    Truly bizarre comments. As I stated before I did spend a bit of time reading previous posts on EO and it does seem the regular posters are spending to much of their efforts trying to be funny. Maybe I expected.... More.

    Truly I'm sorry if I implied higher pay in the form you describe. I was inclined to think that better trip and route planning through GPS training would lead to more of your hard earned money staying in your pocket. Again, my apology for not being more specific.

    Pretty much, However a brain trained to use it maybe a better choice. Imagine you hire a driver to drive your truck that has been gps trained. Would you prefer he tell you he has received training or that using a gps is a no brainer?

    Simple question, maybe.

    :)Thanks so much to each of you for responding to the question – “WHAT is the hardest job duty an expediter has to do day after day as an expediter?” Obviously waiting is a stressful aspect of expediting for many of you. My initial thoughts as how answers would run did not include the majority...

    Simple question, maybe.

    Hi... first post.. A simple question I have, but likely a difficult answer will be the result. WHAT is the hardest job duty an expediter has to do day after day as an expediter? I would also like to know how the newbie and want to be expediters would answer the same question. :rolleyes:
