Hello E/O friends... this week I was told by a recruiter that Panther has 530 cargo vans in their fleet currently. I wonder how this number compares to six months ago or even one year ago. Does anyone out there remember? I am scheduled to return to Panther next week as an owner/op and am...

Thanks Mr Moot. Actually I am Kentuckian. Not Greek. But the language barrier persists with my accent and all. Very pleased to hear about your back to back pre-dispatched loads. I am gathering all the encouragement I can before putting my toes back in expediting soon.

Rigar, thanks for your input. But oh my gosh... $3900 is a huge amount to be owed or disputed. How did that come about? Did they just simply stop paying you or did this accumulate in increments over time? Were you a team operation or solo? Did they pay a fair fuel surcharge? No offense...

Trying to get info from veteran expediters about a company called "Midwest Expediting". I just read a recruiting advertisement about them and need more info. Can anyone shed some light on their operation for me? Pros and cons. Do they keep their owner/ops busy? Are they straight up with...

Since I have been away from P2 for less than five months, I am unaware of a 16 hour clock being imposed on solo van drivers. Wouldn't the overall effect be the same as imposing HOS or logging upon the van driver? Is this true? If so, how is it working out for the much maligned soloist?

Thanks Turtle, I always enjoy reading your posts. I hope your'e just kidding about the 16 hour clock for vans w/Panther. If it's true, it will be a huge impediment for me to overcome. When I am at home I often run to the store or post office or doing errands in my van. Are you saying if I...

Hi Perkey, I grossed $60k last year w/Panther as a solo operator in a van. That was for approx 48 weeks availability with 4 weeks off. Of course fuel was much cheaper last year. I have been away from expediting the last 4 months and plan to return July 1st. Good luck to you.

Thanks Moose, I drove a cargo van as an owner/op with Panther and plan to return around July 1st. I will stay with a van chiefly because of the ease of entry into and out of the industry with an economically priced van. I operate as a solo driver and prefer the Ford E-350 w/diesel engine...

hi everyone I am poised to return to expediting after four months of working for a small local outfit. My current company gave us the news this morning they will be going out of business in seven days. Not much notice but that's ok. I am eager to return to expediting because it was the...
