    Lease Purchase

    Anybody have any info on the Lease/Purchase plan Panther is offering? I've made two requests for info but still waiting. Any ideas on Lease / Purchases in general would be most appreciated.

    Nastiest Truck Stop on the Planet

    The pilot in Clinton, NJ definitely has my vote...although the people there went out of their way to be nice. After 25 years in NJ as a cop, it's ironic that Clinton is a really nice area. Go figure. I went as far as to complain to Pilot on this one. The smell, when you walk in the restaurant...

    Load Settlements

    I recently was paid for a load to Vancouver Island, BC but they neglected to pay me an almost $400 ferry fee that I had to lay out. I called and questioned why I was not paid. I was asked to resubmit the receipts which I did and was told that I would be paid immediately. I can't ask for more...

    Backhauls

    Being relatively new at Panther (Feb 08) my wife and I have avoided backhauls like the plague....mostly because we have no idea what we're doing when it comes to booking our own work. Anyway...last month, after a fantastic week (3600 miles) we capped it off with a trip to Victoria Island, BC...

    60/40 split?

    In retrospect, I can certainly agree with you. When I applied to Panther, coming from over the road with a large hauler, I just assumed that this was the way things were done. Ironically, we went with the first company that called us (boy, we were lucky) because we didn't know that we'd be...

    60/40 split?

    I have to admit that we are pretty close to Pelican's outlook. We are on a 60/40 with the owner paying the fuel. Although sometimes it seems like I'd be better off paying the fuel and keeping the surcharge but that was never an option for us. We pay the tolls but we could submit them for...

    HELP with Ferry Info

    I'm presently in Washington State making my way toward the coast. I need to go to Vancouver Island. My GPS tells me to take 20 west then 2 ferries to Victoria. I'm thinking that ONE ferry from Port Angeles might be cheaper/quicker. can't seem to find commercial info on ferry website or any rate...

    Some Notes from a New Team

    Well, it's been almost 4 months with panther for my wife and I. I have to tell you that we are very happy for the most part. I won't complain about specifics in here because it's too easy to take a pot shot at somebody that can't answer back. Let's just say that compared to the over the road...
