almost "addictive" about this expediting business? In less than 2 weeks, I will be rejoining all my expediting friends, (and other truckers), on the road in a D Unit. For me, it's been almost 5 years since my 2 year expediting career. The funny thing is, that even though I've been totally removed from Expediting the entire time, I always found myself logging on to EO and looking longingly at expedite units. (My life must be sad..lol). Yes, I know this business, like every other, has its ups and downs, (and isn't always like those trucking school tv ads where the couple is neat and clean, sipping coffee, in great weather, against the background of the Rockies.... They never show them broken down at a truckstop in Gary), but I missed the freedom, the independence, the potential, and probably mostly the CAMARADARIE of this small relatively unknown group of transporters. It's the reason why people with legit questions will have them happily answered answered here by the nicest, most knowledgeable people in expediting, and why when you have a problem on the road, another Expediter, (even contracted to another company) will usually stop and help. Thanks to the Roberts Express couple in the early 90s that answered all my stupid questions when I was fascinated by the straight truck with the huge sleeper I saw them in. Have a great weekend and I'll see y'all on the road again shortly!
