Happy Birthday, bud.

Sometimes they pursue the customer, sometimes the customer pursues them. The customer's freight is a private matter between them and their vendors. That is why it normally requires a login.

Might wanna open your mind to opportunities a little bigger than just Panther.

I think they had been preying on trucks parked in shopping plazas for a couple of weeks. It's hard to steal fuel when you're dead.

They found a pickup truck like that in Tampa about two years ago. It had a 250 gallon tank in the bed. They found the owner of the truck laying next to it.......with a bullet in his head.

One reason: Liability. It keeps you off of the liability insurance, should an accident occur with an under insured motorist. In the case of a work related, non-driving incident, you are off of the GL policy.

There is a lot involved in doing this business. Being away from home for extended periods of time is something that not a lot of people can cope with.

If it already has a bulkhead built, just pull that stupid third seat out and move the bulkhead forward. Personally, I never liked a full bulkhead between driver and freight, but it comes down to what the carrier requires.

Bill, you will do just fine.

The 50% that told you on EO that running solo in a straight is foolish were most likely running team and have always done so. Also, they may have been told that by their recruiter as well. You've obviously just heard a different view from a number of prominent EO members to the contrary. I...

He's not dead, he's just restin'.

If you're going to the airport, just take the 101 down to the 110, then cut over thru Watts on the 105. At least it's for the weekend and a lot of mandatory work travel with be off the streets.

I would say even if WE were not actively contracting new folks, we are always open to the right kind of person with the right equipment to lease. Also, just because a large carrier is always advertising that they are hiring, doesn't mean that they are hiring everyone who wants to be brought on...

Those penske cubes have a body that is called Fiberglass Reinforced Plywood (FRP). Sinbce you can carry pallets side by side, I would probably opt for wall mounted e-track. Visit any trailer repair shop in your area. They can do it for you, or mostly likely sell you the materials to do it...

Good one. :D

Vince, It's about how Turri Transportation is the best company around. :D However, we're a close second.

We would be glad to run you in the NE if you had something other than a CV.

That's very true, Dave. There are evidently certain large carriers who use that propaganda consistently to brainwash their owner ops into thinking that some small business is the reason why they are unable to offer them their "normal" rate. It's a pretty tired excuse at this point. However...

How tall is the freight you've been carrying so far? If it's a former Penske, did you previously use the tie down bar that it came with? If so, did the height of the bar work for you?

A lot of places only use a rivet for every 5th hole and screws in the rest.
