The Expedite Expo 2007
May 29, 2007
Expedite Expo is all about the emergency freight segment of transportation - Expedited Trucking. It's one of the fastest growing areas of the freight transportation industry, and it has provided business ownership opportunities to thousands of people from many different backgrounds.

Lawrence McCord, General Manager of ExpeditersOnline.com, the producers of Expedite Expo 2006 says, “Expedited trucking is populated with owner-operators - men and women looking for freedom from the 9-5, freedom from a boss looking over their shoulder, freedom to travel the U.S. and Canada, and freedom for committed couples to work together for their future."

He continues, "At the Expo, we'll have expedited recruiters, expedited truck dealers and vendors along with seminars and workshops about the business. And, admission and parking are free!"

What Determines a Good Run?
May 29, 2007
One of the first things that an expedited owner-operator or driver should learn is load selection or what determines a good run. Along with the many other roles the professional driver must fill, his role of accountant/bookkeeper is essential in maintaining his business.

And part of that is developing the ability to assess a run offer using a number of qualifying factors.

Know Your Brake System
May 21, 2007
If your driving history goes back to the days when you were advised to "pump your brakes" in an emergency stop on slick pavement, then the first time you used a vehicle equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS), it probably came as a shock to discover the brakes seemingly had a mind of their own.

It required a bit of adjustment on your part to simply apply steady pressure to the pedal and let the system do its thing.

As you probably know, ABS is now required on all on-road vehicles with air brakes and all hydraulic-braked trucks over 10,000 pounds

A New Technology: Tracker GPS
May 15, 2007

Newly imposed rules and regulations have increased the administrative workload of companies and owner-operators.

The good news is that proven, sound, proactive asset tracking is now easy to implement using CP Handheld Technologies.

The Roadside Inspection
Apr 30, 2007
Roadside inspections are part of life for professional drivers. The main purpose of roadside inspections is to give the commercial motor vehicle and its driver an on-the-spot safety check.

If you've never undergone a D.O.T. inspection, relax. It's not the end of the world.

If you know your truck and you're sure it's ready for inspection, it will make the stop little more than a slight delay.

Anti-Idling Technology Facts
Apr 6, 2007
"Auxiliary power units and gen sets can help drivers comply with local idling ordinances, reduce emissions and noise, and save on the cost of truck fuel and maintenance."

Lawrence goes on to say that because most auxiliary power units are integrated directly into the truck's systems, they offer a high level of convenience. In addition, APUs are a proven technology that is widely available and is even sold as an option on some new trucks.

Dedicated Expedited Loads - Do They Really Exist?
Apr 2, 2007
For many expediters, the dedicated run would seem to be the pinnacle of the expedited freight business; he won't be awakened at 3:00 am to take a "hot" 50-mile run, he won't sit for days on end waiting for a run that never appears and he won't have to miss events back home because he's on a lucrative 1,000-mile run that's (usually) going in the wrong direction.

Yes, the stability of the dedicated run is very attractive, but just how common are those shipments?

Mar 30, 2007
"The Expediter Experience gives us a chance to meet all kinds of people, prospective expediters and veterans alike.

We get to meet a lot of different people from the general trucking world as well, including entire families."

"For many trucking families, MATS is one of the high points of the year - they build an entire vacation around the show." - Micki Mintyre
