    Self Service RV Wash

    This morning I took a chance at the RV wash on the south side of the Mystic Lake Casino complex. I put a $10 bill in the machine, pulled the lever and 10 shiny wash tokens came tumbling out. My lucky day! The wash bay is huge and has two catwalks allowing a person reach the vehicle roof. I...

    Storm Freight

    Has anybody picked up freight that went expedite due to the ice storm. I would think LTL carriers are beginning to get backed up and some customers may want their shipments expedited. Could be a good week for expediters.

    Get Out And Vote

    I did my civic duty and voted. Tonight I will marinade a large green olive, stuffed with a pimento, in a glass of gin with just a few drops of vermouth and watch the election returns. Tomorrow I go back in service regardless of who won the presidential election. .

    Panther Forum

    I believe it is time to update the name of this forum to more accurately reflect the carrier for who the forum is named. Panther has long had an identity crisis. Why add to the confusion. Panther Expedite is now Panther Premium Logistics. If the name of this forum was updated to the new name...
