Look out scuba .... I hear it's storming where you are at ... Lol

Well, we are not steering wheel holders or truck stop decorators. Matter of fact, my husband and I run above Panther average for miles and earnings. We don't run elite, we run ground. We do know alot of dispatchers on a first name basis. And like I said before, for the most part, they are...

Charlette has always been a good area for us. That or that TA in greensboro. We have gotten loads out of Danville VA goin to Missouri alot there, from the Good Year plant.

As to refer to dispatch calling you as a fleet owner ... Have you forced your driver to take the load they didnt want to take? It hasnt happened to us, but has happened to friends. Our owner pretty much leaves us alone, as we know what we are doing out here. But it's the newbies that don't...

That is exactly what it boils down to. Being in the right place at the right time that gets you the really good loads

Move up to Charlette NC... Great place to get loads. There is 2 flyin j's close to charlette. That is where we sit and get good loads. I don't mind sharing my good hiding spots.

Panther_art I lost track and count on the favors panthers owes us lol. Might as well forget getttin back owed favors. You will not see them. Just smile and say thanks when you do get those great loads.

Wow Turtle...are you actually a driver for Panther? Or are you a Panther employee? Even turning down the reduced rate loads they get cranky with u. And these reduced rate loads are offered in PRIME panther circle, not the midwest. It seems the only time you get a load at the truck rate is...

I don't know about you all, but it really irritates me when someone gets really cranky with you when you turn down what you may consider an unprofitable load. Don't they realize by the time you do this small load, that it takes you 7 hours to do a load that will only pay the driver 50 dollars...

Yes that happened to friends of ours. Panther called the owners and the owner forced them to take a load. What happened to us being contract drivers?

This won't affect my husband and I, as our owner does not put any money on the comdata cards. We have a fuel card for fuel. So this new policy won't benefit us one bit. There is alot of other things I could think of that Panther needs to adopt and get better. One thing is teaching their...

I'm sorry for your loss. I have a father who has brain cancer right now. And god forbid when he goes, I will just go home. I wont wait for Panther to tell me if I could take home time or not. Just put yourself out of service and go. And your right, there is people that answer the phones up...

Cut myself out for loads? You mean if we dont take a load at 1.10 a mile i should stop complaining? Hmmmmmmmm....

Do you know how many owners out there tell their potential drivers that they have prestine excellent working trucks in immaculate shape, and the drivers get there and the trucks are a P O S. You get a little gun shy in this industry. And the one poster is right. Sometimes your best bet would...

Are they going to be nice trucks? Or POS trucks? Can we pick what kind of truck we want? Just wondering, as my husband and I are thinking of getting our own truck. :eek:

Ok Scuba.... How did the drivers council meeting go?

I AGREE.....IT SHOULD NOT MATTER TO PANTHER WHERE YOU TAKE A BACK HAUL TO. AS LONG AS THEY GET THEIR CUT, THEY SHOULDNT REFUSE YOU THE RIGHT TO MOVE YOUR TRUCK. THIS IS NOT FAIR ON THEIR PART. PANTHER CHANGES THEIR RULES AND MINDS MORE THEN IT RAINS IN LOUSIANA AND THAT IS EVERY DAY. (...

HEY ALL Personally, I think the new virtual terminals SUCK. Panther needs to go back to the old boards. There is way to many trucks on one board now. I still go where I used to sit with the old boards if i've gotten loads out of there in the past. But sometimes it's hard to tell. We spent...

Hey All Team spirit is great to have, when Panther keeps us all happy. Don't know about you, but it's been alot of reduced rate loads for us lately. I love meeting new panther drivers and talking with them. We are very approachable. KEEP SMILING ALL. :p

Well my husband and I drive for Panther, and that sure isn't me lol. WOW, wonder what has her looking so happy? She finally got a run maybe? hehehe. Keep up the great work smileyl.:)
