    Expo Workshop - Focus on Learning

    Great fun at the Expo and a chance to meet your fellow posters. We all enjoy running into each other out on the road and with this workshop we will get to meet each other face to face all in one place.

    July 25th 11:00 am - Networking & Roundtable Discussion with forum members

    Networking - the key to learning the easy way instead of the school of hard knocks.

    Each of us out here have tips that will help our fellow expediters and this workshop will be a great place to share and ask questions.

    A few of the ideas I have heard to discuss are:

    What kind of load equipment do you carry?
    Tips for storage ideas
    Routine maintenance plans
    Fuel Saving ideas
    Just exactly where are the dispatchers located?
    Staying healthy on the road
    Tips to getting sleep while your partner is driving
    Traveling with a pet

    Here is to seeing everyone there and getting to actually see what someone has done to their truck or van to make life easier for them.

    When I go golfing it's usually a young hottie driving the beer cart. But, if he's got beer, it's all good.

    we are going to be there to give linda a helping hand, hopefully some of our other experienced EO members will show up also. this will be a chance to help prepare newcomers and people just starting in the business. with any luck we can prevent some mishaps or maybe even some wrong decisions about the business, or if in this economy certain people should even consider expediting. all in all, look at it this way, we may not be able to help monitarily but we can help informitivley which in the long run may turn into saving some livelyhoods. see ya all at the EXPO

    Thanks for the invitation - I'm seriously thinking about going. Also wanted to thank you all for the great advice and comments from everyone on EO. I have been lurking for about a month now and finally decided to join up. You are a very colorful group!
