My question is has anyone out there done this, if so what brand / model would you or did you go with and what kind of life did you get out of them? I want to try to figure out if it will be...

    From Panther

    Talked to panther was told that the 40% if you weren't compensated ie.. "full DH" or similar if you are offered full DH and still turn it down then it is still a refusal. They also said it would be something that we will all need to work through as refinements are put into place.

    As I stated earlier we did not make this change. We are not employed by panther. We have no say in policy changes. They asked us what we thought and we told them. The percent of drivers below 67% is low so for the rest of the drivers / owners it is a good thing. If you are not on a one rate for...

    Just wondering why you think the driver council should get the boot? This was not our idea. It was presented to us in a phone call.This really affects are people with low acceptance rates who by their own history will probably turn the run down anyways.
