Hey, how have things been going for you over at panther. I know this is a bit off the subject, but I know panther has a lot of freight. I'm just scared of coming back to them with my own equipment and losing my wallet. Right now it's pretty much a draw between Panther and Bolt Express. Who do you think I should lease on with?
Canada Does Canada hurt my bottom line?

No more Canada for me... Every time I sat in Chicago land.. all around me would be getting the choice USA loads and I would get 'held' for crappy Canada runs where I would have to dead head out. The bonus Panther pays gets eaten by tolls and coming back so there is no bonus at all. Now, I get all USA freight and I have made more money than leaving the unit on Canada.

When I went into Canada it was hurting my bottom line as well. I would have to DH out b/c there were too many other drivers there and not enough loads coming out. Not to mention the Canadians are paying $1.08 per liter for fuel so if u figure it out that's about $4 a gallon. plus $3.75 to cross the bridge. Here's a hint if you are still going into Canada. Use the tunnel if you are an empty cargo van and leaving canada b/c there isn't a very long wait at that location.

be all most willing to bet this weeks check that was a Honda-all lock Load?
Yeah man. I was going to tell you that the day after you left Bloomington I got a load offer going all the way out to Winnepeg Manitoba. Then the delivery point was switched to a warehouse out in Fargo. I was thinking to myself, if he had only been a little bit more patient.
betcha that was the bus builders...Flyer? They have a warehouse in West Fargo....
