    Panther Sitting at Truck Stops

    Actually I have 100% on time, and acceptance so for me personally that can't be issue with dispatch. I actually thought maybe that hurts me to the tune of "this one will take it, give the short run to this van" My main problem is simply not knowing where the "customers" all are yet and...

    New sign on with Panther in a CV 70 cents a mile

    If you have to ask what they did wrong you missed the point. They made an ADULT decision to misrepresent the company I am contracted to very boldly. They were driving an exact replica of the van I operate so therefore I documented the fact so that if any backlash occurred I could prove that it...

    I agree nothing's wrong with smut however there is a time and place for it without making a joke out of our business. They were not delivering there unless they had something in their pocket... Well never mind I'll just leave it at that!

    Speaking of Chix on Dix, Last week on the Ft. Wayne board while I was sitting taking my 5 hour, (well 2 1/2 day break) at a Pilot, I noticed one of my fellow Panthers come off the interstate and head across the highway to the ADULT store, it was a team (man and woman) they parked right front and...

    If your already a driver and in a van the Macro 8 on the QC will give you a 300 mile radius. As of last count Panther told me there is 386 vans on lease total already. I'm on an older contract at 77 cents plus FSC.

    fuel price peak?

    I think it will teeter around $5 for awhile during the summer then Mr. President will play hero during his election campaigning and swoop in to save the day somehow claiming responsibility for a lower price at the pump. I've seen this set up during past election years.

    GPS Locating County Rd. Addresses.

    Ive had the same problem already too with multi named roads. If you put in 1999 N. Michigan Ave. into the GPS for the Honda plant instead of the county named road it will take you right to the gate practically. Got this info from my QC last time I picked up there.

    Cargo van sleeper laws

    Hi all sorry if this topic has been covered before but I couldn't find the answer when searched. When teaming in a cargo van are there any laws pertaining to the use of the sleeper when loaded and or in motion? For instance does the partition have to be up even for non hazmat? I read safety...
