    There are two Motels and a Pancake House about a mile from Panther. Your recruiter can tell you the phone #. When I was there there were drivers sleeping in their vehicles at Panther and some at the Motels.

    CDL-A College degree!

    It is my understanding the person getting the free schooling are required to stay with the carrier. I believe but am not positive it's for a year, if the person were to leave sooner they would be responsible for the school cost. I do not know if it's pro rated.

    Culling the Herd

    The major Oil Co's. of this country are fully aware that literally every thing in our country moves by Truck & Train and they will not give up a new record profit every quarter, even though it would clearly be a benefit to our country.

    I'm Out

    I was under the impression that Panther and most all of Expediting Companies Es crowed a fixed amount of a O/O monies each week. Held in a non interest bearing account. If you left either before or after the amount was fulfilled they would hold your monies until the Unit (s) were returned.
