I avoid California in General. They can have it.

I have a ford E-250 and have been running an extra battery in the back for about 4 years. It now wants to 'die' after about 2 hours of using a 300 watt inverter for only about 2 hours. I assume I ruined the charge and discharge cycles this winter when I introduced a 12volt electric blanket but I...

You guys can all bash Panther all you want but with that being said if you know how to work within the system, take profitable loads and be professional meaning do your job and do not be LATE, EVER, life at Panther can be rewarding. 10 years running for them and each and every year I have...

I have never cursed or shown anger at a dispatcher in 10 years with Panther. Safety on the other hand I have. Dispatch is not personal. they know me and what I will and will not do. BTW. get plenty of work and I have already achieved silver status with 3 weeks left in June. Freedom of Speech so...

@blizzard For the record last YEAR I drove 71K loaded miles. 3180 paid for DH miles. I drove 104850 total miles and earned just over 77K in total revenue. It is not hard to make money out here but most of these whiners think their schit don't stink and think going to Canada is too difficult or...

Whoa wait a minute guys. I have a 2008 Ford E-250. I bought it used with 7189 miles on it. Today I am over 414,000 miles and maint wise I have put on a 6 tires, a alternator, a battery, front and rear brakes, a front left side ball joint, a few headlights and wiper blades, and a front spindle...

Laural or Lori Ohio to Romulus MI then off to Chicago then Emporium PA then St Mary's back to Chicago. My first week. 2003, June 10 year ago. OMG. 10 years. Two vans and still driving. Oh well.

Considering you have a CV and DH is mostly covered the only real consideration for a small load is A does it take you ta better area and B is it later in the day or early in the morning and C what are the loads like in general where you are located. I have been with panther for 10 years and I...

I drive a van and have noticed that my van gets better mileage using filling up at BP where TA use them compared to the cheap gas Pilot uses.

I have been at Panther for 10 years, well in June that will be true and I will run for less then contract rate if it going in a direction I want to go or to a better board or it is really hot or cold. I ran a .70 load for 814miles to canada this past week. A buddy of mind got an offer for...

is that dead wings casket from when my Preds knocked them out of the playoffs last year?

I run for Panther and drive a CV. From Jan 9th, when I came off Christmas Vacation to Feb 7th I did 9411 loaded miles then the following two weeks I combined for 215+638 that equals 853 and then last week I just did 1912 and Monday I am pre-dispatched on a 590 mile load. I do Canada and I have...

Well put. Did you consider opening a warehouse or two in the Zona border much like in the fashion of Laredo Tx to Mexico where California Compliant Trucks can pick up freight headed in and bring out freight to be swapped there headed east? California hates capitalism but loves spending and...

Try getting repairs to your Cargo Van in Canada. Go a transmission rebuilt thank goodness it was under warranty but a water pump installed will set u back almost 700$ and front barrings will cost almost 500$ installed.

I do not idle my van and what I have is this: I have an extra battery in the back that I disconnect from the main battery and run a 25$ electric blanket that works off a cigarette lighter adapter and I have a Buddy Heater with 20lb propane tank to use when the battery dies after 6 hours. I have...
