Those numbers are close. They are actually probably better now. Since we ran the figures our Fuel surcharge has increase an average of about 5-10 cents more per mile. Those figures are based on an "all in Rate per mile". That is not a base rate, but a figure that has all gross revenue over...

Carl, I know we talked last week about where we stood as a company and your unique situation. To answer your question to the forum, all indications are pointing that freight volumes are up. Panther set two single day load count records over the last two weeks, so I am optimistic that your...

Hello David, Panther does not require over the road experience for "d" units. We should have no problem qualifying you and your wife. thanks, PantherRecrtr

Hey guys, We are able to bring on cube vans as long as they are below 10,000 gross vehicle weight rating. I know we have a couple of cubes out there over 10,000 lbs, but we cannot take any more of them on. Hope this helps. PantherRecrtr

Tim, We do not have a lease purchase program. We do have fleet owners that are looking for drivers. We now have a policy where we can qualify a secondary driver that only has 6 months otr for team tractors. So if you were interested in getting your one year experience, we could get you talking...

We have enough work to justify bringing new contractors into the program from the north east. If you would like to call me i can give you a breakdown of what you can expect. Thanks, PantherRecrtr.

Bill, The Allentown office somewhat downsized in 2001. The dispatching that was handled by that office were moved in house to Medina. We still have several sales folks in the northeast, but they just are not based in one office anymore. Thanks, PantherRecrtr

Hello Mike, We are trying to build our fleet with more contractors that are based out of the East and Northeast. We tend to have trouble covering freight either going inbound or outbound because so many of our drivers/contractors are based out of the midwest,south or southeast and are not...

sb786, Panther uses 3/4 or 1 ton vans to run time critical shipments over the road. Panther is currently looking for both drivers and owner operators for the cargo vans. Panther doesn't own any of these vans, but we do have opportunities where we can set you up to drive for one of our fleet...

Well, we've only had this program now for only about a year or so. I don't know exactly how many drivers we have on this program. When I talk to a driver for the first time and he or she mentions that they aren't interested in running Canadian Freight I ask them why. If the issue is because of a...

Panther has a program where you are able to sign a Non-Canadian Lease. We began this program because we felt we were losing contractors who had legitimate reasons for not wanting to cross the boarder. Thanks, Adam.

RE: Would like to drive partime in the summer mont Im going to have to jump in and say that our system really doesn't work for someone who wants to go into it part time. We do have trucks that run solo for most of the year then have a teammate join them during the time that the second person...
