For those of us who keep up with the latest trucking industry trends, the current driver’s shortage in the U.S. is familiar news. When you combine this shortage with the recent rise in demand for freight, you have a recipe for volatility — and opportunity. So when David Neese, Expediter Services Recruiter was asked to accompany representatives from FEDEX Custom Critical to address a newly formed class of driving students at Craven Community College in Bern, North Carolina to discuss these opportunities, he jumped at the chance!

In November of 1992, Gary King, a professional truck driver contacted a grade school in Williams Bay, Wisconsin and asked the principle if he could write to a class of students as a “pen pal”. A fourth grade teacher quickly agreed, and Trucker Buddy International was born. From this humble beginning, Trucker Buddy has grown into a respected nor-for-profit educational organization with a world-wide reach.

A few weeks ago Spotlight News reported on Kenneth & Virginia Babcock and James Tucker & Elizabeth Johnson, two independent contractor teams who were awarded the coveted FedEx Four Star Award for Excellence. Since that story ran, both teams have since attended the weeklong celebration at Amelia Island, Florida and are now basking in the accolades and afterglow of a four star luxury vacation.

Expediter Services is excited to introduce a NEW rewards program negotiated with Love’s to provide Owners and Contractors the absolutely cheapest fuel prices in the industry; along with some extra benefits to help make life on the road more comfortable.
