    WORKED FOR THREE WEEKS NO PAY ,,,LOTS OF DEDUCTIONS,,NO PAY, Here's the deal yea they are a safe company but if you figure their system you wouldn't even drive for them they wait untill a carrier cancels then they jump on it at their rate,,BUT ,the key word is WAIT, They send you somewhere and then you sit for hours upon hours (sometimes days) before they get you a load out. They tell you that you'll drive at least 2500 miles a week and make great money realality is you may drive the miles but you don't make the money.They take your dreams of being able to survive in these times and just crumble them. When you call to get information on your pay they send you to many different people with many different reasons why you aren't going to recieve a paycheck. I could write for days on all the lies they tell you but I have to get back out on the road with a real company this time..

    Sorry to hear of your problem. I guess being a "better" company with a great safety record and safe drivers doesn't guarantee great treatment as some feel it would. Hopefully you can get this worked out or find someone else to work for that will help you with what you need. Keep us posted.

    I have yet to hear anything good about expediting
    Panther is a OO company right??
    Did you have your own truck or driving for somebody else?
    What kind of fee's?
    Were you on percentage or mileage?

    Maybe this is a new concept in the trucking industry to help company bottom lines: volunteer truckers. LOL.

    Well, very few of us had to do that "volunteer" work in high school - looks like maybe the Clintons are catching up to us:biggrin_25511:
