Probably your biggest problems are not what carriers will allow it. The biggest problems will be what fleet owners will allow it and what customers you go to will allow it.

Can you get one of these after jumping thru some hoops? The truck we are in is a 2008 Prostar converted to a straight truck. I have seen other ProStars with this decal and I'm just curious if can get it thru some process.

Guys this is not something exclusive to Panther. I had to watch what dispatch/load planners sent to me when it came time to getting home - this applied to SRT, Werner and to Swift.

After you enter the city state and it asks for the street name enter IN- for the dash you will need to press the "SYM" button, then 49 will show up as a choice. In this particular case select S IN-49, then put the house number in. Unfortunately, there is no general answer I can give on...

I'm assuming that you have put yourself on the hometyme board. Remember the job of dispatch is to get loads covered and moving, this is the same for Panther, Werner, Swift, etc. It is the driver's job to make sure the load goes in that direction. When you got these offers did you bother to...

My experience with what you're trying to do is this. I wound up going to a junior college near where I lived (Alvin Community College in Alvin TX) then I went with Southern Refrigerated Transport (Out of Texarkana,AR) to get my training done and then drove solo with them for a while. If you...

What kind of experience do you have with the trucking industry? Are you bringing your own truck or are going to be driving for somebody else (fleet owner)? Have you read thru the new comers section? Noticed I asked a few question before I offer any advice. I currently drive for Panther...

Bad news guys. They didn't make it.

There are several truck stops to choose from in the Lodi, Seville area. I-71 x 204 Pilot x 204 Loves x 209 TA x 209 Pilot If you drive for a fleet owner it depends on your contract as to what if any deadheading you do. I do agree that just about anywhere in Ohio or...

You mean this thing: Virtual Terminals The only ways that I know of finding out how many trucks are where, is to use macro 8 and when they call with a load offer ask them.

Hi folks, I found a nice, inexpensive BBQ place near where we live in Ennis TX. Oh, before i forget (actually i did) Ennis is south of Dallas on I-45. I talked with the owner (Trey I think that's how its spelled) and he would very much welcome trucks parking there for lunch and dinner. Name...

I thought I read in the council meeting notes that the subject of first outs have been brought up. Fuzzy memory says that it was suggested that it be eliminated and that Panther was looking into it.

Before you sign on the dotted line, make sure you know what you are getting. Look at your past medical expenses and make an informed decision. I'm also looking for insurance that is affordable and will actually do something for me. All of the insurance policies that I've looked at will not...

Since I scan and transmit from the truck, doesn't bother me at all.

Referring to the raffle.

Sorry, but I cannot but put my input on this situation. First and foremost, never drive for somebody without a contract (the only exception to this - you are a company driver). The vehicle owner can claim the agreement was anything and you have no recourse (legal or otherwise). I would...

Has anyone else downloaded and used the new version of TRANSFLO? I got a little popup when I got through scanning and submitting some documents about a new version being available. Which oh wow I installed it. I just got through doing my first scanning with it. When I tried to scan my...

Hey Scuba, it was going good for a while. But since doing our last load (today) it's back to doing what it did before.

How are you getting your distances? You might want to logon to the drivers web page and look at your sat pos, this could be your first clue. You might want to reset your q/c if the position is way off. Another way is to use the reposition macro (8) and see what your distances are from...

Since coming back to work after my mom's funeral the driver's web page is not keeping up with the number of loads we have had. I sent a message via the web page that there was a problem the first time and it got taken care of. Got done with another load today and the page is not reflecting...
