The way out of Panama to the west is the Panamerian Highway. It starts out at the Puente de las Americas, and then heads out. The best bet to start hitching on this large road is to go to the bus terminal in Panama city and catch a 80c an 80 cent bus to La Chorrera. The panamerican passes through this town and there you will fing find 3 petrol stations in a row on the right side of the road. Apparently the third is the one where the most trucks stop off (don't ask why...). It's easier to talk to drivers than to thumb it, but both do work.
