    Expedite out of Seville Ohio....worked for a Panther contractor (they are all owner op) back in like 06 for about six months and he was one of the highest paying and even with my dispatcher playing favorites (related to the owner of my truck) giving me quick outs...I did a ton of sitting sometimes. The money was..eh. I can only imagine how bad it is today. The upside was....I would get into an area like Nashville where 20 guys were sitting for a few days waiting on loads...I would have time to eat dinner and getting the call to roll. Should have seen how pissed some of them were...hehehehe

    Yeah I wasn't sure how they were now. Seen they used to be big before then all of sudden they disappeared and a lot of their equipment went up for sale and now I'm starting to see them again. I know they pay owner ops/lease 1.40+ FSC . Just seems a bit odd. Something doesn't add up. I want to know their history

    The great recession has had a huge toll on expedite plus all the companies going overseas....

    I just always thought Expedite garnered a premium price. Kinda the whole point, evidently I'm wrong....I don't get the point of it....

    I see way more Panther trucks sitting than moving. I saw one at the Petro in Carlisle Pa parked in front row handicapped spot when I got there Wednesday afternoon at 1 pm. Still there when I pulled out Thursday after noon, maybe he was doing a reset??? Maybe not.
     
    SteeringWheelHolder411 Thanks this.
