Kristy Lohre, Event Director and the coordinator of the Expediter Workshops says, “The 2013 EO University Expediter Workshop Series is just about to kick off in Knoxville and we’re looking forward to another great season of expedite trucking seminars and making new friends at our events!”
“Since beginning the series in 2007,” Lohre continues, “we’ve been able to help over 6,000 people decide if this trucking career opportunity is right for them.”
“It’s been a rewarding experience for me personally, to meet people from all career backgrounds and learn how they took the information at our workshops, made a carrier and truck choice and they’re out on the road making their dreams happen.”
The workshops are designed to give an overview of the expedite trucking business and to answer the many questions prospective drivers have about getting started. The events cover everything from what is expedited trucking to truck financing and business management. The workshops are very helpful in determining if expedited trucking is the right career for an owner-operator.
Lohre says, “The Workshops are presented in a fun and friendly atmosphere with the emphasis on sharing factual information about how to get started in the time critical freight business. There are many truck-load drivers and empty-nesters who are looking for that career that they can share together.”
“We have a number of couples attending our events who we find have been researching the business through our web site, ExpeditersOnline.com. They tell us that they feel the expediting opportunity offers them a chance to operate their own business which provides a very respectable income, while at the same time, they can see the country together.”
A highlight of the EO University Expediter Workshop Series is the roster of experienced professionals who present this opportunity in plain language. The speakers, some of whom are currently owner-operators and fleet owners themselves, give a real-world picture of the business, without a rose-colored glasses perspective.
The speakers for this opener in Knoxville are a group of very popular presenters, with many years of experience in the business.

Lohre states, “Because of the low-key, informal setting of the Workshops, the attendees can meet one-on-one with our speakers after their presentations to have any additional questions answered.”
She adds, “We also have a number of the best expedite trucking carriers in North America and truck dealers – all to help our attendees in finding answers.”
“And, you know, the Workshops are not just for those considering the business, they are for the current expediter as well. Our seminars are a great way for the expedited freight professional to discover new strategies and tips to assist you in running your business.”
This event is free of charge, but we ask that attendees pre-register online. There will be refreshments served along with giveaways provided by our sponsors.
This is a fantastic opportunity to get the facts on one of the fastest-growing and lucrative segments of transportation today – expedited freight! If you’ve been considering a career in this industry or if you’ve been looking to start your own business, the EO Workshop is for you!
