All I can say is wow, don't have any suggestion to offer since I have had any experience with panning.
I like #4 the best.

looks good to me. # 3 seems a bit dark. Focus looks good to me except the truck and even the I think it is good. Not sure what your F stop was, that could be it if you were wide open. Maybe the trailer happened to hit a bump at the right moment. You are surely on the right track. I think these shots in general require a lot of elements to come together perfectly to get it right and all in all I would say your results are excellent.

Thanks AfricanGray and IPT
What I find funny for the truck is that only the logo is in focus, an sleeman is a beer brewery lol
It's true that I was at a "wide" aperture. F3.5 because I thought we need a good bokeh to make it blurry. I will do more test for sure but I would like to have some pointers. Maybe I'm not in the right forum for this tho lol

the wider aperature may help the blurr but it is really the longer shutter speed that blurs the background. The trick of course is using a shutter speed longer enough to blur but short enough to keep with the subject and render it sharp. The fast the car (or longer the focal length) the more the background will be moving quickly the more it will blur.

Thank IPT 
I think my problem is a combo of all of those. I was at around 1/20 for all these shot and with what I read, this is to slow. I should be around 1/100 to 1/200. They didn't talk about the aperture so I will have to do more test and also my focal lenght was 50mm so maybe to short. I'm on a crop body so at least I have an equivalent around 80mm. I have a longer focal lenght but I really HATE it. It's an old sigma 75-300 really slow, push and pull lol I bought it to test this focal lenght but now that I know I like it, I have to save for a 80-200
I would do some test soon and maybe update this thread if someone is interested
