MEDINA, Ohio, June 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Panther Premium Logistics(®), an ArcBest company (Nasdaq: ARCB), today announced the release of the Panther Fleet Mobile App for owner-operators. The free app -- available for iPhone(®) and Android((TM)) users -- will streamline workflow and reduce paperwork for drivers.

"We created this app to make business management more efficient for our owner-operators -- and to substantially reduce 'paperwork' requirements and the use of paper materials at Panther," said Louis Schneeberger, president of Panther Premium Logistics.

Features of the Panther Fleet Mobile App for smart phones include end-to-end shipment management and record keeping, along with driver-status update capabilities. Users can also send documents using smartphone cameras, evaluate board positions and neighboring boards, and audit status histories on recently run shipments.

"All of this is designed to ease administrative effort for our drivers," Schneeberger said. "We want them to spend less time on paperwork and recordkeeping and more time serving Panther's customers. We want our independent contractors to know that we're dedicated to helping their businesses succeed."

The Panther Fleet Mobile App is available for download on the Google Play((TM) )store app and the iTunes(®) App Store.
