    US to Panama Expediter such a thing?

    Lots of expats living in Panama. Wondering if trucks/vans provide service via Panama American highway through Central American countries from USA? Looks pretty complicated. Ocean shipping probably the norm, but maybe someone does the overland route? A any thoughts?

    Great stuff folks! Second recruiter called today, decal research locally affirms taking them off not that big of real. The stealth thing with decal makes sense on the blending in. Do decals ever cause you any no entry issues? Bad example but something like taconic parkway ny, National parks...
