“Over the past couple of years, we have worked to make our IN-SITE Webinar Series a strong platform for discussing the latest trends within the trucking industry as well as the place where our ES Team and our ES Community members can highlight the innovative solutions that we are bringing to the market,” said Jason Williams, the Co-Founder & CEO of Expediter Services. “We have really enjoyed working with Panther Premium Logistics during the past year to collaborate on the development of a non-traditional lease-purchase program that has helped Panther grow its non-asset capacity while also providing great opportunities for professional drivers to start their own small trucking business or to grow an existing small fleet.

“It’s been exciting to see the momentum being built by this program, and our team at ES is thrilled to continue to work with the Panther team in our collaborative efforts to expand and grow opportunities for truck ownership and small business formation within the trucking industry,” Williams added. “Our November 15th IN-SITE webinar will actually serve as the start of a miniseries of webinar events that will explore the various aspects of this program with Panther. Through this series and our other IN-SITE presentations, we firmly believe that you will see that we have a strong and supportive community that is focused on helping people achieve success in trucking.”

The panel for this edition of the IN-SITE 2022 Webinar Series will feature two of the key people overseeing the recruiting process at Panther Premium Logistics. Frank Tufano, the company’s Director of Owner-Operator Recruiting, and Cory Robertson, Driver Recruiting Manager, will be sharing perspective on the state of the industry and opportunities with Panther.

ES will also have two members of the company’s management team as part of the webinar’s expert panel. David Withers, Senior Director of Operations & Recruiting for ES, and Danny Vernon, the Director of Truck Sales & Finance at ES, will be part of the conversation during this webinar. In addition to discussing the strong working relationship between ES and Panther as well as how this non-traditional lease-to-own program has performed and grown during the past year, the panelists will also explore other topics, including the current conditions for purchasing trucks and starting a trucking business in today’s market.

This edition of the IN-SITE 2022 Webinar Series will be moderated by Leah Shaver, the President and CEO of the National Transportation Institute (NTI).

Expediter Services Unveils Comprehensive Update To The Company’s ESsuccessintrucking.com Website

September 1, 2022

ESsuccessintrucking.com has been designed to provide trucking professionals with a website that is easy to navigate and serves information in a concise fashion that is well presented on mobile devices, tablets and laptops. The website update includes call-out sections for people who are new to the trucking industry and to trucking professionals looking to start or expand a small business.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. September 1, 2022 Expediter Services (ES), a leader in capacity solutions and ownership opportunities within the trucking industry, is pleased to announce the company has released a comprehensive update to its website, ESsuccessintrucking.com. The company’s new online platform features a fresh look that is reflective of the steady growth by ES throughout its 16-year history. The website also speaks directly to the continued expansion of service offerings that are tailored to help independent contract drivers, owner-operators, fleet owners and trucking entrepreneurs build and grow their respective trucking businesses.

Through the updates to ESsuccessintrucking.com, ES worked with its web design team to provide trucking professionals with a website that is easy to navigate and serves information in a concise fashion that is well presented on mobile devices, tablets and laptops. The front page of ESsuccessintrucking.com establishes the approach the company has taken with its new website by presenting the variety of offerings from ES and inviting website visitors to click and learn more.

In addition to presenting call-out sections for people who are new to the industry, to those trucking professionals looking to start their own small business or current owner-operators or fleet owners seeking to expand their current businesses, ESsuccessintrucking.com details the broad range of trucking support services offered through the company to program participants and members of the ES Community. Those trucking support services include truck financing, insurance solutions, legal services, operational support and an ongoing safety education along with a comprehensive discount and support program designed specifically for owner-operators, independent contract drivers and fleet owners to assist these trucking professionals in driving savings to the bottom line of their respective businesses.

“When we began our effort to make a comprehensive update to ESsuccessintrucking.com, we believed it was not only important to detail to the trucking industry and to the general marketplace who we are and what ES does as a company, but we also wanted to highlight the fact that ES has established a proven model that provides opportunities and services that can support contract drivers, owner-operators and fleet owners across the industry,” said ES CEO and Co-Founder Jason Williams.

The Community of Success section on the home page of ESsuccessintrucking.com provides a quick look at the results that have been delivered through the programs and services offered through ES. The professional drivers utilizing the comprehensive offerings available within the ES Community now stands at more than 15,000. ES, serving as a small business generator, has helped more than 1,000 professional drivers to launch a trucking business. Looking at the savings available through what ES has in place, the total savings realized by the members of the ES Community currently stands at $100 million per year.

“As we look at ESsuccessintrucking.com today, it speaks to how we have grown and expanded to meet a number of real needs in the trucking industry,” said Williams. “ESsuccessintrucking.com also shows how we have evolved as a company. When we started in 2006, we cut our teeth in the expediting sector of the trucking industry, which gave us a safe place to develop our model with some great carrier partners. Over the past few years, we’ve been able to build relationships that allowed us to move into opportunities within the truckload and less-than-truckload sectors of the industry. We believe that ESsuccessintrucking.com has our company well positioned to meet the needs of all the trucking professionals we currently serve, and we believe it will also help open the doors to future opportunities for our company.”
