Job Description

Panther is a leading transportation company specializing in expedited freight services across the United States. Dedicated to providing reliable and timely delivery, Panther offers opportunities for professional drivers to advance their careers while maintaining independence and control over their schedules. The company fosters a supportive environment by offering flexible options tailored to the needs of drivers and teams, ensuring that they stay busy and earn top pay based on performance. Panther's lease purchase program, available exclusively for team CDL-A contractors, allows drivers and their co-drivers to transition into truck ownership with ease, providing no money down and no minimum credit requirements. This comprehensive program offers flexible financing solutions through an independent third party, Expediter Services, allowing team drivers to buy their own trucks with scheduled payments deducted directly from weekly settlements. This unique model empowers drivers to operate independently while benefiting from the backing of a reputable carrier known for its dedication to driver support and high-value freight. This employment opportunity is ideal for experienced CDL-A teams looking to work for themselves, set their own schedules, and see the country while earning competitive pay. Panther handles the logistics and provides a 99% no-touch freight environment, allowing drivers to focus on safe and efficient deliveries. With 24/7/365 support from the driver support team, access to fuel surcharges in addition to standard shipment rates, and consistent weekly settlements, this position offers a stable income potential combined with the freedom and flexibility that many drivers seek. Drivers must meet certain requirements, including age and driving record, and all drivers and vehicle owners operate as independent contractors under this program. This structure ensures that owners have maximum control over their business while Panther provides the necessary resources and contracts to keep teams moving and earning. This position is ideal for professional driving teams committed to safety, precision, and reliability who want to leverage Panther's exclusive leasing and freight opportunities to grow their businesses and own their equipment.
