Panther Webinar

The panel for this edition of the IN-SITE 2022 Webinar Series featured two of the key people overseeing the recruiting process at Panther Premium Logistics. Frank Tufano, the company’s Director of Owner-Operator Recruiting, and Cory Robertson, Account Manager-Fleet Recruiting, provided a detailed look inside the opportunities that are available at Panther as well as how the Panther team works to support trucking professionals running under Panther’s authority.

Frank and Cory also discussed Panther’s collaborative initiatives with ES over the years as well as how ES and Panther work together to support independent contract drivers, owner-operators and fleet owners utilizing the programs available from ES. One of the programs discussed during the webinar was the revolutionary non-traditional lease-to-own program that ES developed in collaboration with Panther Premium Logistics.

The ES Team was represented on the webinar panel by David Withers, Senior Director of Operations and Recruiting for ES, and Danny Vernon, the Director of Truck Sales & Finance at ES. David, with his experience in operations and recruiting, spoke to the overall scope of the offerings available from ES while also highlighting the strong working relationship with the team at Panther. Meanwhile, Danny served as a great resource for discussing the current state of equipment and the truck market while also addressing truck financing from ES.

This edition of the IN-SITE 2022 Webinar Series was moderated by Leah Shaver, the President and CEO of the National Transportation Institute (NTI). Founded in 1995, NTI has earned the reputation as a leader in the trucking industry for tracking company driver and owner-operator compensation history, changes and benchmarks. Leah, who also serves as a host on SiriusXM’s Road Dog Trucking Radio Channel 146, is one of the foremost experts in the trucking industry on topics related to compensation, driver recruiting and driver retention.

Throughout the webinar, Leah guided the panel through a number of timely topics that spoke to the interests of a very attentive live audience. Leah also incorporated nearly all the questions asked by the live audience, which sent questions through the chat portal on the webinar platform. The questions allowed the panelists to go into greater specifics on the programs available from ES and Panther, and the responses by the panelists promise to be of great interest to viewers of the webinar replay.

As you will see near the conclusion of the replay, the timing of this webinar is especially ideal for anyone who is interested in attending the upcoming Expedite Expo, which will be held July 15-16 at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne, Ind. Both ES and Panther Premium Logistics will be on the ground at the Expedite Expo with company representatives and dedicated booth space.

As we have shared in previous editions of Spotlight News, ES is serving as the presenting sponsor at this year’s Expo, and ES will have the largest booth presence at expedited trucking’s most prestigious annual gathering. ES will also be hosting the IN-SITE Dinner At The Expo at the event on the evening of July 15. We encourage you to register for both the Expedite Expo and the IN-SITE Dinner At The Expo.
