OK PII drivers, keep supporting the company that is lowering rates by forcing a monopoly on the industry, then complain about pay. Not only that the cat is known for lousy customer service and management that cheats and threatens its drivers and owners, like the above mentioned Perrysburg fleet...

anybody? any D unit tristate drivers can tell me what their companys like now? any ex conway now drivers that can tell me about their experience there?

Was looking into a new company to go with and it seems that tristate has changed themselves alot from what they were a few years ago. i recently went to the terminal and right away you notice that the tristate workers really seem to value their drivers. there are alo alot of new faces they also...

pantherII dont have to worry about the difference between contractor and employee. they are big enough that their concerns are solely on their bottom line and not drivers feelings, pocketbook or safety. thats just the blunt truth. they have the lions share of equipment and customers. everyone...

i remember those guys. there 800 number was 800-dial-god kinda weird so who is this well known person?

the way I understand it is that this isn't the last buyout for panther2 either. it looks like they have both express 1 and tri state in their sights. both of those companies have been struggling and have seen alot of people leave. this will also push all of the smaller companies in the midwest...

No, the risk is absolute. There is no way that somebody going into a van, no matter how small the purchase price, is going to make money in this business. They would make MUCH more money driving somebody elses unit. A van is a flat out losing proposition. It's a waste of time and money, two...

Man, the van war stories. Seriously, the big riggers think they have war stories, just sit around van drivers for an hour. Although not an odor issue, when I first got into this crazy business of expedite I operated a van (this was back in '98, when vans were the mainstay of the biz) I had to...

RE: Business 30 - 40% off at Panther II/Vans in th I'm afraid that you're wrong there. The best of expediting has passed, and it is not the fault of the expediters themselves. JB Hunt has gotten in on the action, same with Swift and Werner to lesser degrees. They went to the expedite heavy...

RE: Business 30 - 40% off at Panther II/Vans in th The problem is that Panther has over recruited AND has put too many of its eggs in the automotive basket. Outside of the reefer division, they have been shortsighted when it comes to procuring freight. Of course there are going to be drivers...

I don't understand why anyone would go into a van these days. The time and work put in is not worth the return on the investment. I especially don't understand anyone trading in a straight truck for a van. It's just not worth it, either get a straight truck or a big rig and do it right, thats...

as someone who has driven for almost every one of the larger co's i have to say that Tri-State is pretty typical in the business. They have some pretty big start up costs and you will find drivers that don't like them and others who have been there for alot of years. they pay 1.15 for straight...

The companies do "play fair" if they didn't then the OOIDA or BBB would be bearing down on them. Just because you don't like some aspects of your partner, it doesn't mean they are "cheating" And as stated before, if you don't like the business, there is nobody making you do it.
