    Great 2002 EXPO

    Thank you for coming to the Expo! All the work was worth it - many of us can recall the days when Expediters were hardly considered "professional drivers", so it was great for our industry to get the recognition it deserves. It was incredible to see over 72 exhibitors come together under one...

    CDL Requirement

    I agree - it is because of Haz-Mat issues. There are a few expedite carriers who do not haul Haz-Mat and do not require CDL's. Thanks, Lawrence Expediters Online.com

    Chevy Express Van

    HacPro, Welcome to EO! Sorry to hear of your truck troubles. I think what you may have is a transmission problem, specifically a torque converter issue. They tend to vibrate at certain speeds. Is it getting worse over time? Lawrence Expediters Online.com

    No Expediter is an Island

    Kids on trips

    Hi Steph, Welcome to EO! I don't know of any Carrier that would allow anyone under 21 in the vehicle while on a load. You can buy passenger insurance but I think they have a 21 year old clause as well. Thanks, Lawrence Expediters Online.com

    Expediting Company Recruiters?
