I posted this on the General Expediters branch, but would like to hear the input from recruiting side. I know that none of us has the proverbial crystal ball, but I do think we see trends on the horizon, even if we don´t recognize them. I´m taking time off, and when and if I come back out on the road in 2005, is still up for grabs. I´ll be coming back in as a single driver, and wanted to look into some other avenues of trucking/expediting. I read that flatbed expediting is starting to move, but is still labeled a hotshot operation. Also read that one of the larger expediting outfits is moving into trade shows, which I hauled for many years. I´d also like to hear from some of you single tractor trailer expediters. In expediting, I always ran a "D" unit. I don´t think a van or "C" unit is for me. It will be back to a "D" or TT, unless somebody can convince me otherwise. So, enlighten me with your thoughts, and reasons, and hope you all have a happy new year!!
