Counting Down To The Expedite Expo… Climb Aboard A Truck & Take A Step Toward Ownership

June 29, 2021

The upcoming Expedite Expo will offer attendees of the event the unique opportunity to step inside the trucks that ES will be bringing to the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum Conference Center in Fort Wayne, Ind. ES, which will be serving as the presenting sponsor for the 20th anniversary edition of Expedite Expo July 16-17, will have two booths inside the convention hall.
In addition to featuring the largest booth at the Expedite Expo, ES will have a second area on the exhibit floor that will display shining examples of the trucks that are available through the company’s ES Truck Sales Division. Danny Vernon, who is the Director of Truck Sales & Finance for ES, will be coordinating the activities within the company’s second booth at the Expo. The trucks that ES will be displaying at the Expo represent the range of opportunities available to professional drivers through the ES Community.
Danny and the ES Truck Sales Team have become fixtures at the Expedite Expo. In recent years at the Expo, Danny and the Truck Sales Team have been located in the parking lot outside the exhibit center. With the return of the Expo following a year off the event calendar due to the global pandemic, ES Truck Sales had the opportunity to have a booth inside the convention hall. The ES Truck Sales booth set-up for 2021 should be ideal for anyone who would like to take a closer look and get a feel for the equipment that ES has available.
As part of our countdown to mid-July and the 20th edition of the Expedite Expo, the Success In Trucking Podcast spent some time with Danny to talk about the preparations for the event. The podcast also gave Danny the opportunity to discuss what’s happening in truck sales as well as the current market conditions within the industry.
