Phil your cheap freight and my cheap freight are not the same. Our expenses and are not the same and our truck replacement costs are not the same. We also have health insurance, retirement expenses as well as a retirement plan. Since you were offered the load it would be a light load and...

I could not wipe the grip off of my face on how well this truck ran and slowed. There was some concern about us having ONLY 370 hp and 1650 torque but... the truck flew up the hills and going down the hills I used the jake on the low setting to maintain speed and did not use the brakes...

We seem to be getting more load offers going to California and as a dry box we are seeing loads different then the reefers. We were out there the end of last year and were able to stay running and we have been out there twice this year. All of these times we stayed moving and within 24...

As unskilled labor how much is our time worth sitting at a dock doing nothing? We have the option of taking a nap, watching TV, going for a walk and I cannot see many people in the government thinking that time is worth much pay. What happens if we are going to be in there very long? Shipper...

Here is a threat about the truck. I will add pictures when we get out of the rain as we have added our Air Tabs and Tool Boxes. We do not have our wheel covers as they modified them and we will get them next time home. We can haul 16,500 and what we are fighting is a heavy front end which is...

Within 24 hours we were out of there as well with a nice run to Washington now...

Hey glad to meet you and finally say Hi in person. It does look like a FCC convention here and it is cold...

Thanks for the pictures I have received so far but I still have aways to go! Panther guys I could sure use your help.

If you want a GPS buy a GPS and take it with you when you move on. There are still many die hards who do not see the need for GPS's.

I need pictures of Expediters as well as Expediters and their trucks. I need trucks from all companies for a slide show that will be shown to prospective expediters at the next EO Workshop. I am working on a slide show that will be shown behind Bob and I while we give our presentation. As...

We had a very successful call with Anne today with over 163 people on the call and this does not include duplicates of people who dropped off the call and called back in. This was our first open call to the public and we were thrilled with the participation. Anne was on the call for an hour...

I have known contractors that FedEx that have had their leases terminated that Panther snapped right up. I imagine it is a two way street on this issue.

DOT must be taking notice of this as this is an accepted practice. I for one would sure rather they use a lock of my hair.

Interesting that more came out with positive drug tests: Transport Topics: C.R. England to Use Hair Samples as Part of Drug-Testing Partnership C.R. England Inc. and Omega Laboratories Inc. announced a drug-screening partnership that will test the hair samples of truck driver applicants. A...

Pictures taken of the track as well as the need to bring lawn chairs to the races.

We enjoy dirt track racing and found this track that has plenty of truck parking and would fit a semi and trailer. There were several classes of cars and the track was run very well. A nice feature of the track is the way it is set up we did not get covered in dirt. If you are stuck in Lufkin...

Hey thanks for the chuckle.

The thread is about the fact there is no law that says we cannot sleep in the top bunk while going down the road. To sleep in the top bunk without restraints would be ludicrous as the movement is amplified.

Cheri I agree 100% with you. Expediting in my opinion is to erratic to have a family life with kids. I wanted to drive a truck from the time Bob started as a diesel mechanic and am I glad I waited till the time was right. I loved every minute I was able to spend with our girls while they...
