Sitting @ a rest area between Tampa and Ocala Fla. on I-75. See a Kitty-Cat TT going southbound. On the side of the trailer under the Big Cats it said Panther Scientific Logistics. First time I've seen one of them. A new division for Panther?

Here's the problem.............W-A-Y back in April of 2005 I was stopped by the 'honorable' Texas Highway Patrol for a seatbelt violation. He did a full level 1 inspection of the truck, which passed, checked my log book and my co-drivers. Was a disagreement on if I was supposed to be still...

Unfortunately I've been 'sidelined' and retired because of physical problems. Sure do miss the road. Reading the posts keeps me 'connected' with the industry and friends that I've met thru exprditing. I have to admit that I DON'T miss all that snow and cold though. Battling the cold, the...

Is anyone familiar with or know anything about Hana Express in Frankfurt Ill.???? Small expedite company that has straight trucks and vans.

I need a little advice on what to do about this. I'm sure other's have found themselves in this situation. Curious on how they handled it. I drove for an van owner for about 9-10 weeks. The original agreement was a 80/20 split. Van owner brought up the 80% to me + 100% FSC, I take care of all...

I lost a load the other day simply because I had my dog with me in the van. We're talking about a 15 lb. miniature pinscher..wow, BIG DOG!!! I tried everything that I could think of to apease the shipper. First he said I couldn't take the 5 small boxes, totaling a whopping 150 lbs. because the...

Is it just me or have other's noticed that the 'skill levels' of big truck drivers is obviously on the decline. I was in the T/A in Rogers, Mn. laid over for a couple days waiting to get some issues with my liscense straightened out. I was parked over on the side where most of the straight...

Would appreciate any info anyone has on ACDC Logistics based out of Cleveland, Ohio. I"m thinking about driving for them, but don't now much about them. They have several trucks leased to Panther II and Tri-State. Trying to get as much info as I can before putting my name on the dotted line...

Quick question, I haven't driven in a couple years and my hazmat has expired. I'm trying to get back driving and need the endorsement back. What's the routine now? I talked with the liscensing beaureau here in Mo. and the woman wasn't exactly sure. From what she said, first you have to...

The state of Missouri has been declared a disaster area by Pres. Bush. If your traveling anywhere on the eastern 1/3 side of the state, be aware of the conditions from Fenton, Mo. just south of St. Louis, all the way south to the Ark. border. I-55 is open and dry with no problems but be...

Just curious........how are people rated on here? I see some listed as senior members, members, and junior members. And how do people get ratings, and considered senior members, members and junior members? What's the difference between junior member, member and senior member?? For example, and...

I have an idea, why not change the name of one of the forums to "Panther Pages".......sure are alot of panther II drivers on here whining and complaining........ You'd think they would use the website that panther supplies to their o/o's and drivers to vent their complaints about the company...

Is anyone else having problems logging in now that the format has changed??? I can't get EO to accept my old password

I've read over and over on here of some contracted driver getting taken advantage of by some truck owner looking for a driver. Or problems arising from things that weren't mentioned in the contract or talked about before signing. I wonder what the truck owner's reaction would be if when it came...

I've read over and over in this forum O/O's talking about the cost of putting a new driver thru orientation, etc. Can someone put some numbers here, explaining the expenses of hiring a new driver for their T/T, S/T or van???? Just curious. When I went thru orientation, I paid for my own drug...

In response to Broompilots post. First of all, thank you Broompilot for the post!! We all need to stop, take a breath once awhile and count our blessings. This is what my wife and I would do while we were "beating up and down" the road. You've all seen these people around truck...

I've been reading posts on here daily for probably the past 6 months...And I feel this needs to be said, sorry if I ruffle any feathers.......well, on second thought, I"m not sorry. I read this morning the post from the guy looking for a good, honest o/o to contact his friends and talk with them...

My turn to brag about the expedited industry and my previous (and only) owner I've driven for. We started in expediting without a clue as to what it was all about. Luckily we got on with owners, husband/wife that knew the business. At the time, they had 4 straight trucks and 3 vans on the road...

I've always been curious, maybe someone can shed some light on the subject. I just can't understand why someone would "contract" with an owner to drive their truck and pay for the fuel themselves? I know you have to figure in the fuel surcharge, but how much does that really offset the fuel...
