Wow,and I thought the council actually had some power to negotiate concerns like this.So whats the point of electing officials who can only forward compliants?Panther has already silenced our calls and now our only channel for recourse is a council that has no power?I say every driver,O/O and...

Where are you pulling these figures from?

Bottom line,Why are all these loads turned down? Simple not enough money in it to do the run!!! Why doesnt the carrier just charge more for the runs? most will say " well the carrier wont get more buisness if they turn down a shorter load." "The customer will just go somewhere else that will...

I realize most O/Os wont have a issue with keeping your acceptance rate above 67%,although what about when your slamed over and over again with 5 crap loads in chicago bcos others wont take it or you have to dh almost as much miles as the load pays and with no extras but your contracted...

Yea dont get me wrong Panther does have the customers/freight.They pulled stuff out of thin air for me before(or it seemed)But there is a definate need for improvement in the partner/carrier relationship.I could name off a list of things as well as other O/Os could ,that need a tweek to make it...

Hopefully if its a medical reason,shes ok and you get your truck back in one piece.If its a shady deal where shes harboring the van somewhere or using it for her own personal doings,shes caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.The qc on the trucks can be disabled by unpluging...

Unfortunetly the dispatchers will count it against you 98% of the time unless you get a experienced/understanding one.you have to stay on top of your game,constantly checking the owner web for errors.If you even let your guard down once GAME OVER.It is truley sad that I have to spend a good...

The 8 hour rule in my understanding is only for when a load doesnt pick up for 8 hrs. example dispatch calls you up at 1300 for a load that picks up at 2200, this load wouldnt count towards your acceptance rate cuz its more than 8 hrs to pickup.

Wow its a whole different world for you st and tt drivers. Van drivers wouldnt even get a fraction of that in DH pay.maybee 10.00 for that much DH.I feel that It shouldnt count as a refusal for a load that has more than 25% Dh.Also no refusal for using your truck as a rolling storage for days...

Not exactly,I had my percentage drop as much as 10% for one load turned down and always atleast 5% subtracted per load turned down.It also depends on how many loads your offered during the week and thruout the 30 days.It seems with the fuzzy math going on and no clear rules and figures on...

I think untill they feel your punishment is over,or untill you fall below the"fleet average in pay for the week" then they will get ya moving again.LOL just rack up a 1k bill on the qc/ins,and see how fast they start running you.:cool:

Dave is correct its 67%,bcos thats exactly what happened to me last week.I sat in chicago 1st out all day bcos my acceptance rating was less than 67%.I usuall dont turn down a load unless its just not profitable to do. loads that have more dead head then loaded miles,or the ones where your truck...

Yes,I would of accepted that load and took a chance of dead heading out. The O/O gets the axe, I dont have time for bs!!!! I also wouldnt be very nice about telling who it was,so others dont have the same issue.

I honestly wouldnt know where I would be if I couldnt do 98% of my own repairs.The parts cost alone is hard enough to swallow.I just replaced my pinoin and seal for 125.00 and a shop told me 260.00 to do it and half a day.1 hour of my time in the J parking lot and I now have 130.00 extra for the...

Right on,there should be one

LOL Blizz, I to have become a "restaurant conisseur",stopping at every good restaurant I can find to sample their best dishes.The way I see it is if I gatta suffer in the back of a freezing/hot box,I need to reward myself.:cool:

I have found that the relocation sytem is totally useless,Panther should be more aggressive on getting trucks in areas that are needed.This would be more profittable for them as well,I cant understand there logic behind just throwing on more trucks instead of utilizing the ones they already...

I totally agree with you caffee,It takes a smart buisness man/women to get ahead in todays game.With the reduced rates,Its hard to even book a load for a cargo van over .70 per mile. I just feel theres a little more helping out, between the smaller carriers and the O/Os .The O/Os are left in...

I would have to ask company X just what their current load count is (per day)verse said trucks to determine the actual needed trucks:rolleyes:

Unfortunately only what your contract says that they owe you and the ball is in there court.The top 5 larger companies really couldnt care less about if they hurt your feelings or run you enough to even pay your bills.It would be really nice to work for a carrier,that if you put in 100% they in...
