    Hey Panther cargo van drivers

    The fleet message (in part) said it would be a "recorded message" of FAQ's received by owner/drivers via email. It also said it would be available on the owner/drivers web.

    H/W Team Question

    We don't have set shifts. We split the driving, hubby usually opens doors, I usually back into the dock, either one of us takes care of paperwork at the shipper/receiver, I take care of the paperwork for the run. etc. We just swap back and forth, if I ended driving he starts the next shift, and...

    Why Do You Go Home?

    Someone mentioned motorcycles...that's part of the reason we go home. If hubby doesn't get to ride his bike at least once or twice every few months there is no living with him. :rolleyes: We go home to take care of things at home. To recharge the mental batteries, to sleep in our own house...

    Panther rolls out new Board position and em program

    Moot, there was a similar system at FedEx. I wish Panther would go to that type of system, it would be very simple.

    Great New Toy

    We also use NeatReceipts and until we had to purchase a new laptop with Vista on it, it worked great! With Vista, we had to purchase the latest upgrade to NeatReceipts, with that, we now have a problem. When printing a copy of the receipt/document it prints "shrunkin" images. The only tech...

    straight trucks & truck stops

    With the nose/turning radius this Star has....we are a "real truck" :eek: We just don't bend in the middle and sometimes that can also have it's challenges. Sometimes I still drive like I had a 53ft trailer. Going waaaay out into the intersection to make the turn. Or doing a setup to back...

    Panther rolls out new Board position and em program

    I am adding these "boards" to Streets and Trips as pushpins. In the list, I've discovered quite a few of the listings that have a zipcode listed that is no where near the town that is listed to match it. So which do I mark, the town or the zipcode? And just like others have stated, how far...

    New Advance Policy at Panther?

    We don't take advances, when the settlement is paid to our owner, he in turn pays us. We asked for it to be that way when we started. We don't pay for fuel, so it works for us. I can see both sides to the issue of a % when the load is picked up, or a % when the load is delivered. It may be...

    deer in the headlights

    We stopped at a Sonic Drive In and it was refreshing to see the young carhops be able to make change without the use of a computer. :)

    New Advance Policy at Panther?

    This thread has what to do with the original question??? As far as the original question, I don't know the answer to it. As far as points made in the thread...I do think that what the equipment looks like is relevant to the image of the company. I've seen some trucks that I wouldn't allow...

    Nutrisystem...

    I've heard other drivers use the system just for the simplicity of storage and the cost reduction as far as eating out. Please keep posting your progress.

    My Wife

    Ark you're a "good egg". No, you can't feel what your wife is feeling, but it sounds like you are there for her, and that's what counts. A baby will come if it's suppose to. Both of you get healthy and hang in there together. :)
