- June 7, 2017It doesn’t matter where you’re from or even your background. Opportunity is a universal concept that brings out the best in people. As proof of this principle, Spotlight News shines the light on Willy Cordosa and his father Adilton dos Santos, two men who came to this country from Brazil looking for opportunity and finding it in Expediting. “Our family came to the U.S. thirty four years ago after getting a green card. I had worked a number of jobs over the years, my most recent job was delivering pizza and cooking. I’m excited at the opportunity to start my own Expediting business,” said Willy.
- May 31, 2017Everett and Shirley Elder Hooker’s journey to becoming professional Contract Drivers began about the time of the economic down turn in 2008. They had recently moved to Louisiana from Florida, but work was scarce. It was then that they set their sights on Expediting. They signed on with Panther Expedite and began driving for an owner. This opportunity lasted about three years, and according to Shirley, their situation wasn’t ideal, to say the least. “Our carrier began going through some changes at that time and the owner we worked for was very unprofessional. To say he wasn’t a very nice person was an understatement. We knew it was time to make a change.”
- May 18, 2017The Spring EGG 2016’s focus on truck sales yielded a success rate of over 80% in helping attending drivers to become owners, owners to become fleet owners and fleet owners to grow their fleets. In addition, several attendees committed to purchasing multiple units, and another committed to purchasing the first Volvo 780 factory dry Straight truck. Overall, it was a very good EGG on many levels!
- May 15, 2017We’d like to thank everyone who attended this year’s EGG (Expediter Group Gathering)! It was a great turnout, with lots of opportunity, fellowship and food. We’ll soon be sharing success stories of our guest speakers, attendees and new truck owners in future issues of Spotlight News.
- May 9, 2017If you’re a driver looking to become an owner, an owner looking to upgrade, a fleet owner looking to grow your fleet or if you’re someone who is looking to start an Expediting business in a team environment, there’s only one place you can hear and meet top transportation industry leaders.
