    panther dead zones

    Well I really have to agree with Cheri on the directions thing. Not only can you NOT get local directions, half the time you can't even get the customer on the phone either because the contact phone number is for a person not at their desk at all. Then when you call P2 they only have the same...

    Lease Purchase Contract Woes

    My question is on the original contract with the owner did you get it witnessed and notarized? I know that won't help now, but as long as you have you cancelled checks and the bank finally saying you did make the payments then there should be a clause in your lease agreement with this guys that...

    Feeling a little stupid about CA speed limit......

    RE: Feeling a little stupid about CA speed limit.. We talked to a CHP officer by phone to ask this and he said yes it's for 3 or more axles and autos pulling things. BUT he also said when going down the mountain grades we still have to do the posted truck speed limits downhills! Just a FYI

    Atkins Diet

    Well let's see where to start. I did a lot of lunch meats in the fridge. Easy access for snacking and curbing the edge. My hardest thing was the soda's. I switched to using bottled watersd with the Crystal Light single packs in them. Like my fav. was the peach tea, No carbs or calories. A big...

    New Panther/Conway drivers

    A lot of what you are sayingwas probably true before the buyout, but you neglect to say that it might be different now because of Panther getting Conway's customer base. We were out in CA when it happened and got right out and even did 3 more loads out and back no problem. Even took a load to...

    How is post-buyout P2 for you?

    Not all the Conway trucks that came over are doing good. We did good the first week and a alf but then sat in FL for 4 days before getting something. Would not let us relocate and we tried to get a backhaul even with no luck. Finally when our owner called us to ask if we wanted him to broker a...

    Enough with Panther Bashing...

    Yeah but I did jusy go back and read all the posts and Art did sound a little mean in his first post about saying that he didn't want us here at P2 anyway. Like those of us at Conway had a choice. We do however have a choice now to stick it out and see how P2 is and so far they are treating us...

    Enough with Panther Bashing...

    I don't think any of us are really saying one company is better than the rest. We are all out here to do the same job. That is to provide quality service above and beyond to the customer. I do believe however in my view that Phil was coming across as FedEx White Glove was better than every...

    How is post-buyout P2 for you?

    Well we are an Conway team that came over and are still doing great. All 3 loads we have done since P2 took over have still been our old Conway customers. It will probably take a few weeks for the customers to get aqainted with the buyout themselves. They probably need to hammer out contracts...

    Enough with Panther Bashing...

    Well Dave you are correct in all your have said. When Fed Ex took over Robert's Express they said they didn't even want the expediters to begin with, but the upper ups at Robert's told them they wouldn't sell it unless it was sold as one package. We were with FedEx's white glove division and had...

    Trans Alliance Bank - Flying J

    We use the TAB bank account too and it has been great for us. We have udes it for over a year. We are only drivers for a fleet owner and that is also how we get our weekly paycheck from the owner. So much easier that waiting on a mailed check to the house and all the hassles to go along with...

    Questions about Panther

    McBride, Glad you got your package and Conway pay. We were on a load to Barstow,CA when this all happened. Talk about being scared to death. And we only drive for a fleet owner. Panther has done really good by us. We decided to wait in Ontario,CA for our package and on Tues. were offered a load...

    con-way sells out

    Thank you for the warm welcome! As far as we know from talking to Conway dispatchers some of the dispatchers were offered jobs with Panther. Not sure how many. Some of the others were offered jobs with other Conway divisions. Not sure about the actual numbers of trucks, but from what Panther is...
