Dont do it.... I came over thinking i could run less (i own my own truck) and make the 1.45 +fsc.
They dont rum you enough consistanly...your waiting in line on a board where ppl can skip you.
Dont deliver early in am bc exp freight dont leave until later in evening or night.
They only have one terminal and its no parking for oo.. They make you buy their bard for $240 ..escrow 100 week for god knows how long... Huge oldfashion ### qualcomm.
If your teams i know uou can get paod really good. Bc my parents are here. Bc you can run any time of day or night and exp is great for that.
1.57 teams with haz. They pay loaded and deadhead.
They will pay empty if its in their best interest...not if you wanna move to better location.
Solo Ld/dead head 1.40 +.05 if you have haz. .30 empty

They will PREACH to you its not only miles...its the bo us they guve you.. You have to negotiate a bonus from panther dispatchers..
And its not a real bonis.. Its just help with gas money to get you out of washington...or florida... Couple hundred to spend the next day deadheading back to there service area to wait in line.
A LOT OF SITTING... I DONT mind sitting if im being paid good... But not being ran enough..waiting in line...watching ppl skip you...## that ####.
OHHH and they will get you home if its on the way. They wont help you get home..they will put you in line for a load to get you home OR....which you will most likely do is get a backhaul where they will send you (panther approved) brokers with the cheapest #### available to get you home..or back to their prime area.
They are robbing ppl...exp probably pays 4..$5 pm... Its late...its #### other companies broke down or canceld on shipper..and they might lose customer.. Its not cheap..they just pay a little more to drivers to keep you on call.
Ive been here 45 days to give it a go..and its been shady since day one.
PRO...bc im not against them ..im just being honest.
I did get load from ga to cali. 2100 miles @1.45 +.16fsc... Did 34..got load from san diego ca to tn..1800 miles..sat 2 1/2 days got load to baltimore GREAT money.... THEEEEN i sat in baltimore for 5 days on their board that loads aveage 10 loads a day and im first in line for load.
....im going back to landstar..shouldnt have left ...just thought less miles..same money.

You are right. I got with Panther on November 29 and I had only one hometime ( 4 days ). I am broke. They don't have enough business period. Long wait time and all short trips. They dime and nickle you with their loads. Meanwhile I have heard they post sometimes their loads on their loadboard other companies can place their bets on them.
I will be outta this company soon.
