Hello all-
I'm new to the trucking industry overall. Let me explain...
Many years ago, John and I were big-city street cops- did the academy together and worked the wee hours of the morning sweeping up the troublemakers of Atlanta. After 5 years or so, we got sick of it- I moved to Florida, went to grad school, and became a banker, and John got behind the wheel and went over the road.
Now, twenty-five years later, I'm a retired business guy, and John has been a fleet manager, terminal manager, and general manager and now owns a 30-truck 4PL carrier in Memphis.
Unexpectedly, John landed two direct clients that give him an amount of freight commonly known as a rhymes-with-spitload. He doesn't have the drivers to pull it all, and doesn't have any experience building out a national recruiting program, and I do. So, he hired me, and my job is to learn the industry and get the crew he needs to bring his company up to the next level.
Thanks in advance for any help y'all may give here.
