After being upset about what a very few people had said and then talking with many different people in the business. Who cares what some people likes or dislikes with the Expediters Hall of Fame. I can't make everyone happy. As Turtle and Greg pointed out "who cares what they think". You started this because this is your project. Yes the website we now have will stop after the Expedite Expo to roll out a new web site that will be nicer, faster, and look great. My goal is this, and I really don't care who don't like it.
The Expediters Hall of Fame will honor the people that have helped CHANGE the business of Expediting over the years. As Greg said " its your Hall of Fame Dave". But I don't see it that way. It was started because GEO put it out on Expediters Online in a post many years ago. I just took his lead and started it up. I love history and I want people to understand how expediting and trucking has came along over the years.
Expediting has grow into a billion dollar year operation with everyone doing it. FedEx Custom Critical, Tri-state and Panther alone does over $500,000,000.00 a year in expedite business. Things have changed so much over the years. Drivers no longer have to stop every four hours to call into there carrier from a payphone and report where they are. Most people don't remember how you got paid 62% going away from your house and 46% going towards home. Thats why drivers would do a load and just deadhead back home. They made more money leaving the house.
Jeff Jensen will be the 1st of many great people that will go into the Expediter Hall of Fame. How many people loved to read Jeff's writings? I know I did. Come and honor a man at this years Expedite Expo for what he did for us. The Drivers, and the Owner Operators in the expedite business.
