Once again, the Knoxville Expedite Workshop had at least one success story. A middle aged professional man with a desire to change his direction in life has been lurking on the Forum while considering expediting as a possibility. He came to the EO Workshop to listen to the speakers, and talk to the recruiters about getting a D truck and driving as a solo operator while his wife took care of the last child at home.
Prior to the start of the seminar portion of the workshop, the man cornered Davekc and me and asked us a series of questions about the viability of his thoughts of solo operation in a D truck. We answered his questions and referred him to the recruiters. Shortly before the first speaker, the man cam up to Dave and me, thanked us for the information and bid us farewell. He said that after talking to Dave, me and the recruiters, he had decided that expediting, the way he was considering, wasn't suited to his financial, or lifestyle requirements. The man's parting comments indicated that the workshop had been a success for him because he learned all that he needed for his decision.
Lawrence, Micki and their crew did a great job of organizing and producing another successful workshop where they brought together a room full of aspiring expediters where the speakers shared a bit of knowledge and experience. A room full of carrier recruiters, truck vendors and suppliers then had an opportunity to introduce the attendees to their products and services. Hopefully, the attendees will remember the workshop sponsors as they make the decisions necessary for a successful career in expediting.
