    Panther board question

    I noticed that over last Friday night/Saturday morning something changed. I live in Florence KY and would obviously show up on the Cincinnati Board whenever I was at home. At least since the Florence board disappeared and the Cincinnati board showed up a few months ago, that is. Okay, I...

    Living in Florence KY, home usually doesn't seem to be too far. I came home after delivering to the most deserted-looking ever Nissan Smyrna. Thursday, Thanksgiving with my normal family. Friday, Thanksgiving with my psychotic in-laws. I might have to start drinking for Friday!!!!

    Laguna Burger, Laguna Indian Reservation New Mexic

    Last weekend I had a load from Erlanger, KY to Springerville, AZ (desert). On my way I stopped at the Laguna Superette in Laguna NM. It is off of I-40 and is part of the Laguna Indian Reservation. I got gas and went inside because there was a sign on the gas pump about a "Laguna Burger."...

    Why Are So Many Van Expediters Serial Killers?

    Redy, Haha, I stopped timing you, my stopwatch broke. I am glad I am not the only one that has found the zombies to be unnerving. When I am on my laptop, I am in the front too, but I generally have my side curtains up. I also pull head in to the spots and try to point my van towards grass or...

    Why Are So Many Van Expediters Serial Killers?

    60MPH, Yeah, I can see your point. If your bed has a bulkhead seperating it from the cargo area then you are pretty restricted. I have a permenant bunk also, but I left the bulkhead open so I can spend my time in the back and have 4' by 8' to lounge in. Even still, the zombies creep the heck...

    Why Are So Many Van Expediters Serial Killers?

    Okay, maybe my fellow van expediters are not really all serial killers, but come on..... I find my van pretty comfortable. It is just a Chevy 3500 Extended that I have customized, but I have plenty to keep me busy inside. Later on today, I will be in the back watching the Dickies 500 on tv...

    Canada Panther ACE

    Okay, sometimes things in life make you wonder if you are really the biggest idiot around. Back in mid-March Panther sent out a broadcast qc message stating that we were no longer using Adminserv-Livingston as our ACE provider and that 1) the documents would be updated on the website and 2) we...

    "brokerage company that has no assets except software" So, Greg, how many trucks does FedEx own? MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Though FedEx Corp. was built on a cargo airline, its trucking business is now a big-time moneymaker and a tough competitor for its chief rival, UPS Inc. But the shipping giant's...

    Greg, Have you ever looked up passive/aggressive in the dictionary. By stating "I am not knocking xyz" then you do exactly that....come on. I assume you are out of high school so grow up. You made a comment about some ambiguous terminology on the Panther website. I sent back some examples...

    "I guess the point I am trying to make here is that the acquisition is still nothing close to being a Unisys, Ryder, Penske, FedEx or UPS as an all in one solutions provider. Maybe I am wrong but I don’t see the gains that others expect. " Eeek, left out some info. Also Greg, remember that...

    Exactly, regarding the "what is expedited freight" question. The load that took me from Chattanooga to SLC was one skid of batteries.....just normal batteries....an assortment of 9v, AAA, AA, C, D, ya know. Friday pickup, Monday delivery. I find it hard to belive that the value of the skid...

    I was out west in December in a Panther van before the acquisition. I stayed busy out there for two weeks before finally heading east on my own. I ran hard in Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon.

    Feline Frustration

    Like some of the other posters, I signed up for the SMS service the very first day it started and it worked fine. Ever since the "free trial" started about a month later, my service stopped working. Two calls to "my team", an e-mail, and qualcomm's website still has not made it start working...

    running money

    Panther will also front you 45% of the load at the time of dispatch if you ask them. You have to call in for each load. A couple of years back I had an issue that made me extremely tight and had to do that for a couple of weeks.
