    Panther does not have employees, but they will help connect you with an owner operator, as will most expediting companies.

    You will be sitting a bit between loads. Personally, I like OTR more than expedite, for just that reason. One week I'd take home 1500, the next I'd have 600. Location is EVERYTHING!

    Thinking about it, an expedite straight truck just might be your speed. If you like doing Michigan locals and regionals moreso, I would suggest Load One out of Taylor. They also have the occasional longer run to Laredo, or something like that.

    Not too exciting here. I’m basically stay at home other than dialysis. I play Conan on PS4 now. A friend has a private server. Can’t do much because I’m immune compromised. On a bright side, I got a second settlement check from CR England class action case. That was unexpected. Just waiting it out

    I’m building a large bird feeder post. I’ll have a box top ( just a rectangle with sides, no actual top) and four hangers for hooking separate feeders. I figured if I can’t go outside, I may as well watch birds at a buffet. (The post if a 4”x4” 5’ tall)

    I ordered an acoustic bass guitar to help pass the time. It arrived today and I realize how out of practice I am and how non existent my callouses on my fingers are. So I’m going to grill steak for dinner to compensate

    Late April and I wake up to an inch of snow. I made beef stew from bone broth to warm me up. I wish I bought a food truck. I’d be out there serving all the drivers out there with alternative to fast food. And I’d be deemed essential.

    Got up early for dialysis. Went to the garage to start the car, then kicked my lawnmower, and it hurt. It dawned on me someone needs to invent steel toed socks. They should be in every home by Christmas.

    My neighbor asked me if he trimmed some tree branches, would I burn them in my pit. I said sure. I wasn’t aware these “branches” were going to be logs. I’m on day 3 of bonfires to get rid of the thin branches but I’m set for campfire wood when I go.
