I have really enjoyed this site while being out on the road! I hope everyone has a profitable year... but hubby and I are returning to home and local jobs. The thrill of the road is gone for us, and the sitting for long periods was starting to drive us nutts. Our youngest son has enlisted in the...

I was thinking about the auto bail out- or if you prefer loan... the consumers of autos have been through possible foreclosure of home, job loss, more than likely bankruptsy-how will these people ever qualify for finance of a new auto? It usually takes 5 to 7 years to establish yourself after a...

We always have wanted to some day own our own truck, but for now we drive for a fleet owner. They are great to us! But as we have seen a major slow down, and our income decrease- well of course they have too! Our best week this month was 2500, our worst was 755. Lots of little runs, reduced...

They are trying to sell her as a formable president but will not allow the press to interview her? Sounds like to me they needed the time to prep her on what to say, I do believe she is a trojan moose for George Bush policies to live on. Her "Thanks but No thanks" comment on the bridge to...

We are a team truck leased to the Cat... seems all we have been offered lately is short runs? It's Thursday and we have just a little over 1000 miles in! We can still pull out a week- we have before... is anyone else experiencing this? We might just be in the wrong area at the wrong times...

I have talked to a few teams and some on this site, and they broker there own back hauls out of areas- and don't wait for Panther to get them a load. In orientation they gave us a web site.. but really no step by step instructions. I know the company takes a percent, and you have to get their...

My team partner and I have recently decided to get in shape! We were going to wait to the New Year (08) to start, but we looked at each other, and decided there is no time like the present! So it's day 3 on low carb plan. I am in sugar, carb withdrawal today- but I am not hungry- so thats good...

We might be the last drivers to find this out.. but it was new news to us when our team leader told us that Panther has suspended their bonus programs. We have asked for bonuses when we go to places like Saskatoon, and know that it is really far back to a freight lane- we would negotiate a bonus...
