If her Husband only had to wait 15 days to get paid from Panther she ought to be THRILLED!

Why not go to the Manager of the Pilot Center when you observe this type of cleaning conduct?

Clearly Expediting as an O/O is a business. Whether going into business with your own Vehicle or driving someone Else's. Either way the Prospective O/O needs to do his or her investigation of the Business. BUT just as clearly the Expediting Companies SHOULD have the courtesy to try and explain...

Fr8 Shaker, your implying it Costs the Company someone is Leased to have a Straight truck or Tractor sitting. I was never made aware of that at Orientation.

Speaking of misunderstanding & Bickering does anyone know if "Dreamteam" went on to sign on with Panther, and if so how are they doing.

I am not Advocating Vans or Straight Trucks or questioning any ones experience's with either Vehicle. I am only saying there are numerous Companies advertising for Cargo & Sprinter Vans. It would seem to me a used Van would be less expensive the a used Straight Truck and have more uses if a...

Thank you, I always learn something every time I log on.

I believe you will find ALL Expediting Companies will require a class B CDL. Panther will not require Haz Mat for a Van (they didn't as of last August) at Orientation they said NO Haz Mat shipped by Van.

It seems that most of the Senior Members here are almost always telling persons interested in Expediting that Cargo Vans are over subscribed. Yet on the opening page there are at least 10 Companies saying they are recruiting Vans.

Please excuse me for starting a New post because I saw this Topic yesterday (But now I can't find it) Optima Yellow top Battery a AGM Battery. What is the benefit of paying close to $200.00 for an extra Battery? I stopped where I get my parts/oil/filters, etc. Can it keep a Diesel engine heater...

Hondaking, congratulations on your service to our Country. Could you not explain or ask of Panther to try and find you some type of back haul when you have to do your service commitment.

It was my understanding the passengers were Parolee's being taken some where to be let out on their own. Also the first report said she stoppped because it was the end of her shift, and she returned with the extra Bus that was sent out for the Parolee's.

Thank you, it's nice to have a questioned answered by O/O who have been there already.

I don't know how this works in different States or is it's still available at all. Back in 1991 I moved back to Ct from the Eastern Shore of Maryland, I had a CDL class B with Tanker endorsement. I had been in MD for two years and Ct made me retest. They had Video game type consoles set up for...

Thank you Cheril122, Terryandrene also answered. The difference between C & D is C Dock high 5000 lb freight load and D Dock high 13,000 freight load. Again thanks to all who have helped answer my questions from time to time. It is appreciated.

I've only been through one Orientation and that was at Panther. I have no idea what percent of the persons attending were already familiar with Expediting and the wait times involved between jobs. I do know it was NEVER mentioned during Orientation, be prepared to sit for 48 hours maybe more. It...

Is there a major difference to the O/O between a set amount per mile plus FSC, and a percentage of Load, plus FSC. Of the Companies I've talked too each Say's there's is probably a little better.

Personally I think a Debit card is the best way to go. There are very few places you can't buy Fuel, oil or what ever else you need. Credit or Debit if your required to sign the back, sign it "see photo ID" so if some one tries to use it they will need to be a Identical twin.

It seems that when ever anyone asks a question, then gets an answer they are not expecting or happy with they respond in a Negative manner. Then the original question gets a life of it's own, and three, four pages of people trying to insult each other. You almost certainly will be making less...
