    YES! (insert fist pump here)

    After several years I finally beat my old Panther on hold time record. My previous record was 72 minutes. My new record is 75½ minutes. That's like 1 hour, 15 minutes and 30 seconds. I probably should have tried to push it further but I was exhausted and hung up. The dirge playing in the...

    No More Toll Receipts

    So far this automated toll calculation is working well. Panther's routing and mine are in sync. Last week I incurred $28.57 in tolls and was reimbursed $28.54. I'm not going to sweat the 3 cent loss. When you're making the big bucks like I am, what's a measly 3 cents! All tolls are...

    How can my contract be valid when they aren't giving me loads?

    I was fortunate I got on the learn while you earn program. I was an employee of a start up expedite company. I drove a company owned van or a company leased straight truck. I did this for about 14 months before buying a new van and becoming an O/O. While I was an employee I met several O/Os...

    Sprinter load ?

    Panther still doesn't pay any more for "Sprinter" loads. The first week out in my Transit I was giving them 144" of floor space. My very first load was two pallets at 56" high. Later that week I got a 3 pallet load so I folded up my bed and stack some personal junk. It was only a 250 mile...

    You had the tracking program turned off but not the tracking chip. Remember when you nodded off during orientation and later that night you discovered a small raised area and slight scab on top of your head?
