After months of planning it is becoming a reality

Semperfi3069 · Feb 8, 2012

After the Expo 2011 my wife Heather and I had decided the life of Expediting was for us. Thanks to the close group and support of our Expediter friends, support from family, months of planning and preparation, it looks like we will be on the road in about 4 weeks. We are very excited about this new career, life style and opportunity. We look forward to meeting many more of you out there on the road. Be safe.

Best of luck to you and your wife. You will enjoy it out here. What will you be driving? You driving for a fleet owner or did you buy a truck or van? Which company did you guys decide to go with.

Load One #188

Have fun. 3069, was that your platoon number at boot camp?

Mine was I think either 3066 or 2066 at PI.

The more I think about it, I think mine was 3066. I can still remember my service #. That was before they converted to ss#.

Welcome and cannot wait to hear about your first load!

I know there will be a few surprises, but you guys have sure done your home work and due diligence.

The Expo was a great help and I would advise anyone getting into the business to go and learn. Thank you for your kind words.
