    Now compared to 5 years ago.

    Where have rates gone in the last 20 yrs. In 1985 O/O of a tractor and trailer and not having my own authority we recieved 1.00 for all miles loaded and empty. Fuel was under a dollar and we didn't pay for load insurance. Compare that to current rates and it all stinks. But you don't see the...

    Sleepy Drivers

    I hope you are driving a van and not having to log. Cause when you fall asleep driving a van and run into my T/T I know I will not be killed. If you have to work that hard at keeping awake it was time to go to sleep along time ago. NO LOAD IS WORTH YOUR LIFE OR SOMEONE ELSES. And if you are...

    Got my wish. Back with A. Blair.

    At a 1.10 and you pay for everyting you have got to run your butt off just to make it. I feel that this is one of the companies that is bringing down the rate in this industry. It's all about working smarter not harder. NO THANK-YOU. Apples to Apples you didn't even come close to cutting it...

Been with Panther for almost 4 yrs now as a team. Sometimes we get nothing but team runs other times we get nothing but short runs. Just have to...

My thought was is that you already have fleet owner meetings and to put it simply we as single owners do not. As with many big companies the open door policy is a little...

    Panther Driver Council Time to make your Vote

    Jim and Arlene I could not agree with you more. That is why Phil and I (Barbara) as a single Truck owner T/T decided that we needed to volunteer for this. The fleet owners from my understanding will still have there meetings. We as O/O have alot of the same issues as just drivers do. I just hope...
