While the Arrow situation is far from settled an industry bright spot developed as individuals and carriers rose to help stranded Arrow drivers get home. While Panther Expedited Services is not the carrier Diane and I contract with, it pleased me to no end to see Panther rise to the cause.
Panther's response was immediate and meaningful. Insurance and passenger policies were quickly put in place that made it easy for any Panther contractor who wished to do so to use his or her truck to help get an Arrow driver home.
Panther executives made a heads-up call on this. They deserve high praise. This expediter will not soon forget the extra mile Panther went to help get Arrow drivers home who were stranded by no fault of their own.
Bravo, Panther! Bravo!
