To all Panther Driver Representitives: Could you please address the issue of including year to date earnings on our weekly settlement check detail sheets. This should be an automatic function of what ever spread sheet application they use. I can't see where it would require any extra effort or...

Wow! It has been 1 year since I registered with E.O. I did some lurking the year prior to joinning. But it wasn't until the Christmas slow down last year that I spent any real time here to appreciate how informative and important E.O. is to the men and women of the expedite industry. I...
