    fuel surcharge LOL

    Pjjjjj, With the great Two Headed Cat we adjusted weekly based on D.O.E national average with the surcharge covering all but $1.20 per gallon based on 9 MPG for S/T. (ex: ($4.85 - $1.20 = $3.65) / 9 = .40 fsc. I got 11 MPG so it was quite profitable. It was set up as a per truck opt in/out I...

    Panther Head Quarters

    Like Dave, my visits have alway been good but everyone has a bad day now and then. Perhaps you walked in on one of those. I wouldnt let it stop me from visiting again in any case.

    Why would an owner charge a driver for tolls?

    Perhaps he is trying to justify having his drivers pay their tolls? Mine do, and while I drive my brothers truck I am paying tolls in it too. On a 60/40 split driver is buying the fuel and has the option to take or bypass toll roads. The only place I have found this hard to do is on 90 in NY and...

    Read Your Contract!

    Ok. I only asked because when I gave my CV driver the van she drove for me I was charged for QC and Vinyl because unit had been on for less than 9 months. After explaining that it was still there but under a different contract it was refunded the following week.

    Average rate

    $1.45 is starting rate for T/T at Panther if you are a new owner but right now there are many reduced rate loads "in an effort to keep you rolling" My trucks are backhauling more than they are dispatched these days though so my drivers and I can stay afloat. But things are starting to get better :)

    Am I the only one who thinks this is bull crap

    Taken just like this I have to agree pjjjjj. Prhaps it is just in the wording. I read it first as "if you dont run 3000 miles you lose 5%" having re-read it one could take it as "5% bonus for running over 3000 miles. I guess I have just seen too many screwed lately and jump to quick :o

    Am I the only one who thinks this is bull crap

    Sorry Dave, I rarely disagree with you but I cant for the life of me come up with a way to justify punishing a driver for not reaching a set amount of miles unless those miles were offered and refused. If this owner doesnt think he can pay the percentage he shouldnt offer it. I know a few who...

    Another newbie ? to the mix

    A lead driver has the last word in our trucks, but a good lead will discuss every move with his codriver. It is, after all, a TEAM truck.
