    I use the same Email as my wife, so she doesn't want me to give it out.
    I've read a lot about Panther; it seems ok to get started.
    Do you mean being an 0/0 for Panther?

    Pay doesn't look all that good. Hate to see you doing long haul trucking and barely make meal money. Check Florida Beauty Express, one driver right out of cdl school said his first paycheck was $1700 for one week. It's a hard running, multi-stop run to California is why the pay is good. Sometimes the run is a big triangle; Miami to California to New York back to Miami.
    I'd try that first and see how it works out. I think Florida Beauty Express has a terminal in Miami and in Orlando.
