    Panther issues

    Panther may not be the BIGGEST CROOKS but they are certainly a close second.

    Missing.......

    I fail to see how, with the amount of money Panther takes every week from it's contracted O/O it can cost them a DIME when a O/O is sitting.

    Panther issues

    When I left Panther there seemed to be no hard feelings, I called and said I'm sending the Qual Com and other gear back by Fed Ex. Panther sent me an order # with DHL said they would pay return shipping. Everything was returned in the same condition as received. That was last December and I'm...

    Had enough

    I tried Panther from August to December in 2007, when I left I returned all the panther gear I had in the same condition it was received in. It took a month to get paid for my last trip and I'm still waiting for the monies that were escrowed.

    Can I make it?

    When you talk to a recruiter, any recruiter bear in mind they are "recruiters" they will tell you what ever they think you want to hear. It is my personal opinion only, that no Expediting Company cares if you make a living or not. If you do good for them, if you don't there is no skin off their...

    Cargo Van Tips

    I use "Howes Lubricator" in both my F 250 & E 350, I guess at what is an ounce or two at each fill up. The E 350 gets 20 mpg with 2400 lbs in it, to about 23.5 empty as long as I stay under 65 mph. P.S on today's front page under News Items head lines "Bolt Express introduces new cash advance...

    Total trans, keep in mind if you go to "Panther" and later decide to leave even after you return the satelite & Qual Com "panther" will keep your escrow.

    Nations Express info please!

    "if Nations Express cannot keep their own drivers happy why recruit?'it would seem to me the question answers it self.

    Bolt Express

    I'm with Bolt Express & have not be issued or asked to sign anything new. Freight is definitely slower then a couple of months ago, at least for me. I believe most Companies have their good and bad points. O/O needs to find where he or she is comfortable. OOIDA #905828

    At orientation in March the subject came up and we were told the ICC was considering this Rule for 2009.

    How Far To Far

    I feel it depends on the size of the truck. I can move my Van 100 miles for under $20.00, there are many people here where I live that commute over a 100 miles a day round trip to get to work, & there not getting paid for the drive to and from work . Dead Heading is part of the business. It...

    Cummings/DD/Hino/Mercedes

    I met a driver a few weeks ago with a new Hino (3-4 months old) asked him how he liked it. He said "it's fine except when going up hills, you can watch the fuel gauge go down"
