    I was in ohio a few weeks ago, got there around 3... There was 6 panther trucks some tractor trailers, and some straight truck, they were all still there when i left out around 9am, but then again I've been noticing truck stops full mid day. Its a bad sign...

    We are the first ones to see problems coming hence the reason why I haven't jumped to any other company right now

    The guy had 5 trucks with teams leased to Panther and over a month ago he leased those trucks to me with solo drivers, said they were sitting 4-5 days at the time. The problem is, I don't know if it's gonna be worth keeping those trucks. Last two weeks things have been so bad, that the only way to survive I see right now is the truck owner has to drive himself. There is no point of keeping drivers at the moment, unless they are willing to take a pay cut.

    Until the economy picks back up and we get more US manufacturing back....if that ever happens. I just do not see where expediting is profitable.

    I've thought about it at points- however the grass isn't always greener lol. I was inquiring about Panther just out of curiosity. I remember them being popular then one day they just disappeared. Curious what happened to them and how they r now

    Some ups and downs brother. Ever since I went in for service in Denton Texas, I haven't been too happy with hirshbach. They started moving and changing #### on the truck and I dodnt have a say. No XM radio and no directTV in my truck. It doesn't work because they ####ed with it when it was perfectly fine and now it doesn't work- then add in issues with DM's and planners. We have been going around the last couple of weeks but def had words with head of DM's and whoever calls or acts ####ty to me. I don't like it when people screw with my money
