Redytrk, You're probably thinking of Clayton King from Freedom Express in Tennessee. He made an appearance at one of the first Expo's. The last I heard, Clayton had come in off the road and was working in the office of his mother's fleet operation. My info could be wrong, I need to update...

Thanks for the kind words about the show! It was good to finally meet Leo Bricker, Tom and Tina Evans, the Hopkins brothers, Jeff Young and Lucy Perillo. Hopefully, I haven't forgotten any others I met, but advancing years are playing tricks with the memory banks. It was great to see all of...

You've got some sharp eyes there Redytrk! Actually, it reads correctly. Gene has a 122 foot cargo box on his straight truck. He has never had to turn down an oversize load, but he admits that it's a little tough to maneuver on city streets. It wasn't mentioned in the article, but Gene has a...

Hello, I am gathering info for a potential article about how expediters fill their spiritual needs while on the road. For example, do you find a local church in which to worship, do you take advantage of the truck stop ministries, read the Bible, etc.? This is not meant to be a forum topic...

I interviewed this interesting couple last week and it turns out they have been regular lurkers on the forums for some time. Look for a profile on Andy and Kay, hopefully next week. Jeff Jensen

I had a few hobbies on the road: reading, playing a little electronic chess game (it usually won), watching TV, complaining about my carrier, visiting museums and a few other past times. Towards the end of my time in expediting, I re-discovered a childhood passion through the Internet - racing...

2millionplus, I don't know if anyone has extended a welcome to the boards yet, so let me do that now. Welcome! It's always great to have carrier representatives here to get a different perspective. Jeff Jensen

Ricky, So far, the material used by the speakers in the Workshops have been their own presentations, written by them. You have an interesting idea though, and I'm sure Lawrence and Micki McIntyre, our Business Development Director, will give this one some thought. Jeff

It's been over five years since Rich Moore joined the ranks of the EO Forum Moderators and it's time to wish him a Happy Anniversary! After overseeing tens of thousand of posts on our forums and contributing hundreds of helpful posts himself, we have to say Thank You! to this veteran expediter...

Old Prof, Here's the link to an article we did a couple of years ago on this topic, hope it helps! http://www.expeditersonline.com/cgi-bin/artman/exec/view.cgi/1/110 Jeff

I posed your question to Jeff Garra, Landstar Express America recruiter. He says,(and I'm paraphrasing) "While we still have the 6-month experience requirement, we're taking the long view and presenting information about expediting in general at the Workshops about expediting. It's not a...
