems he won't be required to employ folks that can't git r done. They say he should only...

    Oil continues it decline

    Yes and, with the loss of jobs and availabel loads, don't matter what it gets down to. If you can't afford to buy it. Makes little difference if it gits to a buck a gallon, if ya only got seventy five cent. I am curious to observe how all this'll affect the don't wanna attitude.

    Iraq Trucking Jobs

    There is waaayyy too many "don't wannas" reading this to get much feedback i'm afeared. Not too many of em want that much excitement in their life. Most wanna choose their cargo and destination. Besides there thay'd have too much company for their percieved "free spirit". Having typed...
