    Hmmm just how random

    I would rather get called when I was at home so I could drive my car instead of looking for truck parking. Just a question, it says if there's not truck parking, get a cab and you'll get reimbursed for it. What if you can't get a cab to get to you immediately, and I've been where I had to drive...

    Panther Drivers what do you think?

    Hasn't seemed to affect us any so far...but on an interesting note, has anyone looked at the FAQ's that was sent to the driver web? One of them said that we were NEVER on more than one board at a time. Also said that Panther has NEVER had boards. Kinda misleading, what we were told about...

    Seen it all ????

    Once when we were at home in Houston, we got called to do a mini. We took it because it picked up downtown at Conway, and delivered sorta close back by the house. It was some boxes of chicken feed. We thought this was kinda strange, because the part of town it delivered to was a really nice...

    Transflo/Trippak Scan

    I always scan about 2 to 3 at a time. The only problem I've ever had is the people at the counter. I put the papers in order, with the pro bills in front of the BOL's, and I tell the people at the counter there are small papers in between, so please feed them through or they will get out of...

    Using Freight Brokers and UShip for back loads.

    I'm not an owner, but I thought Panther said that you negotiate the amount and then they (Panther) will set up the load for you when you give them the company's information and I believe they do get a percentage of what you make off of it. I think the place you're getting the load from has to...

    New England area

    We seem to do pretty good when we go up there. Last week we took a load to CT, and then we sat for 3 hours, and got a load from MA to MS. You don't seem to have as many trucks to fight for loads up there. I don't think it's that bad in a straight truck, and certainly would go anywhere there...

    Redneck Roadsynes

    THis isn't a redneck saying, or a sign, but thought it was sort of the same. I was reading the newspaper, and came upon the local support groups. I saw one that said OverEaters Anonymous meeting today at 01:30 In Building "F" at 1200 such and such street. Hmm....did I read that wrong? Nope...

    Neccessary technology

    We use a Tom Tom, and sometimes it loads kind of slow. Besides that, I pretty much love it. One thing I like is after it plans your route, you can read it as text. I usually then compare it to the company's directions to make sure I'm going the same route they said to. Then I follow the GPS...

    Canada Clearance?

    I'm not sure which one it is, but if you go through that list of companies on the home page, I'm pretty positive I saw one that said they don't do any Canada. Also, I think some of companies will let you sign a no Canada contract, which you get less pay I'm sure, but you wouldn't get any load...

    team communications

    I think that would be a good idea...especially for telling the other person what dock to go into. Today I went in to a place that was at an auto plant, and the door was halfway around the building. It would have been nice to just radio outside to the truck to my husband! I don't mind walking...

    I'm getting paid how..?

    I'm pretty sure most people who get 40%, get it before fuel costs. The owner would just pay fuel and keep the fuel surcharge for themselves. Some people say paying for the fuel themselves, and getting 60% plus FSC, make a little more sometimes. On some trips we get, if you do the math...

    anyone know?

    Has anyone else heard that you can get some sort of printout from Comdata giving you the amount of all fees you've paid to them? For tax purposes I'd like to have one. I had heard you could, but can't find anything on their website about it. For example, when you register money from your card...

    internet question

    Okay...I heard someone once say they used one of those antennas that boosts their signal, and it works for their wireless signal too. Maybe with that it wouldn't be too bad. Did the tmobile internet work only where you had tmobile, or is it wherever you have any signal from a tower? Thanx

    My Wife

    That's really sad for both of you. One of the hardest things in life for women, I think, is when they want to have a baby but can't for some reason or another. Everywhere you look, babies, everyone you know, getting pregnant or have babies. For some women, there is a void in your life that...

    internet question

    Hi...I was just wondering if anyone who has Tmobile phone service, also uses the Tmobile internet for their laptop, and has the aircard? If so...how does it work for you? Do you usually get a signal in most places, strong or weak signals...etc. Also, does it work everywhere you have any phone...

    Panther Drivers Council

    I really respect the driver's council and think it's nice that we have people who try and make a difference...not only for themselves, but everyone who works here. How do you submit a suggestion, or what have you to them on the driver's website? Also, these messages are sent to them without...

    That's so funny!!! Isn't it funny how some people don't ever realize when someone is telling them a joke? They just look all surprised, with this "Oh my gosh" face? Good one...

    I'm going to be sitting how long?

    Great post! We've found what you've said to be exactly true. You have to be patient, because everything is so uncertain. You have to plan to not be as busy, be thankful and run hard when it is...and always save your money. We love it, and wouldn't ever do anything else again! Good luck to...

    Panther rolls out new Board position and em program

    I agree...I think it will work good as long as people follow the suggestions and EM's, and let the computer know they are doing so. I think people just resist change. Leo...that's funny you are from Pearland? We live in Spring. Don't run into too many people doing this who live down there.
