I avoid California in General. They can have it.

I have a ford E-250 and have been running an extra battery in the back for about 4 years. It now wants to 'die' after about 2 hours of using a 300 watt inverter for only about 2 hours. I assume I ruined the charge and discharge cycles this winter when I introduced a 12volt electric blanket but I...

You guys can all bash Panther all you want but with that being said if you know how to work within the system, take profitable loads and be professional meaning do your job and do not be LATE, EVER, life at Panther can be rewarding. 10 years running for them and each and every year I have...

I have never cursed or shown anger at a dispatcher in 10 years with Panther. Safety on the other hand I have. Dispatch is not personal. they know me and what I will and will not do. BTW. get plenty of work and I have already achieved silver status with 3 weeks left in June. Freedom of Speech so...

@blizzard For the record last YEAR I drove 71K loaded miles. 3180 paid for DH miles. I drove 104850 total miles and earned just over 77K in total revenue. It is not hard to make money out here but most of these whiners think their schit don't stink and think going to Canada is too difficult or...

Whoa wait a minute guys. I have a 2008 Ford E-250. I bought it used with 7189 miles on it. Today I am over 414,000 miles and maint wise I have put on a 6 tires, a alternator, a battery, front and rear brakes, a front left side ball joint, a few headlights and wiper blades, and a front spindle...

Laural or Lori Ohio to Romulus MI then off to Chicago then Emporium PA then St Mary's back to Chicago. My first week. 2003, June 10 year ago. OMG. 10 years. Two vans and still driving. Oh well.

Considering you have a CV and DH is mostly covered the only real consideration for a small load is A does it take you ta better area and B is it later in the day or early in the morning and C what are the loads like in general where you are located. I have been with panther for 10 years and I...

I have been at Panther for 10 years, well in June that will be true and I will run for less then contract rate if it going in a direction I want to go or to a better board or it is really hot or cold. I ran a .70 load for 814miles to canada this past week. A buddy of mind got an offer for...

is that dead wings casket from when my Preds knocked them out of the playoffs last year?

I run for Panther and drive a CV. From Jan 9th, when I came off Christmas Vacation to Feb 7th I did 9411 loaded miles then the following two weeks I combined for 215+638 that equals 853 and then last week I just did 1912 and Monday I am pre-dispatched on a 590 mile load. I do Canada and I have...

Well put. Did you consider opening a warehouse or two in the Zona border much like in the fashion of Laredo Tx to Mexico where California Compliant Trucks can pick up freight headed in and bring out freight to be swapped there headed east? California hates capitalism but loves spending and...

I drive a CV for a big company and have so for almost 10 years. 2011 I grossed 69k 2012 I grossed 76K I have a 2 1/2 year old and only spent 12 total weekends outs on the road. the longest was 19 days in June and averaged being away from home less then 5 days. I work for on company and have no...

I am curious. I have been doing this for a while, a tad over 9 years, I never recall anyone ever saying 'this is the best time I have ever had'. People generally only complain then remininence about how great things were but in reality there has never been a great time. People do the same thing...

Considering they keep finding new reserves and keep touting man made influence on climate I take most reports with a grain of salt. I remember the argument under Clinton about taking 10 years to get ANWAR up and running and that was well over 10 years ago. Imagine if we had the extra stock in...

I had a customer call my company and complain about me. I got to the cons, checked in and was asked to pull up to the dock. I then informed the woman that I am not dock high and need to use the ramp. She then cussed me out and called me a name under her breath. When she came out to get the...

When I posted 400k-600k here is how the math works: O money in the fund putting in 6000k a year or 500 a month in an mutual fund that gets 10%/yr return over 20 years comes out to 411K Same fund putting in 10K a year comes out to 632K after 20 years. Imagine putting in a car payment a month...

My van has a CD player with aux jack input for my laptop, two 5 1/2 in door speakers, a 250 watt phoenix gold amp and 10" JL Audio bandpass sub box....I am all most 39 and yes I still fit two pallets if needed but I will watch my movies in surround sound and yes I installed it myself. Blackouts...

I have been with the same company for all most 9 years but the SS statements I get in the mail say my benefits will be around 138$ a month and since I have not paid into the "system" I do not expect anything from it. I am two years away from being debt free except the house, the wife has a small...

I live near Nashville. I get out Monday most weeks sometimes Tuesday. I drive for Panther. Chicago is a great city for freight.
