“During our IN-SITE 2021 Series, we have focused all our webinars around one of the strengths of our team at ES, and that is helping aspiring entrepreneurs to realize the dream of starting their own trucking businesses. We have also spent time during the four previous IN-SITE 2021 webinars discussing key issues that are impacting owner-operators, independent contract drivers and fleet owners,” said Jason Williams, President of ES. “As we move toward the final months of this year, we thought it would be valuable to look at the current trends as well as the challenges and opportunities that are on the horizon as we move into 2022.”
“Just as we have done with our past webinars, everyone who joins us will get a chance to learn more about ES and the support our ES Community members receive as they work to build and grow their small businesses,” added Williams. “With this webinar taking place so close to Halloween, we decided to give it the title, Start Your Own Trucking Business: All Treats & No Tricks. Along with having some fun with the seasonal theme, everyone who joins us for the webinar will be able to see that the programs and opportunities from ES are real. There are no tricks or surprises. We are focused on helping everyone who joins the ES Community to maximize their Success In Trucking.”

In this edition of Spotlight News, we will be sharing the latest on a nontraditional lease-to-own program that ES has developed in collaboration with Panther Premium Logistics, a Service of ArcBest. Through this program that was launched earlier this year, Panther and ES are able to offer professional drivers the opportunity to achieve true truck ownership with access to competitive market-rate financing while receiving the full support of two of the most respected organizations in the trucking industry.
The nontraditional lease-to-own program from ES and Panther is another example of the commitment that ES has made to ensure that professional drivers Never Stand Alone. This program provides an additional platform within the ES Community that will allow professional drivers to find success in trucking by becoming business owners. This program also brings to life another point the ES Team brings up during their discussions with professional drivers: “If You Can DRIVE The Truck, You Can OWN The Truck.”
To provide some perspective and offer an overview of the nontraditional lease-to-own program from ES and Panther, our video crew had the opportunity to spend some time at the Expedite Expo with Frank Tufano, the Director of Owner-Operator Recruiting for Panther. In addition to asking Frank about the nontraditional lease-to-own program and how Panther is working to utilize this opportunity within the company’s recruiting efforts, we talked to Frank about the relationship he has built with the team at ES.
The truck ownership opportunities and comprehensive programs offered by ES spent some time under one of radio’s brightest spotlights on September 13th when ES President Jason Williams was welcomed as a guest on the Dave Nemo Show on SiriusXM’s Road Dog Trucking Radio Channel 146.
Jason had the honor of being the first guest as Radio Nemo kicked off its special coverage of National Truck Driver Appreciation Week 2021 with a series of feature interviews. As one of the flagship programs on SiriusXM’s Road Dog Trucking Radio, the Dave Nemo Show is a must-listen for professional drivers. With over 50 years as an on-air radio host focused on trucking, Dave is a legend in both the radio and trucking industries.
Jason’s Driver Appreciation Week appearance on Radio Nemo marked the second time that he has been interviewed by Dave.As you can hear through the radio replay podcast featured within this edition of Spotlight, Dave asked Jason about the history of ES and why ES has chosen to place an intense focus on the needs of professional drivers who are aspiring entrepreneurs as well as owner-operators and fleet owners who are seeking to enhance and grow their trucking businesses.
It was clear that prior to the interview Dave had spent some time on the ES website, as he referenced a number of key points from ES programs, and Dave took a moment to highlight the ES company motto, Never Stand Alone! At one point in the interview, Nemo called the offerings from ES the ultimate business-to-business model.
The interview time on Radio Nemo during Driver Appreciation Week gave Jason the opportunity to share the high level of care and appreciation that Jason and the entire ES Team have for professional drivers and entrepreneurs working to build small businesses in trucking.
ES would like to thank Radio Nemo, SiriusXM and Road Dog Trucking Radio for allowing Spotlight News to share the replay of Jason’s interview on the Dave Nemo Showas a special edition of the Success In Trucking Podcast. For anyone who has a subscription to SiriusXM Radio or the SiriusXM app, the Dave Nemo Show can be heard each morning from 7 am to 11 am Eastern time on SiriusXM’s Road Dog Trucking Radio Channel 146.
How will you celebrate or make note of National Truck Driver Appreciation Week? This is one of the most commonly asked questions of companies working in trucking at this time of year. When anyone who is part of the ES Team gets a question about Driver Appreciation Week, the reply is immediate and it has remained consistent every year since Expediter Services was founded in 2006.
The answer to the question is simple and direct. At ES, driver appreciation happens 24/7/365. Those aren’t just words. The programs and support systems that ES has established for the independent contract drivers, owner operators and small fleet owners who are a critical part of the ES Community represent the deep commitment that ES makes each day to professional drivers and to the trucking industry.

National Truck Driver Appreciation Week is an important time for our industry. September 12-18 this year will once again give us the opportunity to reflect upon the essential role that America’s professional drivers hold in keeping the country’s economy moving. Driver Appreciation Week should also serve as a call to action for everyone involved in supporting the work of the men and women behind the wheel.
For professional drivers, Sept. 12-18 can serve as a time to reflect as well. During this Driver Appreciation Week, ES would like to invite you to consider the following questions:
Do you feel appreciated and are you satisfied with where you are today?
What are your goals within the industry? Are you a truck owner? Would you like to become a truck owner and start your own trucking business?
Are you interested in buying a truck? Would you like access to best-in-class equipment options? Would you like access to market-rate financing through a loan program that places an emphasis on work history, trucking aptitude and your attitude?
Would you like to save an average of $0.55 per gallon on diesel purchases at over 1,000 fueling locations nationwide?
Would you like to receive a below-market hourly rate for repairs and significant discounts for PM’s and oil changes at major truck stop chains?
Would you like access to National Account pricing on tires?
As an owner-operator or fleet owner, would you like to gain access to affordable insurance rates including physical damage, non-trucking liability and occupational-accident coverages?
Would you like be a part of a true community that offers comprehensive programs and full support that is focused on providing opportunities that allows community members to realize their new levels of success in trucking?
As you consider those questions, ES appreciates and understands that the road to profitability can be challenging for independent contract drivers, owner operators and small fleet owners. This is why ES has established proven programs that give you the tools you need to reduce costs and drive profits to your bottom line.
During this Driver Appreciation Week, ES would like to ask you to take a moment of appreciation for your career, what you have accomplished so far and where you would like to go on the road ahead in this industry. As you look at your future, ES would like to offer you the opportunity to explore the unrivaled savings and support found within a community that now features more than 10,000 trucking professionals.
