That is what honestly really blows my mind.1 that they would rather transfer freight and pay for it.2 that they tell the customer that the truck is inclusive to the customers freight.3 everytime the freight is tranfered from truck to truck they risk damage to the freight (freight claims etc).4...

Again I have been doing this for 3 years now and have faired well as a solo driver.Maybee I just over expected,what a team should run.I mean 2000 a week in miles is around 2000.00 give or take gross,after fuel(figuire 600.00 respectivley,DH and relocating),200.00 food and supplies,truck payments...

I think worring about my percentages has caused me some of this greif.My new motto is if we cant make money on it turn it down.I usually try to work with dispatch and would generally accept most of the loads.There have been plenty of the mosseville cat runs that I had to drive right back where I...

All I'am saying is that a solo driver is quoted to get 1500 miles a week so why cant they in respect run a team a average of 3000?I would even be happy with 2000,But a constant load offering of 200 mile loads or less just doesnt make any sense.If they want us to be the mini team run van, at...

Cheri, I do understand that the industry is saturated with vans and it would seem that getting into a van would be a easy job to some.I just dont understand why they advertise,how they need teams,favore teams,when they dont run them any different than a solo.Makes no sense to me why bother even...

I do appreciate your honesty and also knowledge of the inner workings of panther.I hope, maybee the higher ups could respond and enlighten us all.I will make a trip to seville either to see dispatch in action or turn in my QC in the near future.You would think teams in general would be gold in...

Turtle, You dont even want to get me started on the incompetence in the scanning department.If it were up to me I'd fire them all. Actually told them that once and they just chuckled it off.It kinda worked for a couple of weeks and then right back to a month late paying some of my...

Thats how it should be!!!!!

I do not think that dispatch favores any one truck to load them more than others.I feel that its more of a share the wealth senario, where when one truck pulls ahead it gets the brakes untill the rest catch up.Again I fully understand the truck classes and different hauling specs and different...

Yes, I fully understand that some equipment will get loads before other equipment. Im talking about cargo vans and I do have a class c with haz-mat team, working on a b .I talked with and viewed others equipment in my class of truck, on the same board as me and they were in fact dispatched...

Not a normal sit and wait(which should be expected) a extended one.Where you can see other trucks leave with same equipment.

Heres my story about the Qc(back when the boards were called different names) I was in Kansas city 1st out all day on wed so I then dead head over to columbia and sit with the same result on thurs.I figuire maybee I should just eat the dh and goto St.louis.I then sit there all day friday.The...

Over the past several months,I have noticed a trend happening with my miles.I do really good then sit.I feel maybee I figuried out a pattern to the madness.Every time I sit "I'am close to other top O/O's averages",according to various panther officials. I'am starting to wonder if its a way...

Yes they finaly broke my arms backwards.Although there have been several weeks where I did average a little more on the fsc.I have grown tired of the load offer saying .45 on a 1500 mile load and paid .15 on the final settelment.Sorry thats a 450.00 difference that,I otherwise would of not taken...

I would file this shipper in the will not service box again!!!I have had some ignorent shippers before,that I refuse to go back to again!!!!I agree with fr8 on the reading a map,although I do use streets and trips and also agree with blizzard on the panther bozo show that is a constant...

Be careful who you select as a carrier.It seems alot can talk the talk:(

Well I'am affraid of being reprimanded by my carrier. But I can tell you this load count is not the way to go. I mean seriously do you feel a 80 mile load with 50 mile dh a profitable load? If so theres plenty of them!!!get yer load count right on up lol.I personally go for quality not...

How many of you had to say when to a carrier? It seems my current carrier couldnt run me,if there business depended on it. (oh maybee cuz I didnt accept all them 80 milers for a team to relocate me?)or maybee I just didnt stay available enough? (95%)Ahh jeez maybee its my saftey rating...

I was wondering if anyone else has had issues with the driver rating system at panther?It seems that if you turn a load down your acceptance goes dramatically down.I have been droped as much as 15% for one load being turned down and after I accept a load the percentage climbs back up very...

Yes I called in and verified(team) Also shows up on drivers web
