    Hey Panther cargo van drivers

    Well, a daily average, like 3 loads on Thursdays, 4 loads on Fridays, how many Thursdays and Fridays do you need to get a representative example? And by the time you get enough of them, you're into a different quarter where those old numbers aren't relevant. How many loads you do on a Thursday...

    Do I have enough food? Naw!

    Protect yourself online

    Most WiFi networks at places like truck stops and hotels will have 2, 3, 4 or more access points on different channels, and whichever access point gives the strongest signal relative to your laptop is the one you'll connect through. I can pull into a truck stop parking lot, say, a Flying J...

    That's because a large number of people in Mississippi are on public assistance, and therefore must choose cheap food to eat. In most cases, the cheapest food is the highly processed foods containing refined white sugar and refined white flour that contain an overabundance of carbs. Excess carbs...

    FedEx C C Snitches

    Absolutely. I recently transferred a load to a Panther Elite team van, a Sprinter. The load had to be broken down off the skid and loaded into the Elite van as individual boxes due to no forklift available to transfer the skid. I wondered aloud to the dispatcher if the other van had enough load...

    I remember once in high school English class the teacher was talking about double negatives. Said something about how a positive and a negative equals a negative, and two negatives equal a positive, but that two positives never equal a negative. I just looked at her and said, "Yeah, right."

    Plagiarism

    Being purposely disrespectful, or merely lazy, the result is the same - disrespect towards others. If that's what you think you are, then that's all you'll ever be. I, however, have a vastly different opinion of you. I don't recall ever reading (or rather trying to read) a post from you that...

    They may not do it just to be rude, but that's the result, nonetheless. Rude behavior doesn't necessarily have to be done on purpose, it only has to be done without regard for others. Ever pass someone on the Interstate only to have them utterly destroy your night vision by flooding your rear...

    Hey Panther cargo van drivers

    It's too early to tell, really. But, there are some significant problems that will have to be addressed for the new system to be successful.

    That's simply not true. Midway through Bill's first campaign as he began to garner delegates, the media, particularly the liberal media (led by CNN) began using Bill Clinton's middle name much in the same way you use Obama's middle name, actually, to evoke the emotions and feelings. Using the...

    Search Function

    It's not really word length, as in number of words, but rather the length of any individual word, as in less than 4 letters. You can't search these forums for "God", for example, but you can search for the "Devil". (Sometimes I crack myself up.) Go to Search, then select Advanced Search, then...

    Winter Fronts

    On the Sprinter, the Heater Booster keeps the engine warm in very cold weather, and allows it to warm up and reach operating temperature quicker, thereby allowing you to heat the cabin quicker. At temperatures above 41° F the Heater Booster is not usually needed. But at lower temperatures, the...

    I hardly know where to begin. I agree that in an informal setting such at this, one doesn't need to footnote and reference everything. If, however, you copy and paste large chunks of text from another Web page, it's only good manners to post where it came from, even if only to allows others a...

    Plagiarism

    People in informal community forums such as these tend to think and write the same way that they tend to think and talk to others directly. It's rare that in a conversation with a friend that one would make it a point to indicate where they read or heard something that they are using to make a...

    Van Drivers, Is Logging Really That Bad?

    My problem with logging is that my biological clock and my sleep patterns don't always coincide with the HOS restrictions. I know how my body reacts in certain situations, and it's better for me to let my body dictate what I can and can't do rather than let unyielding HOS restrictions do that...

    Tires: Nitrogen vs. Air

    That's a pretty good deal. I pay $20 to have mine rotated and topped with nitrogen, about every 20,000 miles. I do that 4 or 5 times a year.
