It's a Team's Life
Vendors Vendors Vendors
It would be easy to write a pretty good sized pamphlet describing all the vendors so I am going to shorten my thoughts to a few of my favorites!
The first booth that I would recommend is the Trucker Buddy International booth. We have been Trucker Buddies for a few years and this has been one of the most rewarding things we have participated in. We would be more then happy to share with you are experiences with our classes and the program. Stop by the booth to pick up an application and learn more.
Another booth to spend time visiting is Espar Parts to talk about the Espar heater. Once again Ray Lawrence will be giving away and Espar Heater to a registered forum member. If you have not joined the forums now is the time to do so! I was lucky enough to win the Espar Heater three years ago. Stop by the truck and we can talk with you about our Espar Heater.
Take time to see the TA/Petro booth and visit with these fine folks! Once again TA/Petro will be a co-sponsor of the PJ walk that will be held both mornings of the Expo. We usually purchase over $50,000 dollars in fuel a year and most of this is through TA/Petro. We spend a lot of time at these truck stops and they are our full service truck stop of choice. Located in the booth there will be a representative of the Saint Christopher's Fund. The St. Christopher's fund is an organization to help drivers who experience a life-changing event and need a helping hand.
CIS - Progressive Insurance is another booth to stop by. We have used this insurance for several years. The CIS office is always helpful and after having our incident a few years ago we were and are still very thankful that we have Progressive Insurance. CIS having our back takes one less stress away from us while we are on the road. CIS is also the sponsor if Casino Night and this is something you do not want to miss. Stop by and tell Shelly and John thank you for all they do.
If you are considering getting into Expediting stop by all of the recruiter booths and start comparing notes. Figure out which company fits your list of what is important e.g., home time, area of the country you want to run, types of loads you want to haul, etc.
Stop by all of the truck sales booths and see what trucks are available, what sleepers are available, and what you like or dislike about each truck. Talk to the salesmen and they can become one of the people in your corner if you purchase a truck from them.
Visit the smaller booths to see what type of load securement devices are available, what organizations you can belong to that will help you while out on the road to stay connected, and this list is huge of vendors to talk with.
Expedite Expo is almost here! Looking forward to seeing you there.
