    Would going the Panther route be worth it?
    I was told you do 6 months of straight truck then I can move up to TT.
    3-4weeks OTR and the owner pays the driver, its team driving.

    That seems like a good plan. The only negative I've heard about Panther is the cargo van drivers get stuck for long periods of time in various places. Haven't heard that about the box trucks and TT's.

    Do you already have a CDL-A?
    Where are you in Florida; which city/town are you near?
