In Kentucky, Oregon, and a couple other states I think Idaho they wait until the end of the Month/Quarter because they charge you a mileage tax rather than a fuel tax. On our settlements all the FICA taxes are figured, when we first noticed the mileage tax back then we called to inquire...

Going up up up up up..... The highest we have paid to date $4.06 @ 'Loves' on I-74 in Illinois tonight....... Every driver I made eye contact with gave me that look like damn this sucks, I spoke with a Landstar driver that was reminiscing about the old days when strikes loomed from time to...

Nope not done with EO, just not gonna get all riled up when some folks here don't read all or understand our words, guess we also learned not to be so open and honest on here about our experience and goals ....For example when and where did we ever say we expected to run 5-6000 K a week in...

Regardless of recruiter garble, one of our objectives as we continue our dedicated 5-6000 miles a week lease is to visit with some Panther and/or FedEx and other expedited TT drivers we run across in truck stops, rest areas and the like. So far we have spoken to 4 expedited trucks at length in...

FYI- Georgia just north of Atlanta I-85, Exit #29 @ Pilot Diesel was $4.01 last night 3/12, this morning I-65 Exit #16 Indiana 'Loves' just north of Louisville $3.81, and tonight at I-80 Truck Stop in Walcott,IA $3.91 Barrel up to $111.00 is the last we heard.... OMG Can we only go up...

This news is interesting compared to the recruiter talk, we are glad we waited to dive in, guess we will wait a wee bit longer to see what affect all the current financial goings on will have on the expedited biz... Best of luck on you kids getting the loads you need to make your ends...

I've made calls to several carriers, swift, schneider, england, werner as a customer curious about fees charged to haul my freight in hopes of finding some answers, I was told between 43.5 to 64 cents a miles is being asked for a fuel surcharge from the customer with an additional 1.50 to 2.22...

We were told you can go on a flat rate for all loads or stay with the per load FSC, right now the flat fuel surcharge is competetive with most carriers, I think they said it was 41.5 cents. Most TT drivers we have spoken with said most loads they accept are 57 cents to 75 cents......this is an...

OMG! When we get going with the big black cat here in the nearer future , will we have this much time on our hands? From the outside looking in it has been very interesting watching and reading those of you engrained, we MUST remember this experience in order to enable us in remembering when...

Thanks for the info! We been waiting for this to happen, just went to the website and do plan on calling to order one next week...we will pass on the experience once we recieve and operate.... THANKS!

So pjjjj R U an owner operator or do you work for an owner? If U R an owner operator I'm a bit surprised you can make ends meet with this arrangement? But if you work for an owner, are you sure the owner is not jerking you around and blaming the carrier? whadduiknow?

Question for any experienced or with knowledge of the priority system of being next in line for UR expedited loads 4 Panther. Does the system differentiate between types of trucks in an area, I assume first Sprinter Van, or first Straight Box, or first Tractor-'53 Trailer are in seperate...

There are no 'ACTUAL MILES' paid out in the trucking industry, as the crow flys miles like trip maker are generally used, it's usually around 10% more miles than what a trip pays, though once in a while we have had a a 930 mile trip be actually 30-40 miles more due diligence in map reading and...

Please point us to where we proclaimed such experience, we have run our azzes off to the point of not stopping for close to 2 1/2 years, the first 13 months as company drivers, then we bought our truck in January '07, after 260,000 miles later putting many miles on our truck and us, we just...
