    That's who I was thinking of when he said he was driving a van.
    Could be Matrix or Panther, but it seems Bolt is the worst out there.

    Okay. So when he does get a load he’ll be on here bragging about how much money he’s making and will be berating all those CPM drivers for working for cheap? Isn’t that the way it works?

    Panther is out of somewhere south of Cleveland, I don't know where Matrix comes out of.

    If he is sitting for 9 days, then he doesn't know how it works and maybe directing him to the right place for a load may help but he has to answer the questions.

    That is a very long time, the longest any one of our guys got stuck was for three days because of canceled load on a weekend.
    Is the unit broken down? or simply no loads

    Wow. 9 days? I won't even wait 9 MINUTES! I get empty, and they either have something for me to pick up on my way home, or I bounce home.
     
    Woodys and TripleSix Thank this.

    I hope you get paid by the hour. Are there good restaurants, a strip club, and a movie theater near by?

    Custom Critical tends to do straight truck and not vans though. Simple fact is it could be one of a hundred different companies though. I just found it funny ridgeline and I both thought the same crappy one.
