Express-1 rolls out new programs
Express-1 Expedited Solutions of Buchanan, MI has announced its new Tractor Rate Program for Team Semi’s.
The company says due to increased business opportunities provided by Express-1’s Border Expedite Solutions Team (BEST), it has generated a tremendous opportunity for tractor teams to earn consistent revenue on all dispatched miles whether empty or loaded along with its fuel surcharge for loaded miles.
Express-1 Recruiting Manager Dwayne Ridgway says, "Express-1 trucks have great freight opportunities all across the country and our drivers are not limited to just running north to south and east to west. We have developed a huge customer base that continues to grow as Express-1 grows."
Ridgway also says his company is ready to roll out its Veteran Truck Driver Apprenticeship Program beginning August 1.
If a U.S. Armed Forces veteran wants to obtain his/her CDL, GI Bill benefits are available to help the veteran begin a career in expedited trucking.
The Express-1 recruiting staff in booth A-7 at the Expedite Expo (July 25-26) will have the details on these programs and others.
