You Might Be An Expediter If...
1. You have a reserved parking spot at the Detroiter.
2. They know you on a first name basis at the Ohio state turnpike Toll Booth
3. When the French fries machine in the Burger King beeps, you run to your truck.
4. You've been asked more than a 50 times on the CB, "Hey, expediter truck! Y'all make any money in them little trucks?"
5. You own more than three deep-cycle marine batteries.
6. You have spent at least 1 Thanksgiving at Canadian Customs.
7. You can remember your dispatch phone number but not your own.
8. You've spent so much time in Canada that you end every sentence with, "Eh?"
9. You can spot a satellite dome in the oncoming traffic from a half-mile away.
10. You now have a permanent limp from the weight of three nationwide pagers, a QC pager and two cell phones.
I found these in an article in the archives here on EO and got a laugh , So I thought others may also get a laugh and may have some of their own they may want to add.
I really didn't know which forum to place this thread in. I put it in this forum because 1, it does have to do with expediting in it's own humorous kind of way. 2, even though it has humor it does teach the new drivers. These really are things that will happen to them as an expediter. [font color="darkred" size="1"]Now you know, If you can't get home on turkey day because you are stuck at the border it isn't dispatches fault. You can always go to Captain Canuck's for DIN DIN!!! I don't think JuJu will mind!!![/font]
