    JUNG EXPRESS LOAD ISSUE

    Your issue then is with Jung. If that can't be settled, you may give OOIDA a call and see if they could make a call or two on your behalf to get paid. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

    JUNG EXPRESS LOAD ISSUE

    Sounds like he generated a BOL in order to get paid from Panther, which it sounds like he did. I would pursue the owner as it sounds like he has been already paid. Additionally, you could call Panther and they would probably tell you the date that it paid. Davekc owner 23 years...

    Yep time for a strike - thanks GM!

    As Gregg mentioned, 125,000 a year per employee certainly works out to be way above 20 something an hour. That does include the benefits in that number. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

    What's the next move for a Newbie with Class B per

    RE: What's the next move for a Newbie with Class B There are many fleet owners that will take on someone new. Unfortunately, I am not one of them. I think Leo said it best in another post in that one that has older equipment, a lot of trucks, or maybe a new fleet owner with no or little...

    Kudos to Dave

    Thanks guys as your opinions are greatly appreciated. But, it is just a fill in gig. I'm still learning from the master. Jeff is irreplaceable and clearly one of the best writers in the trucking business. And Chet....you better stay put for awhile.:7 I couldn't resist. Glad it is working well...

    Attention; Panther Drivers

    The ad you are refering to is in the EO classifieds from a fleet owner looking for drivers. The ad does say for elite services, or at least the one I read. 2500 to 4000 net to the driver(s) is unrealistic on a consistent basis in my opinion. If those are gross numbers to the truck, then they are...

    driver license information

    Jack is correct in calling for the most up to date available information. It is my understanding that you will not need a cdl for operating a van. I do believe however you must pass a physical and a drug screen. Hope that helps. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

    Yep time for a strike - thanks GM!

    It is tough to be a competitor when you pay the guy with the broom 40 dollars and hour. Then they want job security and wonder why they move plants to Mexico. Car lots currently have plenty of inventory, so the union is saving GM a fair amount of money. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO...

    panther board positioning

    I would agree in that their repositioning system or software is a total waste. They need to get this other system in place, as it has been way too long. Like you Turtle, we don't really use it anymore except for distance to a particular board. Other than that it has no useful purpose...

    Business Minded or just a Job?

    If someone just wants to "try it", I would steer them towards the larger fleet owners that take on new inexperienced drivers. I still think that it is good solid advice to recommend starting with a fleet owner. It is just plain common sense. Those types of fleet owners are out there. We took...

    panther board positioning

    I think I answered that already. They are coming out with a zip code based system. Already discussed with driver council in July and they are currently addressing it. Not sure on the start date? Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

    Business Minded or just a Job?

    One always wants to see someone succeed regardless of their circumstances. At the same time, I will let someone else "try it" on their dime rather than mine. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

    Where did post go?

    That is the only thread I've seen. I thought he said somewhere he was off until December or something? Can't remember, but he hasn't been on here for several days. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

    panther board positioning

    We have never had that problem moving less than a mile somewhere unless we were sitting on the far edge of a board. Have them send your position over the qc prior to moving? Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

    panther board positioning

    Make sure when you ask about your position, ask for a certain city. Alot of times they will scan from YOUR location rather than from a specific city. Depending on location, that will make a difference. It also doesn't take into account trucks migrating to that board that haven't indicated their...

    Business Minded or just a Job?

    As a fleet owner, I don't really concern myself too much with the "why". As long as they understand the lifestyle, and we have the same expectations, everyone walks away happy. I would agree if someone just wants "to try it", they aren't really a candidate for how I operate. Davekc...

    Interesting Email

    You are right on the Alliance. Maybe a habit, but I tend to look at owners within that organization as single companies rather than a large entity. When I talk with someone at say C & M or Nations, I don't readily think of Alliance. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator
