What happens when trucking consumes our lives.
When we first started expediting in 2005 we immersed ourselves in our new profession and we learned all that we could. As we pulled into a truck stop or to a customer we scanned the area looking for expediters. If an expediter was there we approached them and asked if they had time to answer questions, we asked:
How long have you been expediting?
How do you secure your freight?
How did you learn to sleep on the road?
If a FedEx driver in a dry box:
Which areas are good for freight?
Do have tips for someone starting out?
This is just a sample of the questions asked and if they were agreeable we offered to buy them a tea or coffee so we could pick their brains. We learned many tips this way and we put it all to good use and we have shared that knowledge over the years through blogs and posts on different trucking sites. We have met many fascinating people over the years and still thank them for sharing their knowledge.
