Truth in posting

panther_art · Sep 23, 2006

This site was designed for helping those that are planning to get into the expedite business and to help those that are already expediters. So how about when someone is asking about a company only reply if you know something about that company.

Some are posting on here that can't say if there company is good or bad, and they have the nerve to use that companies name as there stage name.

I suggest that anyone inquiring about any of the companies out there do a search and check some of the post in the past.

Every company out there have there good points and bad points, most of how you make it with any one of them is up to you.

Thank you and please stop giving bad advise.

I couldn't agree more. I agree that every company has its positives and negatives and I think many times people post because they are frustrated or upset about a company. I have read many contradictory posts from people. One day they love the company, the next day they hate it. I can say that I have learned a great deal about this industry from this forum but most of the good advice has come from posters who have a good reputation in this business.

I am pretty sure I know which individual sparked the need for this post. I think from now on we should refer to this person as "the angry kitty"...

I was being sarcastic, letsrock if you dislike me so much take me off your buddy list... some of the posts i put on here were out of frustration and angry about certain situations, i apololagize to everyone for that ( not that anybody cares)
I can only post MY experiences with panther and they are all truthful, ive had 4 load offers going on 13 days 1 i refused because it was not my rate and was going into new jersey, if they would have given me my rate i would have excepted it...
Personaly I think panther has too many trucks and too little freight, because before the aqusistion of conway, we were rocking and rolling and now were sitting and watching tv...

Before the aqustistion of conway I think panther was a top notch company, maybe they still have kinks to work out and I hope they resolve that pretty soon, because were losing money out here , I dont think anybody could survive on 3 loads in 13 days (2100)miles

If theres any other panther drivers out there, id like to hear how there running? good or bad, but I can guess theres alot more people wondering where the loads are too

Just stop posting went someone is asking about a company you know nothing about.

You can say all you want about Panther and yes I agree before the Conway buyout I was moving alot but now its has slowed down.

But I am not sure if it is because of the buy out or because we lost the driver relation thing.

Believe me I sometimes feel like Panther when back instead of forward.

Just trying to give it some time for new dispatchers to work out bugs.

You're not on my buddy list because you're not my buddy.:-( I don't dislike you: I don't even know you. All I do know is that you are posting conflicting information.Spewing hate doesn't help anyone and it isn't going to make your carrier a better a company. It can only affect the way others look at you...If it is truly as bad as you say it is then try another company.

Bama, you've said it all... in more ways than one.

Something everyone should understand here. When someone finds a relationship (business or otherwise) that makes them think it's the best thing since sliced bread, then have it turn a 180 on them, they have a right to be bitter. Granted, pantherii might be going over the top, but look at his situation. If everything he's saying is fact, he's in a world of hurt.

Pantherii, you need to think things over. If you're waiting for your company to change overnight, it ain't gonna happen. One thing you don't have available is the opportunity to turn back time. Seriously consider going to another company if things are that bad. Cause I see things are moving elsewhere, and you have the opportunity to take advantage.

I'm not against Panther. But I see a relationship that has gone sour, and has to end since it can't be fixed. Panther is a great company for a lot of ppl. Likewise, it can be a nightmare if it's allowed to... just like any company.
