I have two dogs that travel with me. Never had a problem, Dispatch would tell me in Advance if they wanted me to keep them in the truck while on certain Consignee's Property. If we had been in the Truck for awhile I would stop just outside the gate, let them run then go on in.

panther "2" btw what happened to panther '1' that they had to try panther "2"??

One important item is to make sure your insurance carrier is OK with pets in the truck. Sometimes ther is a tiny clause that will state,"In the event of an accident we will not be liable if an animal was in the cab". They think it might be a distraction.

P11 was the original name, because Panther was started by 2 men, I believe. It has changed the name to Panther Expedited Services, but many folks still think of it as P11.
I, for one, wish companies would quit changing their names, all it accomplishes is confusion. More common sense, and less 'cutting edge public relations' ploys would be welcome.

Chinchillas make wonderful traveling companions.

FedEx Custom Critical will not allow you into the White Glove division with pets.

Woof, Woof, Bark, Yip, Yip, Bark, Bark, Woof, Woof

Translation: Tri State allows non-exotic pets.

Definition: Tri State allows dogs and cats.

I have a very well-trained Monk Parrot that I am teaching to bark like a dog and wear a minature Chiuhauha costume whenever we get inspected so I can take him on trips with me.
