Panther Expedited Services has a lease purchase program for Tractors. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

Dale Panther offers the same thing threw a broker.

I would agree with most of what your saying. A judge ruled in a case I know about that if the contract clearly states a two week notice must be given or this will happen it is legal. The driver has a choice to sign it or not. It's no different if you sign a contract to move mail for the United...

I agree Greg, the driver of the mini van slowed down which caused the accident. This accident could have been prevented if the mini van driver had pulled over to the side of the road. My heart goes out the family's of the people that was killed.

No drama Hawk. As Davekc has said, " an escrow is needed for owners to cover their investment in the truck that drivers lease". I see nothing wrong with an escrow, I just choose not to have one at this time because drivers have settlements that can be tapped into if there is damage to a truck...

We offered to train him. We had paid out a bus ticket, 3 days in a hotel and the cost of sending him threw class at Panther. The guy said he couldn't do it. We lost about $600.00 on this driver but I would rather lose $600.00 than him wreck a truck or kill someone. We bought the guy a bus ticket...

Thank you, I heard you have in over 4100 miles this week? Great job and after you drop the 1509 mile load your on now call me and I will put you in a hotel for the night.

I agree with what Lawrence is saying in regards to going to a workshop. Had there been a Expediters workshop back in 1994 when I started looking into this business, I would have gone and learned a lot before I started in this business. Bob and Linda Caffee are people that have done a few...

Cheri We have never asked for an escrow from our drivers ever. I do understand why fleet owners do. If people would just do the right thing people wouldn't have to pay an escrow.

Thanks Greg as you know me to well. We go over the contract that way and even record the meeting of them signing it.

That is what a few others are telling me. I really don't want to go that route but it seems we may need too. We don't want to keep peoples money, we just want them to do the right thing. Not lie to us, mess up our trucks, and quit with a notice. Is that to much to ask. We know people come and...

We hired a guy from Detroit, Mi to drive one of our trucks, but he can't drive stick. We was going to put him in our automatic, but it has a sur shift with a clutch. He has a class B CDL and is a very nice young man. He just don't feel good about driving a auto matic with a clutch. If anyone...

I got a call in regards to a post that was placed in the open forum in regards to Mayfield Express LLC. Mayfield Express LLC follows all the laws set in place by DOT. This former Contractor was terminated for a MAJOR violation of our contract and our carriers. Our contract clearly states that if...

That is what I read over two weeks ago about I80 west of Reno, NV

Great picture Phil. That picture reminded me of the old days when everyone would park side by side like that at the Detroiter Truck Stop in Woodhaven, Mi. We all would go in and sit together and have coffee and talk about the business.

Jefferson sounds like you have helped this member before. I would have to agree with Phil, they need to go to the link that Phil posted.

We all wish we could get $3.00 a mile for all miles. That is what it should be with the cost of fuel.

Well, do the math if your running reefer loads at 1.55 plus a .45 fsc pulling their trailer, doing 5000 plus miles a week as a team. I would be happy with that. The hard thing is finding a team for a tractor that wants to be a driver.

I been using Ziggler tire for over 16 years now. Great place to do business with. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

IRT there is so many contracts at Panther which is part of the reason it's hard on dispatch at times. I can give you a break down on two different dry box trucks, two different reefer units trucks and tractor. Dry box with no lift gate is at $1.35 per mile plus 100% of FSC. Dry box with a...
