My husband and I are trying to get into the expediting bus. We applied for a company called expedite solution and got approved to attend their oren. My husband found some info on the company on a site called Rip off report. The drivers on the site had nothing pos. to say on this company. We also got appov. by Panther. Can anyone tell me about these two companies. I am leaning towards Panther, but I need some real info, not the same old recruiter talk. HELP.

I would strongly suggest that prior to doing anything you delay long enough to read back at least a year in the general, newbies and recruiter forums. That doesn't mean read every word, it means go back through the thread titles and read the ones that sound informative. There have been a number of posts about Expedite Solutions and hundreds of posts about Panther. Good luck.

You mean you didn't see the Ripoffreport posts about Panther ? You can't please everybody . Sooner or later there will hardly be a company out there somebody hasn't posted a ripoff report about . The Panther reports concerned fleet owners though , not Panther itself . If you apply to a fleet owner get names of current and former drivers for references .

There are ALWAYS two sides to every story, rip off report has it's own baggage.

Seems no one ever sets up websites like "praiseforthisbusiness.com", but only forums devoted to negative comments. As mentioned previously, there are always more sides to every story. Do your homework, talk to as many people as you can whose opinion you can trust, and hopefully you'll be able to make an educated decision on what will be your best opportunity. Good luck to you!

after reading several different sights on expedite solutions it appears that it is two individuals (passably the same H&W team) making the big stink, and they sound how do i say this politely ....... a bit out there. they claim to be making it with somebody else but i don't see how, unless they are just being paid by the mile to drive and even then it's a wonder really, reading what and how they write. kinda sounds like the expect everybody to pay for there operating cost like a employee not running your own business

no one company is the prefect fit for everybody. no matter who you go with, read and understand your contract

We have had a great experience with expedite solution.and are making decent money with panther. this weekend is the first we actually sat in a long time most times is none stop running with loads lined up before we get there.yes the first 90 days was a little tight but what business endeavor is not?

I agree, the Internet is always the place to post the negative
stuff and you rarely see the good posted. I did a look up on the
BBB ( Better Business Bureau) for Expedite Solutions 3617 East
Raymond Street Indianapolis, Indiana 46203 and they have no
complaints against them. Doesn't mean they haven't had drivers
complain or made their own mistakes but they have been a BBB
Accredited business since 06/30/2005. and they have a
Satisfactory BBB Rating.


To have a Satisfactory BBB Rating, a business must be in
business for at least 12 months, properly and promptly address
matters referred to it by BBB, and be free from an unusual
volume or pattern of complaints and law enforcement action
involving its marketplace conduct.

In addition, BBB must have a clear understanding of the
business and no concerns about its industry.

Just my 2 cent worth. I don't know Expedite Solutions or
anyone associated with them. Just doing my home work as I
too am looking to start Expediting.

Warm Regards,

Recommend you look at Expediter Services as well. We are very impressed after 45 days.
*Pay is correct and on time every week.
*Equipment is late model and well maintained.
*Friendly and helpful staff to answer all questions and give advice with someone always on call after office hours.

We were placed in a White Glove D unit leased on with FECC and have had all the load offers we can handle.
They are a very large fleet owner and appear to have ample financial resources.

good luck!
