If 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. And that place is the Spring EGG (Expediter Group Gathering), May 12 & 13 at the Landers Center in Southaven, Mississippi.
Our GRADE A line up of speakers reaches across the transportation spectrum in order to share information and knowledge to help keep you informed about the latest issues and trends in Expediting.

GRADE A Speakers. GRADE A Knowledge.

SPEAKERS AT THE EGG INCLUDE:

Donna Sleasman
Fedex Custom Critical Fleet Owner
Donna Sleasman began her career in trucking while working at a gas station in 1982.

Donna entered Expediting soon after her husband’s retirement in 1999, and as they say, the rest is history! She is now a successful Expediting fleet owner with an inspiring and interesting story to tell. You won’t want to miss it!

As an industry advocate and hands-on manager, Ellen attended Tri-C Truck Driver Academy in Cleveland, OH to earn her Class A Commercial Drivers License (CDL). In July 2012 she was honored by the White House as a Transportation Innovators Champion of Change. Ellen has had long and storied career involved with many aspects of the trucking business. She looks forward to sharing her knowledge and experience at The EGG.
