    My start to finish in expediting

    I suggest you stay with panther at least they will let you book your own freight. there is still good freight out there for vans that pays $1.50 and up just not enough to go around. I would take some time off and start looking for it. most loads that run under a 100 miles will pay at least $300...

    Straight Truck Home Delivery Contractor for a retailer

    that will only give you around 2700 per week not to bad for a one man band that gets to be home every night. But if your hiring drivers paying for fuel, insurance and repair you would need to put that on top so about another $14.66 per stop so you might as well make it an even $50 per stop

    IDK says he was doing 65/70 when it happened. I suppose I will never know as the tractor trailer never stopped. he claims the driver of the tractor swerved over as he was going around him and the rear of the trailer smacked him. I am just glad he had the freight secured. was wearing his seat...

    when I was leased to panther I am pretty sure 1 paid more than a $100 per unit per week in deductions. if my insurance was free I would not be able to bump up my day rates. that's set by the drivers not me. most of them make more than what they would on a 60/40 split working for your so called...

    They should stop charging you after 10 additional insured or at least they stopped charging me to add on after that. another thing that can effect your rates are the mileage limit. if you stay under 500 miles from your garaged location I guess its a little cheaper.
