    Imagine that. I was really looking forward to talking to them,seeing what they had to offer. Years ago I used to haul their overflow freight (Towne Airfreight)from Cleveland to JFK 3 times a week. They were a pleasure to work for back then.

    I used to haul their overflow freight also, here in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I currently pickup and drop off deliveries to them occasionally. Also, Bax Global just moved from there Warsaw, In location to the Towne Air Freight building in Fort Wayne.
    Did you know that all Towne Air Freight drivers or Owner Operators now? Late last year to early this year they switch over from company drivers to Independent contractors

    Guess at the expo you have to hit ever nook and cranny of the floor LOL

    Z-CoiL Pain Relief Footwear This is the link to the shoes Bob wears. These shoes have really helped with his back, hips and knees and now he can stand for hours and talk with no pain.

    At this Expo we met more forum members then we ever have with Piper1 and I believe Moose having the best idea of the show. When they filled out their information for the their badges when they were asked company name they put their screen name! It was really great.

    We have been to six Expo's and this show for us was the best in many ways. We had a lot of new experiences and they were all great. We cannot wait till next year as I am sure it will even be better then this years.

    I think all the E0 Members should do this next year. I'd personally rather see the persons screen name then the company they work for. I love the idea of the ID tags also

    Forget the name badges. Clearly, OVM's pants were the hit of the show. If he will tell us where he got them, there is plenty of time to order them in bulk, a pair in the right size for every Open Forum member, male and female alike.

    Imagine the impression we all would make when non-forum members arrive and see 20 or 30 of us sporting the latest in expedite chic!

    You know I was trying pretty hard to not acknowledge OVM fashion statement! He was a sight to behold.

    Re: the seven people you meet at expo

    Why do I forsee all the recruiters at the show quickly herding all of us out of sight of the new folks!!

    I think it was Lawrence that suggested to me that maybe next year a different color badge might be somehow do-able.

    Either way I still want a pair of those shorts!

    Wow OVM I shudder to think what treat we will be in for next year... Another reason everyone needs to mark the date of the next Expo...

    Re: the seven people you meet at expo

    This was my first expo and I had an amazing time. I sure enjoyed meeting & talking with every one of you. I "look up" to all of you in more ways than one. BTW Lawrence, I gotta say that I especially enjoyed the look on your face when Linda introduced me to you. Priceless!!!
