actually there are a few real old timers who get a buck a mile but very few.

I would understand it if I was a brand new hire, but its the same van same driver.

Must be I cant get anyone at panther to explain/justify it to me. Leave it to these people to nickel and dime a driver every chance they can

apparently its the new rate but they arent taking on any new vans only a year and a half too late. appearently a new contract

Both the owner and someone at panther. havent gotten ahold of the recruiter my owner spoke with but someone who couldnt really explain why.

The guy I've been driving for for panther since Jan 06 has decided to give me the van Ive been in since then. 2003 ford 350 with 620k miles on it. He called panther to see what has to be done. Theres the legal crap as far as transfer. I get that. Then he informs me that instead of $.77 a...

then make sure he doesnt survive. he has no right to be jumping on your truck.

who cares if he gets injured? he shouldnt jump on the running boards. i hope he falls under the wheels. how do you know he doesnt have a gun and plans on hijacking you?

no I wont be a driveby poster, but then again I wont be one of those who gets on here everyday and types something just to see my number of posts go up. There is too much of that here and on other boards that I read.

like I said im not asking to be treated better then anyone else and I know I wont get rich doing this job. thats not my intent But is it too much to ask that the companies treat the drivers like humans instead of just dumb cattle? You might be on a good relationship with a couple people in...

If you get hired on and they say if you do this, this and this and you do it and for the first 6-12 months it works you tend to think they might be right. But then they start changing the rules and treating you worse and worse, how is that fair or right? I know I can quit and go somewhere...

Are you a van or a Straight truck? If you are a straight truck, then it doesnt matter because you operate under a whole different set of circumstances. Its in the companies best interest to keep you happy and moving because you are very versitile. You cant take loads that a van cant for size...

a sunshine enama is when the paint you the rosiest picture of how wonderfull the company is and how lucky you are to be working for them. You will be making so much money with them that you wont know what to do with it all. After a few weeks you then realize how wrong they are.

No I shouldnt have picked another profession I love this job. Its the rules have changed since I started. The owners and executives have gotten greedy at the expense of the drivers. The theroy that "they want a truck/van/tt on every street corner so that when the customer calls they can...

First of all star, you are wrong i am back. First of all what is a dbp? second of all im not refering to bs as 2 drivers sitting and talking Im talking about the companies and their bs and the cheerleaders who dont nthink that the companiesn do anything wrong. Secondly i dont speak for...

Ive been reading the board for a while and its getting a little deep here. The drivers getting 2-3k a week are straight truck drivers not the cargo vans. And the straight trucks are taking van freight. How do I know this? I drive a cargo van for a man that drives a straight truck and he...
