    Panther Deceit

    I always believe in taking care of those who take care of themselves. I always move from a bad area to a good area and very rarely ask Panther to pay with an EM and sometimes I get a ld in route. If a driver is unwilling to move to a better area tough s$%t. I should not lose my load by swap...

    From The Desk Of Andy Clarke

    Can not be worst then working for a investment group now can it? I appreciate what they did in keeping Panther afloat and I hoped they made money that is the capitalistic system but better off being run by a legit freight company.

    the rewards program

    I am a solo CV that went from Bronze to Silver and can or should make Gold the 2nd half of 2012. I had my 100$ loaded and waiting for vouchers. I like the program b/c it gives u a goal and being rewarded for working is something new in this country. The rewards go to the lazy and the noisy.

    The good old days of expedited freight.

    I am curious. I have been doing this for a while, a tad over 9 years, I never recall anyone ever saying 'this is the best time I have ever had'. People generally only complain then remininence about how great things were but in reality there has never been a great time. People do the same thing...

    Oil resources in US not as extensive as advertised

    Considering they keep finding new reserves and keep touting man made influence on climate I take most reports with a grain of salt. I remember the argument under Clinton about taking 10 years to get ANWAR up and running and that was well over 10 years ago. Imagine if we had the extra stock in...

    Panther Rewards Program

    I do know that in order to hit gold in a CV you need to run team. I run solo and missed silver the first semester by 188 miles. This year semester 1, that is first 6 mos I was gold +1400 miles then the dreaded stay in Laredo for 8 days and wham no more Gold. I have averaged 2 lds a week, that is...

    Driver falsely accused of being rude

    I had a customer call my company and complain about me. I got to the cons, checked in and was asked to pull up to the dock. I then informed the woman that I am not dock high and need to use the ramp. She then cussed me out and called me a name under her breath. When she came out to get the...

    How Many Expediters Retire With Money?

    When I posted 400k-600k here is how the math works: O money in the fund putting in 6000k a year or 500 a month in an mutual fund that gets 10%/yr return over 20 years comes out to 411K Same fund putting in 10K a year comes out to 632K after 20 years. Imagine putting in a car payment a month...

    How Many Expediters Retire With Money?

    I have been with the same company for all most 9 years but the SS statements I get in the mail say my benefits will be around 138$ a month and since I have not paid into the "system" I do not expect anything from it. I am two years away from being debt free except the house, the wife has a small...

    Where is everyone at?

    Instead of taking the load all the way to TX where it takes 10-14 days to get out of if a solo get the load swapped in Memphis or Dallas then return back to a better board.

    Thanks Again

    The Computer pops up 3 possible trucks/van whatever that meet the needs of the shipper then it is dispatch's discretion. Sometimes you lose sometimes you lose. I very rarely get load offers when I get in the top 5 unless i am the only one on a board. Getting ****y about and complaining hardly...

    Spring madness

    I have a feeling based on projected production from the last few year not to mention doing this for 9 years my intutition is that this is going to be a slow year for all of us. No major policy changes coming from the Obama administration not to mention the ever creeping further of socialism...

    Where's the Panther freight?

    Panther swaps loads at a higher rate when things are slow. Too many drivers would rather sit, call in an complain then vulture another drivers loads. I myself do not accept swap loads or short loads. My % are not the best and yes I fall below the dreaded requirement sometimes but I do that...
