    I'm getting paid how..?

    I'm pretty sure most people who get 40%, get it before fuel costs. The owner would just pay fuel and keep the fuel surcharge for themselves. Some people say paying for the fuel themselves, and getting 60% plus FSC, make a little more sometimes. On some trips we get, if you do the math...

    anyone know?

    Has anyone else heard that you can get some sort of printout from Comdata giving you the amount of all fees you've paid to them? For tax purposes I'd like to have one. I had heard you could, but can't find anything on their website about it. For example, when you register money from your card...

    internet question

    Okay...I heard someone once say they used one of those antennas that boosts their signal, and it works for their wireless signal too. Maybe with that it wouldn't be too bad. Did the tmobile internet work only where you had tmobile, or is it wherever you have any signal from a tower? Thanx

    My Wife

    That's really sad for both of you. One of the hardest things in life for women, I think, is when they want to have a baby but can't for some reason or another. Everywhere you look, babies, everyone you know, getting pregnant or have babies. For some women, there is a void in your life that...

    internet question

    Hi...I was just wondering if anyone who has Tmobile phone service, also uses the Tmobile internet for their laptop, and has the aircard? If so...how does it work for you? Do you usually get a signal in most places, strong or weak signals...etc. Also, does it work everywhere you have any phone...

    Panther Drivers Council

    I really respect the driver's council and think it's nice that we have people who try and make a difference...not only for themselves, but everyone who works here. How do you submit a suggestion, or what have you to them on the driver's website? Also, these messages are sent to them without...

    Dog Chow & Walley World.

    That's so funny!!! Isn't it funny how some people don't ever realize when someone is telling them a joke? They just look all surprised, with this "Oh my gosh" face? Good one...

    I'm going to be sitting how long?

    Great post! We've found what you've said to be exactly true. You have to be patient, because everything is so uncertain. You have to plan to not be as busy, be thankful and run hard when it is...and always save your money. We love it, and wouldn't ever do anything else again! Good luck to...

    Panther rolls out new Board position and em program

    I agree...I think it will work good as long as people follow the suggestions and EM's, and let the computer know they are doing so. I think people just resist change. Leo...that's funny you are from Pearland? We live in Spring. Don't run into too many people doing this who live down there.

    straight trucks & truck stops

    LOL!!! That is so funny. I thought we were the only ones getting "the look". When you have a spot and they're driving by looking all hateful at you like you don't deserve the spot or something. We definately circle around and purposefully look for the spots they can't or would have a hard time...

    Panther rolls out new Board position and em program

    I really like being able to find out my board position without having to bug or wait on dispatch. I also like the new first out where if you have the manual first out and move to another board, it follows you. Also, that if someone else has one and they get there after you, they will show that...

    Slow rollin'

    I'm finding it strange...one week really good week with lots of load offers, the next only like 500 miles for the whole week as a team.

    Prepare For Your Trip

    That's a good idea about keeping your cell phone charged. I never thought of that, cause I usually let it get low, and then charge it all the way, but with not knowing what can happen in wintertime, it is a really good idea to keep it charged. I always make sure we have extra water, food, and...

    Glad This One's Off The Streets!!

    You've got to be kidding me? That is so funny. Whenever you're driving down the road, and some crazy driver is weaving in and out of traffic, cutting you off and almost running off the road, you wonder "where are cops when you need them?" The answer is there in that article....lol.

    able to claim?

    Cool! That's what I had heard, but wanted to see if anyone else had. Anything helps. It adds up over the year for two people.

    How to cope the slow season?

    One thing is if you don't own the truck, you don't make as much money, so it's a little harder to put money back. It seems like that's a big mistake people in this industry make. They have a really great week, spend all that money, and then then don't have any left for the next week that might...

    Panther Macro 8 being changed?

    Okay...it's Monday and still inaccurate! When is this supposed to change? Will be really nice. Like today, it said the board we were on there were 0 available. Then wrote and found out we were 4th out. So, still inaccurate.

    able to claim?

    Are you able to claim the insurance you're required to pay by the company (like $23 a person) every week? I guess it's workman's comp insurance. I haven't looked at the papers in so long, forgot what it's for...lol. Just wondered if you can use it as a deduction though. Anyone know?

    First quarter blues!

    It is slow in Texas. We went home for Christmas and got stuck there till way after New Years. Had a really good week last week, and then ended it with a load to Texas. Got stuck there for three days, then just a load in Texas...too many people sitting in Dallas, so we moved to Houston, and...
