We've never heard of them, but from their web site they seem to be more closely aligned to courier work than expediting. A search of the forums doesn't reveal any negative or positive comments.
Many of you folks that have cooking conveniences in your sleepers often prepare food in advance and freeze for later consumption. I'll share a little known secret with y'all. When you boil a pot of water and have some leftover, put it in the freezer and the next time you need boiling water for...

On behalf of my fellow veterans and drivers, we thank you for your offer of gratis help to locate people that our members might be looking for or just answer general question for free so long as it is not too time consuming.

Your comments would leave one to believe that you are running a cash business, you don't have the necessary government authority or oversight, you keep little or no records of your daily revenue or expenses, and you throw a few scraps to the IRS on April 15.

You didn't step on my toes nor offend me or my chosen carrier, and I wasn't yelling at you. I was offering an opinion and a few facts. One thing you are right about, Panther is not the best company out there, neither is any other expedite carrier. There is no one carrier suited for...
