i drive for panther 2 in a sprinter van. i live in ionia mi, at home i sit on 3 boards, last year i never sat more then a day after signing in and was never ever higher then 5th out, today i am 7th out and it will take two days to get a 1st out, the only way it will be any quicker is if i take a crapp load that everyone else has turned down, such as to canada, or head north 150 miles for a 150 mile paid run, which has been turned down by everyone else. i turn down the crapp from get go, i refuse to deadhead 100% so therfore my acceptance ratio is down..therefore i am probably getting passed on the decent loads, however if i get out of michigan i usually do okay, last year this time i was averaging 2200 miles a week, this year, i am scraping bye, my partner in crime had 2000 miles paid last week but he deadheaded 1800 miles to get the paid miles, simply put, there is too many vans, i am seriously thinking of buying a straight truck, but many of the solo drivers i talk to with panther arnt making it either..it seems to be teams or nothing
