Do you think Mr. Eubanks would have sued Panther before it was taken over by a larger carrier?
In fact, that's exactly what he did. The Eubanks complaint was filed on 12/13/11. The Panther takeover by Arkansas Best concluded on 6/15/12.
I was surprised to learn that the Eubanks case survived the takeover. When one company is sold to another, it is common practice for pending litigation to be disclosed. I presume that was done when Arkansas Best purchased Panther. I also figured that this case would have been settled or otherwise made to go away before Arkansas Best sealed the deal. Obviously that did not happen, thus my surprise.
Liabilities including litigation costs for present and possible future cases are handled at the bargaining table before a sale is completed.
I understand that. It just surprised me that the gaining company took on Panther when the outcome of the case remained unknown.
As I thought about this sign I realized what a great sign it would be for Panther. Their reputation took a hit with this law suit and a little bit of public relations spin couldn't hurt, right?
I received notice by mail this week that I am included in a class action lawsuit, Eubanks v. Panther II Transportation Inc. If you were leased to Panther as an O/O between December 13, 1996 and September 6, 2013, you may be eligible for a payment from this class action settlement.

I am shocked and sadden by the allegations brought by Mr. Eubanks. I find it difficult to believe that my carrier, no, my PARTNER, would try and cheat me out of layover pay and mileage. Say it isn't so. Oh, woe is me! My trust and faith in my carrier has been decimated. How will I ever continue on? I guess $476.84 will help.
There is a hearing on the 16th of this month.

How many clairvoyant's do you think are on here?.
