    FedEx Custom Critical vs Panther Expedited

    And I am not seeing this as negative at all...my driving partner and I have chosen to "see the country" so to speak.

    FedEx Custom Critical vs Panther Expedited

    I am looking at working for one of the two companies for independent contractors.
