Tremendous Turnout, New Opportunities Highlight 2012 Expedite Expo

The annual event of the expedited trucking industry far surpassed the expectations of producer On Time Media LLC, showing representatives from 43 states and Canada. Truck manufacturers and dealers were able to showcase trucks to potential customers, trucking carriers were able to recruit  new  drivers and owner operators and families were gifted with an all-around excellent two-day festival of fun, entertainment and education.  As the Expedite Expo closed for the year, many were left in eager anticipation of next year’s exposition, the pinnacle event for expedited truckers and the entire industry.

Wilmington, OH (PRWeb), August 3, 2012 – When the doors opened to Expedite Expo 2012, booths filled with major corporate representatives lined the Roberts Convention Centre. Surprisingly, however, attendees filled the two-day event to the tune of 4,398 from 43 states and Canada.  Rendering new opportunities for driver and owner operator positions, formation of new relationships and excitement for the entire family, we share testimonials and action below:

EsparParts.com, producers of interior truck heating which allows operators to shut down trucks and still receive in-cabin heating, was on hand to demonstrate their Espar product lines.  In their drawing, Susie Morse of Molly’s Express was announced winner of the Espar Airtronic D2, the revolutionary new bunk heater just released.  In other contest news, winners of the $1,000 CIS cash giveaways were Pat Trent and Denise Dew.

Every year, the crowning achievement drivers look forward to receiving is the Drivers' Choice Award for having the best truck in show.  Donned 2012 champs were Tom and Tina Evans representing Load One, Unit #3060.  Expedite Expo tips their hat to this hard working team for their excellent achievement. Once the doors closed for the 2012 Expo year, testimonials of new opportunities and turnout success were flowing from excited company owners and representatives hoping for this large audience turnout.
