Let Panther for 6 mos and now I am back, came back on Jan 23.
Had 4 loads for a total of 970 miles.
Before I left did about 2000 mile a week avg. for the year.
5 years with them and now I always seem to be on the wrong board even when I am within a couple of miles of a town, I end up being on boards more then 50 miles.
Had a cash flow when I came back but thats all gone now. The first two weeks I sit on almost every board in eastern Ohio and got nothing.
Right now I am in Carisle, PA at the J broke out of gas just about and no money and no loads, so I can't move.
Talked to dispatch and was told that there was nothing on the board in Harrrisburg Board, and there was 2 vans that came in this morning that would get out first because I was 2 miles off that board, even though I have been here 2 days they had to get loaded first.

Wow that Post was depressing. Out of Gas out of $ funds back fiunds depleted?

How could you let this happen? Now what is your plan? 2 miles off the board you know the system better than that, if not you will in the future.

I wish you well, and more than that I hope you get a suprise load SOON.

dispatch is going to do him in for 2 lousy miles????

Just re-inforces my belief that boards are useless.
