I do pretty good with panther. but friday got the best of me. first out all day at detroit where they get 17 aday and not one offer. that smells like a fish and it probably is. im thinking what to do next . m a ybe tryhours

I was stuck in michigan all week(from lansing board back to romulus ) with less then 700 miles all week (twovcancelled loads going to texas) if that makes you feel better. But if Express 1 is going to be making 4 billion by 2016, they are probably goung to end up buying Try Hours.

I know its the way it goes but at least offer me some junk so I know my first out meant something

 

[wvcourier]

Yeah, I know what you mean, but I think Panther (with the support of ABF) is going to be the last man standing after next financial crisis.

You were booming for a while, now you're busting. That has less to do with Panther than it has to do with the expediting business in general. You might have a bad week or two and then it will be back to feasting again. I always thought the same way as you. I'd have one or two bad weeks and be ready to jump over to another company. That's not the answer. Panther has one of the biggest customer bases in the industry. You'd be selling yourself short to go anywhere else.

There is a really large American Legion there with large quiet parking and good meals.

Sept-Iles, Quebec, way up around the north side of the Gulf of St Lawrence. Delivered some crane lacings at a huge mining operation.

Last four hundred miles getting here on 138--from Quebec City northeast along the St Lawrence--was like driving the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia or Rt1 thru Big Sur; amazing vistas, had to ferry across one river, 10 and 12 degree hills climbing from sea level to over 2500ft in short distances, and wound around the ins and outs of the shoreline like a snake. Lots of wind, sanded roads, etc. Slow going, for sure, though the big trucks that run 138 all the time know the curves and are pretty slick in the way they power the steep grades.

Blowing like hell up here tonight and town is about all closed up.

Population here is around 26,000 and is 93% French. Virtually no signage in English and most vendors can tell the minute I walk in I'm "from away."

Have to run empty out of here tomorrow, I'm sure, but it sure is a pretty place with interesting people and well worth some exploration.
