Okay I will shut up about Panther when FedEX people shut up about Fedex. I may like them now but in six months I may not. My point in posting about Panther was so people could know what it is like. As Leo said: all carriers have warts. For years I heard and read that Panther was a bad...

Steve sorry, I wasn't talking about FedEX either. No I don't want you to follow me anywhere you are smart enough to make your own choice. I was talking about people that drive for owners that are leased to carriers to be honest. If the owners that have drivers and the drivers don't pay their own...

This Question has come up many times over the years. Are you an employee or contractor with the carrier or the owner your with? I must say at Panther you are a true contractor. They give you the CHOICE on what you want to do. So my Question to you is: Are you a true Owner/Operator with your...

got my vote too

Phil Here is the load my brother is on today. 1703 miles with .51 a mile FSC, now that is the longest load as of yet. He has yet to turn down a load either. Nice load too.

Nightcreacher is telling you the truth. Chicago is a great for FedEx, Check out other carriers too to see what best fits your needs. You will do alot of PPG loads out of Oak Creek, Wi for the KIT team for FedEx.

Leo Dave is right, that is what we get for our refer. $1.65 a load mile for any load plus 100% of the FSC and .50 a mile deadhead. Erwin told us in Elite Class if the run is over 250 miles DH they will bump it up to .75 a mile deadhead for all miles. So over all I think it a better deal then...

Just 6 of the 7 Right now. The ER unit is the only one left. But if the safety department don't get their crap together it may be leaving too. The driver has faxed the inspection papers and the manitenace report 5 times to the safety department and they say they don't have it. Then he took them...

It all would depend on if I could see what they was charging the customer. But then again they could be like FedEx and run threw another one of it's companys like FedEx does now 1st and take money off the top and then send it to FedEx CC.

I agree 100% Dave. I'm glad some think it's great. But I don't, never have. Why do you think they gave everyone a so called higher percentage because people like me and Ken Jackson and others that was posting things on here. I started this post under my name and was kindly ask to stop posting...

What Post? I want to read what was funny.

To be honest Dave those are better numbers for that truck then at FedEx. The base pay on the truck is a $1.30 per loaded mile plus FSC and any other things that get added in. So I'm sure the pay would be higher on our refer trucks that gets $1.65 per mile plus 100% of the FSC and .50 a mile...

That is cute Dale. I have had my share of dumb things I did. I don't know if I can beat that but they was all pretty dumb in my book. Like locking the keys in the truck at the docks with the truck running on a hot load. Then there is the one time I was in the Elk Grove Express Center and turned...

Yes Dave that is ture. But we are all in this business to make money so if one customer pays a better FSC than the other one I want all of it because I pay the fuel not FedEx. That being said some at FedEx seem to think we was making enough money to pay for all the fuel. That is not ture, I...

You said the key word Leo. Choose not forced to take the what they give you. At Panther you have a choice on the FSC. You can tell me i'm going to get a FSC on my unloaded miles all you want. That is only if FedEx will okay them. By not paying me 100% of the FSC that is charged to the customer...

Phil I said the rest of our trucks. I had nothing to do with a billing error. It was many different things. Like the saftey department for starts. The list goes on Phil. Our drivers wanted to leave a year ago, but I wanted to stay at a company that like you and I loved to work for. FedEx...

Phil I gave you what you gave me, one load. I also said that it was to soon for me to give you the numbers because it has only been a few weeks. I also said that if you want better numbers ask DaveKC or JaminJim. Phil I also said that the team loads wasn't as long as FedEx as of yet. You keep...

Okay Philly
