So I take it that I have to pay the taxes at the end of the year-What about S.S.and unemployment do I pay that to?
Is it common for Panther to pay an advance? I don't think I would need one,I have some money to get by on,but I'm wondering how long does it take to get paid-a week, a month?
Do I sign some kind of a contract with the fleet owner?

You get a 1099. Panther gives no advances. It depends on how you and your owner set things up is how you get paid. Yes there are contracts

Greg Sevcik Thanks this.

So will it look funny to ask a fleet owner for a contract?Should I get it in writing about --How much per mile? What about the fuel surcharge do I need to get that in writing also?And what if I break down on the road do I pay for the repair myself and have him give it back to me later?That repair part I 'm not O.K. with. -
All owners have contracts. The company pay you FSC if you are the one paying for the fuel. It depends each load pays different. Same with miles each load might pay different. Usually the owner of the truck pays for all repairs. I know ours does he is great about it
Greg Sevcik Thanks this. -

Thanks for the info. You say FSC---is that like a debit card? Does the Co.give you that when you start driving for them? -
Its an amount paid to compensate the person buying the fuel over and above a set price in the contract based on a certain miles per gallon
It will very depending on the price of dieselGreg Sevcik Thanks this. -

I am not really sure what the numbers are for a expedite truck
The numbers here are for semi
Also the base price is now $1.25 to $1.50 not $1.15, but gives you a good idea on how it worksRocks Thanks this. -
Panther uses Comdata the load up to 45% onto your card
