We just thought we would say hi, and see how life on the road is going for everyone? We had to park last fall after five years had a great run, just couldn't last the really slow spell. We thought we could park the truck and find jobs within a few days, that didn't happen. It took six weeks of...

We just heard Panther has cut teams and fleet owners who have either caused problems or are less than profitable. If a team worked for a poor fleet owner they were cut as well. Guilt by association I guess. Has anyone else heard this, or was our source fired without cause? I couldn't imagine a...

I find this hard to believe, we just took off the last two weeks. Our percentages right now are 75 accept and 63 in service. We worked sixty days then took off two weeks then worked 24 days and have been off 15. The numbers are on a 30 day cycle or something of the sort, otherwise right now we...

I see the problem with the cords ans chains but what is wrong with tee shirts. We wear tee shirts all the time.

Why go to wok for someone else if you already own your van? There are a few team vans on with Panther already. A lot of our freight is van loads that need a team to run them so we get it in a straight truck. What if your wife does not like it after a few weeks then you have to go Through the...

We have had three different times when the rigmaster just shut down. I then just changed the fuel filter and filled the chamber with diesel kleen. Afterwards just restarted and it ran just fine. Twice it was below freezing, but I could not tell if the fuel was gelled or if it was just time to...

The whole first out thing is getting a bit crazy. We talked to a team a while back that was sixth first out. The best thing about the first out board is that it follows you, unlike normal board positions. If you are first out in nowherville then go to bigcityville and be first out. Dispatchers...

Only one more week I cant wait, its been to long without NASCAR. I only hope Newman has better luck this year he has been in a terrible slump. I think making Kurt Busch his teammate has jinxed him. What did everyone think about the shootout. I bet budweiser wasn't to happy junior won. April moore

We have trouble getting our pay about every two weeks. There have been some loads we had to scan in three times before they would accept them. We have had trouble if we email them in or transflo. I think they just lose the paper work and say it wasn't sent in. We have two loads in the system...

Back when we ran for Conway we had to call in on a team. They had a three year old in the truck that the carrier, nor the fleet owner knew about. We hated doing it, but they were bragging about how sneaky they were. We told them it wasn't safe or legal they just said "No one else is raising my...

Hi, everyone I dont post very often mainly my husband does, but I felt the need to reply to this one. When we started driving 4 1/2 years ago we signed on with this company. They had an add in our local newspaper and we went to a seminar at a local hotel and they set us up with them. We knew...

This is the same as panther has done to us a number of times, but we learned to call safety before we make our first del after time off. Just tell safety you need to speak to a supervisor and if you are under load they will take you off check hold. If you were out longer than two weeks and the...

We would have offered to run the load for $900.00. If it was end of the day on Friday, when it was offered and not 10:00 am. Then we never would have even considered. We ran a load a while back 145 miles to the pu 150 miles loaded. We had just dh 150 after sitting a day after dh from Orlando to...

We will be at home cooking a big thanksgiving dinner for family and friends. Robert will hopefully not burn down the house makeing his fried turkey. So if anyone gets stuck in east texas around longview give us a call 903-399-6669 and come have dinner with us. Happy...

That would result in another refusal, but if the load is 900 miles then we run the mileage and it turns out to be 970 driven miles. That makes it acceptable. We do run a flat rate, and we will run long dead heads for a good load, but anything under 400 miles has to be real close to right.

We use microsoft streets and trips with GPS to check our mileage. Every once in a while we get an offer that will be off by 70 miles even on shortest. When we call to complain we are usually told "This customer gets household miles." Whatever that really means. If the load is good enough we will...

South of Nashville. Trucks everywhere. Can't find anywhere to go to get a good spot.

We delivered in Dallas Tuesday morning and were sixth on the board. So we started towards Houston, had a load offer within the hour. Now we are stuck in TN. Good Luck

That's a tough one. Have you talked to multiple dispatchers about this. Sometimes weekend dispatchers and weekday have a totally different set of rules. We have trouble from time to time with dispatchers getting on a power trip, trying to control your every move. We were told once after getting...

The charges range depending on what you are doing. When we were with conway the charge was .50 for debit and 1.00 for fuel. Now that we are with panther it is 1.50 for fuel 2.50 for cash with fuel and 1.50 for debit. There is a site. It will tell youj daily usgage fees to make it easy tosort ot...
