    New Dispatch System is really bad

    My post was an observation of Humble2drive and his decision making. My partner and I always traded off "beeb" listening. It was pretty simple with Panther and their program in 05 and 06. After he became homesick and quit, I stayed on as solo. I made my post based on a totally different...

    New Dispatch System is really bad

    I assume you are a team. Are you both awake when you are driving a load? I hope not. Why do you both have to evaluate the loads? One should be sleeping during all that evaluation. Then if you get the offer one driver is fresh. On the other hand if you don't trust your partner to evaluate...

    internet connection

    I have an Alltel aircard. The card plugs into the slot on the side of my laptop. I've had it for two years and never have a problem connecting to the internet, except in Canada. I use efax so it has been helpful in so many situations. Never had to drive someplace to get connected. I think...

    What is Expediting?

    I always believed expediting came into its own in the 80's when the Big 3 realized that if we didn't warehouse our parts and instead had them delivered the day we needed them we would save billions of dollars in revenue spent on parts in bins being taxed while sitting in warehouse ficilities...

    bord in Frankfort KY

    Just so ya know. They have mats for crossword puzzles that are made flexible enough to roll your puzzle and pieces into a tube that keeps your partially completed puzzle and pieces in place so if you get beeped you can roll it in seconds and store it. I have seen them in kiosks in malls.

    super singles

    I find it humorous that you ask a question on this forum then ridicule an answer to your question. If you had compasion you would thank the responder, then wait for other answers.

    requirements to join up with Panther

    Late4dinner, I think you need to rethink your response. I can't speak for Turtle, but he is a Sprinter driver and a lot of his posts utilize sarcasm, because of the disrespect smaller commercial vehicles seem to get. I also believe that Turtle doesn't just spout off. If you have ever read...

    Boring

    Lay Out Shoo Ter (LOST), Did you get there early or are you on detention. That might help but it is boring. At least you won't run out of hours as a solo might.

    question for panther drivers

    Sharing info with 5 othe drivers doesn't give you any idea how the industry is doing. Can't get a true picture from that. This is from two Panther drivers I talked to this winter. The first said he turned down 17 straight loads in Michigan, but he didn't say how long he sat. I don't even...

    question for panther drivers

    No one knows the answer but if you DH to a good traffic lane and get a job right away, does it make more sense than sitting in a slow area? Deadheading is usually the truck owners decision. They usually let the driver make the decision up to a certain distance. That veries tho', I imagine...

    In my extended family, Christmas gatherings were always on the basis of everyone being available to get together. The order was immediate family first on Cristmas day, then either in-laws with siblings, ( no order) , then other groups uncles, aunts cousins, early December into mid January and...

    Canada Panther & Getting paid in Canada

    Daniel, There are at least three avenues to follow. I sent you a private message to explain the options. You were told many more things in orientation than you can remember. That is why you take notes and ask questions. Dispatchers have the same conditions. Dispatchers tell you what...

    OK who did it?

    I had a great Thanksgiving and didn't take a load until Sunday night. Then snowballs........... Grog, Turtle is so rude. He didn't ask if you wanted cheese with that. I never worked for McDonalds, but I believe they pay overtime after 40 hours in a work week, not 8 hour day.
