    Saying Good Bye to Trucking

    It is with a heavy heart that I am saying good bye to driving our straight truck. Jim passed away on October 27th from a massive heart attack. I am not sure what I am going to do but I promised Jim I would never go on the road without him (he was very protective), plus it would not be the same...

    Saying Good Bye to Panther

    Jim and I would like to say good bye to everyone at Panther. We have decided to go with another company that is more specialized and has fewer trucks. Before any thoughts, enter anyone's head, that this move is because of something that happened at Panther, it isn't. We feel we are able to...

    Would you be willing to shut down??

    After reading the posting about the April 1st shut down and how the Cattle haulers are hoping more trucks will follow and the couple of articles on OOIDA, I can't help but wonder, how many driver's on here would be willing to park their truck for a few days? And I am not talking about blocking...

    Thank You to Elite Dispatch

    I would just like to thank the Elite dispatcher's for all their help on Tuesday night, when Jim had to take me to the ER. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of so we did not have to worry about a thing. Once again, thank you for all your help and concern:):)

    1st Outs

    Why do some driver's feel the need to ask for a 1st out with each and every load? We have heard of driver's asking for a 1st out, with a load that is paying over 1000 miles, just because they feel they are going into a bad area, such as Laredo and Dallas. And some driver's are actually getting...

    Decided to call it a year...

    Since we are sitting at home already, we decided to call it a year instead of taking a chance of dead heading 100's of miles to get back home for the holidays. Just wanted to wish every one a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year!! Be Safe!

    Home Time

    I am sure this has been asked before but could not find it when I did a search. When ever we run into other driver's, it seems we always get on the subject of "home time". So, my question is, how long do you stay out for before going home and how long will you stay home?

    A Little Bit of Positive Input....

    Alright, it seems we all have something to complain about - no matter what company we work for. And sometimes it seems that no one is happy so I would just like to say a few things. Yes, there are things about Panther that I do not care for - hopefully the new council can help with some of the...

    Having an accident with under insured motorist...

    We were involved in an accident in Feb with a kid that had minimum coverage on his vehicle - which only covered the cost of repairing our truck and gave us a few dollars to cover our lost wages and added expense. After talking with many owner ops, we were told that our insurance should actually...
