    Panther Refusal Stats

    Because you're the only person at Panther who can't seem to get obviously incorrect refusals removed on a weekend, because, apparently, you have your own personal Driver Relations person who doesn't work weekends and none of the other Driver Relations people will work with you on anything...

    Stolen van(GPS), part two (attn. owners)

    Name was posted last Thursday, the 12th, here: http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/35396-van-stolen-please-help.html#post290634 The photos were removed because someone felt they were no longer needed. How wrong they were. ;)

    Well, I never accused you of saying that the Council made the changes. I merely accused you of believing that they had something to do with this. Maybe you should read what you just quoted. In any case, here's what you said. "The driver council should amend the agreement with panther for these...

    Storytelling 101

    ...sometimes not. The phone rang, it was his agent. "We've got an offer on a sequel. Everyone is on board. Tim Burton is slated to direct. It's a brilliant plot. The two headed cat has just given birth to a pair of evil kittens, who were born all hopped up on catnip." "The cats are...

    Mexico to impose sanctions on US exports

    All we'd have to do is put an immediate ban on the import of Mexican produce and they'd change their tune in a heartbeat.

    Fat Neck Alert!!!

    If your ear lobe has a crease in it, you're at risk for a heart attack, too. It's weird, I know.

    White and green no pay

    It wasn't just a duplicate. He had posted several of them over the last day or two, all with the same theme. Some had the carrier in the Subject line, those were deleted. Some had the carrier in the message body. Those were likewise deleted. Maybe third time's a charm and he'll accept the not-so...

    Are all truckers mad and depressed?

    First, second and third, that's what I'm here for. A wacka wacka. Fourth, never forget the past. You learn more from the past than you ever will from the present or the future. Whatever you do in the past is with you always. Always. All you can do it learn from it the best you can and avoid...

    Not to put too fine a point on it, but what exactly are you basing that on? Is it the same knowledge that made you think that the Driver Council had something to do with this? The same knowledge that leads you to believe that larger carriers can bid high and still get the loads? The same...

    Are all truckers mad and depressed?

    Are all truckers mad and depressed? Yes, they are, even the ones who say they aren't, they are. All of them. Every last rotten stinkin' one of them. Some are so severely clinically depressed that they will make a post stating that they will leave a carrier's name out of the story, and then...

    Panther Refusal Stats

    That answer makes no sense. What #? The 67% number itself, as in a pass-fail, above-or-below scenario? Or is the number "itself" the actual Acceptance percentage, and a 97% trumps a 92% for board position?

    179 deadhead, 179 loaded, plus loading and unloading time, all in 5 hours. More like 8, maybe 9 hours. And according to the post, you deadhead to get it and then bring it right back to the same one-a-day board that you're currently on, where you will likely be 3rd after you deliver, so you could...

    Is getting hazmat worth it?

    Once you've been fingerprinted once, how many times you are fingerprinted after that is, in the end, meaningless. Additional prints are merely a confirmation of your identity. They do compare fingerprints between agencies, as Layout said. When I was fingerprinted for HAZMAT, they compared those...

    Watch Out!!

    Obama was elected to Protect and Defend? Really? Who told you that? Certainly not anyone who voted for him, that's for sure.

    Okie, consider yourself appropriately berated. :) If you go to a support site about your cell phone, you will mostly see postings where people are having problems with their cell phone. Read enough of those and you'll soon believe that everyone is having problems with their cell phone. It's the...

    Acceptance Rate and Fuzzy Math

    But there are people in Driver Relations on the weekends, I just talked with them. It used to be they were there during the day and a few hours in the evening, but now (as of a couple or three weeks ago) one comes in at 7:30AM and another comes in at 6PM, with the 6PM shift ending at 4AM the...
