    I have been with Panther for two months. The first O/O was paying me .32cpm. I switched owners and now make a percentage. We had a crappy week, but I still made $760. My pay is based on the revenue the truck makes that week. I drove about 800 miles. Do the math; I will make a lot more money for this owner.

    The other O/O will not be able to keep any co-drivers once he/she finds out what other owners pay.

    The owner pays for the fuel, plus he gets the fuel surcharge.

    Oh, I made $717 for 2 days of driving. Not bad.

    I find that hard to believe, but if it's the truth good for you. I make that and a little more, but have to bust my butt 5 days a week.

    Why is that hard to believe. I also work on percentage and get 25% of the haul.

    It is normal for me to easily make $700 in 2 days. I average about $1000 a wk and
    and most of the time it is closer to $1800 and that is only working about 3 or 4 days
    a week home most every night.

    I just find it hard to believe, I've always heard expediting is a hard way to go, especially in these times. I'm not discounting what anyone says, I just wonder what expenses he has to shell out of pocket, he says he doesn't pay the fuel which is good, it's not a bid deal bud I just don't see the likelihood of it, but I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time.

    Beans what kind of truck are you in?

    Been with Panther since July and we have been paid a percentage all of the time. We pay for the fuel and tolls, and we feel rather successful. Using the definition of successful of money in the bank and bills paid.

    We drive a freightliner and we don't pay for anything. To the person who does not know how to read: PANTHER EXPEDITED is where I work.

    Also made $717 for driving two days.
