I was in the process of signing up for a load broker and he was giving me some stats on FL. One day there were 2,500 loads going into FL and 750 comming out. So you can see the averages suck and it just doesnt seem like good business to operate out of FL.

Well most of the time I get bashed for being negative as you can see my points, but I will have to agree with bigguy that it doesnt seem very likely that the dispatchers hand feed loads to new drivers. It seems more like reality sets in and most start turning down loads realizing that they are...

I know this will cause a stir, but this post combined with some other conversations over the past few days with some more happy Panther II drivers I will have to open my mouth and insert foot. I can see the two sides of the story and it is becomming apparent that Panther II is making O/Os money...
