the seven people you meet at expo

[ATeam]

At this Expo we met more forum members then we ever have with Piper1 and I believe Moose having the best idea of the show. When they filled out their information for the their badges when they were asked company name they put their screen name! It was really great.

Forget the name badges. Clearly, OVM's pants were the hit of the show. If he will tell us where he got them, there is plenty of time to order them in bulk, a pair in the right size for every Open Forum member, male and female alike.

Imagine the impression we all would make when non-forum members arrive and see 20 or 30 of us sporting the latest in expedite chic!

 

[TeamCaffee]

You know I was trying pretty hard to not acknowledge OVM fashion statement! He was a sight to behold.

 

[piper1]

Why do I forsee all the recruiters at the show quickly herding all of us out of sight of the new folks!!

I think it was Lawrence that suggested to me that maybe next year a different color badge might be somehow do-able.

Either way I still want a pair of those shorts!

[pelicn]

YIKES

 

[TeamCaffee]

Wow OVM I shudder to think what treat we will be in for next year... Another reason everyone needs to mark the date of the next Expo...

 

[OntarioVanMan]

The Expo is for good times...with good people and have good memories.... Lawrence did his part and me my part!

 

[Wingnut]

This was my first expo and I had an amazing time. I sure enjoyed meeting & talking with every one of you. I "look up" to all of you in more ways than one. BTW Lawrence, I gotta say that I especially enjoyed the look on your face when Linda introduced me to you. Priceless!!!

What about red pleather pants

 

[guido4475]

I'm not even going to touch that one, but they would match my fine italian leather undies...lol.

I met way more folks than I can remember names but usually do pretty well at remembering faces provided there aren't major changes like growing/shaving beards etc. in between seeing them. It was a great time and I'm glad to have met as many folks as I did to know who they are. I'm not sure a single one looked like they were "supposed" to and I'm sure I didn't either. I can't wait for the next expo and really think it should be a semi-annual event.

Jack Berry I was parked next to your blue van ,Never did meet you. Figured you would see my Wi. Lic plates.Oh well maybe I will see you around Kenosha or Racine.

 

[guido4475]

I used to haul their overflow freight also, here in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I currently pickup and drop off deliveries to them occasionally. Also, Bax Global just moved from there Warsaw, In location to the Towne Air Freight building in Fort Wayne.
Did you know that all Towne Air Freight drivers or Owner Operators now? Late last year to early this year they switch over from company drivers to Independent contractors

Guess at the expo you have to hit ever nook and cranny of the floor LOL

These changes sound like it will be to our advantage in many ways.Thanks for the info !
