Get To Know Our Service Coordinators: Allen Fisher

January 12, 2024

So much in trucking revolves around business, profitability, and ultimately success. It is a recipe that many organizations have tried to perfect over the years, and it is one that the ES team continues to improve upon. The secret ingredient for Allen Fisher and other members of the ES Service Coordinator team, is their focus on the person behind the wheel just as much as the truck and the business components.

In Allen’s case, he has seen the importance of relationships stretching all the way back to his grandfather’s trucking business, where the industry became part of his DNA. The passion instilled at a young age led to 18 years behind the wheel, where he persevered through the challenges of this industry, and learned the value, firsthand, of having a helping hand – in business and in life.

“We are just people doing business with people,” Allen said in our most recent podcast. “Relationships, regardless of industry are all the same…they all take time and consistency. And that is what we try to bring to the table every day as Service Coordinators.”

The willingness to find the answer, and use the resources available, is one of the biggest benefits of joining the ES community, according to Allen. “You don’t just get a partner that wants to see you succeed in business, but one that wants you to succeed in life.

We encourage you to connect with Allen and other members of the ES team anytime you need help with business-related items, or if you just need a friendly voice on the other side of the phone. 

We are proud to have Allen as part of the ES team, his experience and knowledge are an incredible asset to anyone in the ES community.

Get To Know Our Service Providers: Colby Lynch

December 13, 2023

Spend a few minutes with the ES team, and you will undoubtedly hear us say that our community members “Never Stand Alone.” A big part of that equation, and a key advantage of partnering with ES, is the ongoing support from our service providers. Colby Lynch is one of the cornerstones of that team, and over his tenure with ES has helped countless community members learn, grow, and improve their businesses.

When talking about service providers, chances are your mind will immediately go to operational support. For Colby, helping with day-to-day operations is essential, but he will be the first to tell you that it is only a fraction of the job.

“Some days you are talking about strategy, others you are helping address questions or concerns. We want to see our partners successful in every aspect of their business and lives,” stated Colby in a recent interview.

In just five short years with ES, his approach, attitude, and willingness to listen and learn, have helped Colby forge relationships and have a lifetime of impact. He perhaps put it best stating, “We are here to help, and are by your side every step of the way.”

It is that mentality that can be seen across the entire service provider team, and what makes working with ES so special. We encourage you to connect with Colby and other members of the ES team if we can help LIFT up your business in any way.

We are proud to have Colby as part of the ES team and are excited to see his continued growth.

ES Women-Owned Business Initiative Reaches New Heights

November 29, 2023

Spend some time around the ES team, and you’ll quickly realize that we are all about opening doors and creating opportunities for those that are underserved within the trucking industry. The Women-Owned Business Initiative is one such project.

Women-Owned Business

Beginning in 2017, in partnership with the Women In Trucking (WIT) Association, the original 150 Challenge was designed to create 150 women-owned businesses and give women in trucking an avenue to secure financing and support to LIFT up their businesses.

With the help of our amazing partnerships, ES reached that initial goal in August 2022.

Because of the success of the 150 Challenge, and the continued need in the industry, ES expanded the program to serve and support women in the trucking industry with the Women-Owned Business Initiative.

Thanks to the growing momentum of the program, and the continued support from our partners, vendor network, and community members, members of the ES executive team attended the Women In Trucking Accelerate Conference in Dallas and celebrated surpassing 210 women-owned businesses created and financed by ES in November 2023.

That number only represents a small fraction of the story. It has only been made possible by the amazing women that have poured their blood, sweat, and tears into their businesses.

“It speaks to the tenacity, toughness, and mindset of these ladies who are coming into the industry and want an opportunity to do better for themselves and their families,” said Jason Williams, President & CEO of ES, from the main stage of the Accelerate Conference.

At ES, we regularly talk about Attitude, Aptitude, and Work Ethic, and the members of the Women-Owned Business Initiative are shining examples of what makes our community so great.

Help Us Get To 300

Progress within the Women-Owned Business Initiative has exceeded all expectations, but in many ways, we are just getting started. Women comprise over 40% of the ES Community, and we are excited to see that number grow in the coming months and years.

When we first began, 300 seemed a lofty goal, but today it is the next stepping stone. We cannot reach that goal without you! Help us share the message, and LIFT up more women within the trucking industry.

ES: A Holistic Approach

November 16, 2023

Spend a few minutes around any member of the Expediter Services team and you will likely hear us say that “with ES, you Never Stand Alone.” It is a motto that we have had since day one, and serves as a guiding principle as we move forward and expand the ever-growing advantages available to our community members.

Holistic Approach

But what does it actually mean? 

When you dig a little deeper you quickly realize that there is more than meets the eye. We have put support structures in place to help every aspect of our community member’s businesses, including those that go beyond the numbers.

A Holistic Approach To Business

Rather than looking at a single piece of the puzzle, we look at the individual and the business components as intertwined and have worked hard to create a holistic approach. This means putting support structures in place to make it easier to run your business, take care of yourself, and find success.

Physical

This might seem like an odd starting point, especially when so much focus in trucking is on the equipment, and we will certainly get there. But the simple fact is, we are a people-first company. The nicest, newest equipment is all for nothing if you aren’t healthy enough to keep the wheels moving.

Over the past year we have worked diligently to create an insurance program that is designed for truckers. This means access to medical providers anytime, anywhere and options that fit what you and your family need right now. The best part – you don’t have to take part in any other ES programs to benefit.

Spiritual & Mental Health

Similar to your physical well-being, your mental health is also incredibly important and a holistic approach wouldn’t be complete without this component. Trucking is a tough business. Issues like depression, anxiety, and loneliness are far too common in the industry and we want our community members to have access to people that are certified to help.

That is why we have partnered with Corporate Chaplains of America, and have a Corporate Chaplain on staff that is always available to talk, regardless of religious affiliation. 

Financial

One of the biggest draws to joining the ES Community is the ability to leverage our collective buying power and impact the bottom line of your business. Whether it is through equipment financing, or our fuel, shop, and tire discount program, the financial benefits clearly stand out.

Where we differ ourselves is in placing greater value on attitude, aptitude, and work ethic than credit history or score. Our goal isn’t to get someone signed up and sent on their merry way because our success is dependent on our community members’ success.

This includes being as open and transparent through the process as possible. We don’t shy away from the hard questions, and we are willing to pull back the curtain and show you the nuts and bolts of how our financial deals are structured.

Operational

Setting someone up for success in the trucking industry means more than just getting them solid equipment or a great discount on fuel. It also means having structures in place to help them manage their business, if needed. Like a spotter in a weight room, we are there to make sure that you have the support you need – when you need it most. 

The trucking business isn’t always sunshine and rainbows, and having someone that you trust and can connect with to help when times get tough can be the difference between success and failure. Whether you need professional services such as taxes, legal advice, or general business support, or just a sounding board on a bad day, we are here to help you weather the storm.

Support services are available 24/7 because we know that the trucking industry never stops.

Join the ES Community

The four pillars that we outlined above are a high-level overview of the different support structures that we have put in place over the years. We are committed to continuing to add to the number of advantages available to our community members.

If you are looking for a partner that can help you in every aspect of your business, connect with our team at 877-349-9303 and see for yourself why we are excited to bring a holistic approach to business within the trucking industry.
