Pel, Sorry to see you leave expediting. It really CAN work well for you. I also have a fleet so my drivers do not own their trucks...BUT I look at their situation as if I were the one on that load. Would I be happy with the money made that day or the money on a load. I recently deadheaded...

Pel, You are the owner of your business not Panther. You need to take the responsibility to either know YOU can get yourself where you need to be or DO NOT TAKE THE LOAD. If I have a truck that unloads in Tulsa...I send them to the IL and MO border right across the river from st louis...

When a driver offers to buy us dinner we usually turn the tables on him and ask him to let us pay....I fight enough stereotypes in this business with having a trucking company owned by 2 women. A lot of people out here are jsut nice....having dinner bought for someone is just a nice...

Hey Tony, I still did not catch what type of unit you drive.....I am probably an idiot at this time of the morning :P Terri and I lived in AZ the first 2 years with Panther.....anytime we tried to go home via hometime board it did not happen....plain and simple. We learned to find backhauls...

It eventually catches up BUT...how can a system tell what board a truck is headed to? Satellite = tracking while under a load and knowing where a truck is when someone calls in to see if we can cover their load, as well as communication. -Charlotte

The reason it is not accurate goes back to US. How many people check the macro 8 and then make their decision as to where to move to based on not stepping on any cracks in the sidewalk that day and finding a lucky penny? Oh yeah, they also accepted the empty move offer just to go 75 miles in...

Tony, How long have you been at Panther...do you drive a D unit or an E unit? The traffic lanes out of Salt Lake city tend to moove north and south.....or to California. I would take a move to Barstow any day of the week over anything else if I were in SLC. Most of the loads I have been...

We run team tractor with Panther and we never have a problem with the HoS or getting rest. We do 10 hour shifts....does not matter what you do in that 10 hours at 10 hours next person takes over. -charlotte

Reasons why we expedite: 1. We believe in the "American Dream" and expediting has proven to be an extremely viable avenue to that accomplishment. Where else can you build a company with excess of 2 million dollars in revenue in less than 2 years with no bank financing......just the money you...

Beg to differ with ya Dave: From Front page: Adam Walter, Recruiting Manager for Seville, OH-based Panther Expedited Services says that due to new freight opportunities, his company needs to add 30 cargo van owner-operators to its fleet within the next 30 days. Walter states that the vans...

What graphics card are you using and is it capable of running in open gl mode? Also what game is it. -Charlotte

RE: who's your favorite all-time baseball player, Easy for me....Kirby Puckett. He was the man. -Charlotte

I think the purpose behind the text message is an attempt to answer the driver issues of not receiving a phone call that they are on a load (dispatch error) BUT it still costs the drivers a load. This is an automated occurance that happens when the load is sent to your QC..automatically sent...

HMMMM Guess it owuld have to be Have you Ever Seen the Rain....CCR and especially John Fogarty are my fave..... -Charlotte

Braveheart The Patriot Armageddon 50 First dates Independence Day The Gladiator Charlies Angels (always find some new reference) The African Queen Rooster Cogburn A Knight's Tale Bring It On The New Guy -Charlotte

That is pretty much what ours was doing as i said b4 was the EGR -charlotte

We had that problem in our 2005 Columbia Freightliner..turned out to be bad EGR. It was also brand new so under warranty. -charlotte

It is actually under development now.....and no...it does NOT have an exorbitant sign your financial life away price tag associated with it. -Charlotte

Sounds right on the money....our trucks last week averaged 3669 miles. Some lower of course some higher. 5 trucks running 3 off. (panther) -Charlotte

The key is how many empty miles a driver has to go for a load....giving up 100 miles deadhead to a load means that they probably have a minimum of 300 miles a week in unpaid deadhead...and that is I think low...DH is running about 19% atm. This is without taking into consideration moving...
