    Cargo van driving for panthers

    I drove for them back in 99... Things changed since then, from what I heard, they have thousands of rules, not so many loads and most of them are short runs.

    Damn, inflation hit sprinters hard.

    I'd stay away from promasters... I had three in my fleet and all three engines died around 200K miles...

    Military Freight

    You must be US citizen. Last time when I had a military load, I had to fill some paperwork and fax it back, but the funny part was at the gate: they didn't let me in! I had to wait by the gate till two guys came to my van and grabbed the freight...

    Can you make a living with one skid

    Many years ago, to be more exact, it was in 2001, few days after I signed with Nations, while I was waiting at Flying J in Blacksburg, SC, I met this guy from Chicago (I can't remember his name), he was driving for Panther, actually he was one of the very first drivers that signed for Panther...

    Can you make a living with one skid

    Speaking about that Connect, few years ago I saw a Nissan NV200 unloading one pallet, I believe that happened in Laredo, but the minivan was registered in Indiana, if I'm not mistaken... but since then, never saw another mini doing expediting...

    Cargo Van Need Advice! Given a Opportunity I believe.

    When I switched from 18 wheeler to my brand new 97 Savana, I was pretty disappointed. I missed all that comfort a big truck can offer you, and I was just about to move back. But when I was passing by the chicken houses, not keeping a log book, and driving as long as it pleases me, I said "screw...

    Cargo Van Need Advice! Given a Opportunity I believe.

    I don't understand GM's stubbornness to stick with their old fashioned Savana/Express model... when they were owning Opel, why they didn't bring Movano over here?

    Cargo Van Need Advice! Given a Opportunity I believe.

    Whenever that purchase will be, I do not recommend the ProMaster... I had three and for all of them I had to change the engine when they reached 200K miles... if a Nissan NV2500 fits your needs, go for it! It's extremely comfy, smooth ride, although not too cheap on gas, but me personally I'd...

    Cargo Van SLC is a good place to wait for freight?

    LOL Not $2, only 1.25... I don't think there's a carrier who pays 2 bucks for a long run... if possible, they would pay even less than 60 cents...

    Cargo Van SLC is a good place to wait for freight?

    Howdy y'all! I delivered this morning in SLC and since this is the very first time when I'm in this area, I have no clue if this is a good spot, or should I hit the road eastwards, where the freight is?

    Canadian Trucker Protest Backlash

    "Truckers Convoy's" it's been organized in Europe as well. Truckers from the whole Europe were trying to gather in Brussels... not sure if they made it, since the Belgian "authorities" were blocking roads towards the European capital, as well as the Brussels main streets that leads to the...

    Sprinter cargo van load board

    Your friend should be happy for paying only that much... last time when I had insurance from progressive, I was paying over 1000 per month for each vehicle. Also with clean driving record... and while the freight wasn't keeping my trucks busy, the insurance was keeping draining my account. Then...
