This posting is a whole hearted apology from myself, Mark (Weave) Palmer to Expediters Online members A-Team and Freespirit. It looks as though I have been very harsh and judgmental toward these two members since they joined the EO community, and having now met them and knowing them better personally, I now realize how wrong I was in doing so. I assure everyone they are who they portray themselves to be. Their backgrounds are much different than anyone I have ever met who has wished to enter the expedited trucking field, and that led me to make some remarks and perform some actions that I deeply regret.
A-Team and Freespirit have every right to enter this business as newcomers, and the rights to make comments and suggestions about trucking related subjects on the open forums, even without field experience yet. They do not need or deserve people such as myself attempting to control the forums and not allow them to do so.
I hope these members will continue posting messages on the Expediters Online forums as they enter this field. They have done very thorough research before entering it, and have shared that research with others on the forums. That in itself is something that that is worthy of the utmost credit. Now as they continue on and hopefully share their highway experiences with Expediters Online, they will continue to be members in the highest standing.
Again, I would like to thank members A-Taem and Freespirit, and I wish them the best of success as new expediters.
Sincerely,
Mark (Weave) Palmer
