    Yes I do.....Like anything else...it is all about making connections and who you know. I did not make the rules...I just learned how to play the game....don't hate me for being a good player...loser. ;)

    If wheels aren't turning you aren't earning.. Throw deuces and roll. It's all about using every advantage you have to succeed.

    BINGO!
    Despite what some would like to think...this is a tough industry and unfair but that is life too.

    I've been looking at going to panther for straight truck. I've been driving a tow truck for a bit but ready for something else. Couldn't find anything updated for panther. So can you please give me some pros and cons to panther?

    If you have your own tow truck...I would look to repo before ever considering Panther.... Expedite is great for someone like retired folks...retired military or someone that has an extra income....Other than that I would never recommend it.

    That within itself is an entertaining idea... Personally I'd finance out an3 car wedge or 4 car trailer then get a dually or a small single drive axle semi. You can pull off load boards and run auto auction or personal transport. Decent money.

    I worked repo PT when I was in the Army and made some decent money even part time and it was a rush making off with a car....some we towed...some we were given keys to. Legal grand theft auto ;)
    Might go back to that again sometime working for myself....

    I am with Panther. There is no money here period. You will sit around for days. When I call them to complain about zero loads they just send you to their backhaul department. Those guys send you few phone numbers to call around. All trips are short. If you try to use any other loadboards available be aware there are a few logistic companies don't do business with Panther. If you find a good one make sure it is east of Mississippi. If you find ones to Florida you better have an address there otherwise they don't let you to book a load there. If you use lots of backhauls and you have to because you can't rely on their expedite loads they will give you a hard time how you should do Panther loads. When you ask for Panther ones you have to wait for a day or more. Meanwhile you are making zilch. All in all you will go broke if you join Panther.
