If you're heading to the 2026 Linehaul Summit, come see us at booth 50. 👋🏻

We'll be talking about what's actually working in driver recruiting right now—what's changed, what hasn't, and what linehaul contractors are doing differently to keep their runs covered.

Plus, we're giving away swag and a JBL Flip 7 speaker. See you there!

📍 Booth 50 | Irving, TX | May 13–14

We're so excited for the 2026 Route Consultant Expo, this Thursday and Friday at Music City Center in Nashville.

🗓️ This is a can't-miss even for logistics entrepreneurs.

While you're there, come visit us at booth 511! We'd love to talk to you face-to-face, give you some merch, and discuss your 2026 recruiting strategy.

Happy New Year's Eve! 🥂
