    RE: Other Options...... it looks like to me housworth is worse than hauling for free. i wouldn't recommend this to anyone no matter what!!!! they charge 40% per month of your earned income. so if you worked your a#* off that month and made 8,000 bucks before fuel you would be left with 3200 to...

    Using Snow Chains

    Why not get into this business?

    i agree that things are alot slower this year than the previous 2 that i've been with panther. it just goes in 3 or 4 week spurts now. when last year this time of the year we were running the wheels off our truck. i have even considered getting out of the biz to go somewhere else but everyone...

    Info on Panther II

    driver pay

    thanks for the input. we were thinking of letting them pay for fuel and tolls at about 58-62%. depending on how long they were with us but our scenario was for fuel, tolls, ffuel taxes(since they decide where to fuel), and about 1.5% in there for health ins. but since nothing is started up yet...

    Is Panther II a good company?
