A High-Growth Investment Opportunity (That’s Free): Expedite Expo 2019

By Sean M. Lyden

“The best investment you can make is in yourself.”


This quote by billionaire investor Warren Buffet captures the essence of why you should consider attending Expedite Expo.


It’s an opportunity to invest in yourself and reap an immediate return of new ideas, contacts, and business opportunities.


Launched in 2001, Expedite Expo is the only trade show in the world geared exclusively to the expediting trucking industry.  And today, the Expo—which runs July 19 and 20 at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Ft. Wayne, In.— attracts attendees across North America, where they come to learn about the newest trucks, career and business opportunities, and products and services.


And here’s the kicker: You gain access to valuable industry education and networking opportunities—for free, the only cost is your time and parking.


So, whether you’re a driver, owner-operator, fleet owner, or looking for a new career path, here’s what you can expect as you plan your itinerary to get the highest return from your two-day investment.


New Venue

With ongoing construction at the Lexington Convention Center, the Expo has found a new home  Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne, Ind., on July 19 and 20.


The new venue is well positioned to accommodate the Expo’s growth with plenty of truck parking, a convenient location off I-69, and numerous dining and entertainment options.

ATA Calls for Data-Driven Approach to Transportation Reauthorization

Highlights Trucking’s Efforts to Improve Safety, Foster Innovation, and Increase Efficiency

American Trucking Associations President and CEO Chris Spear told members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee that the nation’s preeminent trucking advocacy group is committed to working with lawmakers as they begin work on a transportation reauthorization bill.  Spear also spoke to the industry’s commitment to strengthen and grow the industry’s workforce, as well as to maintain fair and free trade.  


“ATA pledges to help this subcommittee write legislation that takes into consideration the state and future of the trucking industry, looking beyond the hood – 5, 10, 15 years out – and how we can improve safety through innovation; how we can grow a diverse, well-trained workforce that shores up the very real and well-documented shortage of talent; how trucking can generate and invest real money into our decaying infrastructure; and, how trucking can help you shape free and fair trade agreements that make the United States the strongest economy in the world.”


In his testimony, Spear said the industry is committed to safety on the nation’s highways, and to the deployment of proven technologies that will make the roads safer.


“Safety anchors the very foundation of the trucking industry, shaping our core values and decision making,” he said. “That is why the trucking industry invests approximately $10 billion annually in safety initiatives, including onboard technologies such as electronic logging devices, collision avoidance systems and video-event recorders.
