I see quite a bit of interest in LS in recent posts. I am not currently nor have I ever been an expediter. I have been a small business owner since 1995 in a non trucking business and have more recently been an employee driving a large straight for the past year+. I took that job after it...

After months of studying EO and other trucking forums, I decided to pursue becoming an expediter as a career change. I obtained my CDL-B, HAZMAT, Tanker and Passenger endorsements and applied to FECC getting pre-qualified and more recently used the universal application here on EO to apply to...
