    Not Happy like many of You

    The thing is, if you start turning those down from the very beginning, you get no sympathy from Dispatch. On the other hand, if you take a couple or three of those, and then when the next one comes in you tell dispatch, "These shorts loads are all I've been running, and I need a longer one," and...

    The sad thing with the practices of this carrier is the fact that most of these crap loads or what I call shiz loads are bidded on NLM etc and the carrier is the only one profitting from it:mad: 90% of there buisness is load board not called in customers!!! The customer doesnt care who does it...

    Arrow truckers

    These drivers are contractors for a Fleet owner at panther so they are to blame as much as panther being tight and not offering a empty move after the drivers have been on home time for 2 weeks prior to christmas.Home time for the most part is a joke and seldomly works for me.

    Yes,I know now that the council is nothing more than a forwarding of problems to panther.I was under the impression that the council actually had rights to implement changes and negotiate with panther on the drivers behaf.

    Panther Refusal Stats

    The 67% number itself, as in a pass-fail, above-or-below scenario? Or is the number "itself" the actual Acceptance percentage, and a 97% trumps a 92% for board position? I think its by the actual number your acceptance is.Which in turn determines your board position.99% bumps a 97%

    Panther Refusal Stats

    I think its by the # itself The only thing I don't know, and I'll have to find out, is whether the Acceptance Percentage is a pass-fail thing, above 67% you go to the top of the board (in POD time order), below 67% you drop to the bottom. Or is it a situation of the percentage itself...

    Im not sure if thats true by what I've seen in Chicago,The O/O was bumped everytime another truck with a higher acceptance came on the board.Please clarify the rules for us all so we can operate accordingly!!!!The 15 minute acceptance was a joke from the get go.Most could decide in less than 5...

    Is this normally what you would get under your contract? The problem is the vans dont get that much for DH if anything at all.I could see a straight truck having no problem doing that load,under those terms.
