EO University Workshop Expo Workshop - Focus on Learning

TeamCaffee · Jun 24, 2009

Great fun at the Expo and a chance to meet your fellow posters. We all enjoy running into each other out on the road and with this workshop we will get to meet each other face to face all in one place.

July 25th 11:00 am - Networking & Roundtable Discussion with forum members

Networking - the key to learning the easy way instead of the school of hard knocks.

Each of us out here have tips that will help our fellow expediters and this workshop will be a great place to share and ask questions.

A few of the ideas I have heard to discuss are:

What kind of load equipment do you carry?
Tips for storage ideas
Routine maintenance plans
Fuel Saving ideas
Just exactly where are the dispatchers located?
Staying healthy on the road
Tips to getting sleep while your partner is driving
Traveling with a pet

Here is to seeing everyone there and getting to actually see what someone has done to their truck or van to make life easier for them.

Looks one of those intense executive boot camp training events with an emphasis on team building and problem solving.

Who's got the A-1 sauce?
Who was responsible for bringing it?
Who's going to make a grocery run and at what speed?
And lets do a cost analysis of the procedure....

When I go golfing it's usually a young hottie driving the beer cart. But, if he's got beer, it's all good.

You never know what Lawrence has in his cart or where he is zipping off to you only know he will be driving fast!

we are going to be there to give linda a helping hand, hopefully some of our other experienced EO members will show up also. this will be a chance to help prepare newcomers and people just starting in the business. with any luck we can prevent some mishaps or maybe even some wrong decisions about the business, or if in this economy certain people should even consider expediting. all in all, look at it this way, we may not be able to help monitarily but we can help informitivley which in the long run may turn into saving some livelyhoods. see ya all at the EXPO

You meant that in a GOOD way, right?

If you can possibly attend, you won't regret it!

Don't count on that....

TeamCaffee · Jul 6, 2009

Cheri and OVM I sure hope to heck we see both of you there. It will add to the "color" of the atmosphere!

You have to admit there is a wide range of personalities on the forums and somehow we all keep trying to get along for the most part.

Linda,

I'm working on being there. I finally registered, so I won't have to stand in line when I arrive. My priority is on the 1100 Saturday workshop. Will we need reservations for your show?

Ditto - I missed it last year [sigh]. Love the time with old friends, and meeting new ones.

Dynamite 1 · Jul 10, 2009

no, reservations will not be required. everyone is invited, the more the merrier. should be an interesting meeting with lots of knowlegable EO members
