    What's The Craziest Truck Stop Experience You've Had or Witnessed?

    When I started out driving over the road on the road in 1995 I pulled into a small truck stop in Wilmington, Delaware on route 13 as I was running solo. I just dropped off my load and needed to get my eight hour break to restart my ten hours of driving. It was 9 am and I thought this truck stop...

    *need help* out of fuel!!!

    I'm sure this will be the last time they run out of fuel, I hope. We had a new team run a truck out of fuel twice in less than 4 hours. The sad thing is they had $383.00 on their com data card for fuel. They ran out of fuel on the first load 25 miles from where it dropped off. We had a service...

    Loves Truck stop Florida kicks out truck drivers for Bike week

    If Love truck stops feels that this once a year event is more important than the customers that support Loves year round, they should just pull all the diesel pumps out and not do business with all the trucking companies anymore.

    Panther rates???

    I have no problems with Panther as they have been the best carrier we have ever been leased on with. We have made more money with Panther than any other carrier. I wish I had moved to Panther sooner than we did. We have nineteen trucks leased on with Panther with plans to add three more by the...

    Question for both current and ex Panther Drivers

    That is right. If you want to be home for two weeks that is up to you. Now if you drive for someone, the person you're driving for may ask you to return their truck if your out of service for 14 days. Panther Expedited Services has nothing to do with how long a driver is out of service, unless...

    Panther rates???

    I have always heard 'Go pound Salt" Origin The phrase "go pound salt" originated in the early days of commercial salt mine operations in the US. There were a number of specific jobs performed by people who worked in the mine. The lowest paying and most menial job was pounding large rocks...

    Expedite With Tractor and Pup Trailer?

    This is nothing new, back in the Roberts Express days there was a team that owned a pup trailer and used it for years as a D unit. I would always see them over at the Flying J in Indianapolis and they said did great pulling a pup trailer.

    Panther Expedite Names New CEO

    I don't know, I don't shop at Wal-mart anymore as they are part of the problem with hurting US companies. Most of the stuff they have isn't even made in the USA, it come from China, or somewhere outside the US.

    Panther Expedite Names New CEO

    This is a very good move as Louis Schneeberger is the right person for the job and knows the Panther system already. If ABC had brought someone in from outside of Panther Expedited Services, I feel that this would have us looking at our long term relationship with Panther Expedited Services...

    CEO out at panther! What's going on now?

    Bernieh48 You're owner is wrong. Andy Clark was in Seville yesterday and it was his choice to leave Panther to go back into banking. If you're owner told you John Elliott just bought Mayfield Express LLC for $8,000,000,00 would you think it was true too? We have 23 trucks, but I don't think the...

    No, to be honest it was Andy Clarke choice. Andy step down from Panther to go back into banking. That is what Andy did before becoming CEO of Panther Expedited Services.
