"Over the past year, the entire trucking industry has shown both an incredible resiliency and strength throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and we believe the country now has a better understanding of trucking's can-do spirit that is seen every day in the professionals behind the wheel," said Jason Williams, President of ES. "This new position of respect for the importance of trucking has inspired some in the industry to want to take the next step in their trucking careers. And while some industries have been stalled and economic headwinds from COVID still exist, there are tremendous opportunities in trucking for aspiring entrepreneurs and existing trucking businesses.
 
"With our Start Your Own Trucking Business Webinar, we will be working to provide information, perspective and a path forward for those interested in truck ownership, business operations and growth within a vital industry," added Williams. "During the webinar, you'll learn why our team at ES believes that now is time to start a business in trucking, and we'll also share why ES has the programs and support available that can pave the road toward enjoying success in trucking."
 
Williams will serve as one of the panelists for the Start Your Own Trucking Business Webinar from ES. He will be joined on the panel by Jeff Tacker, the Chief Operating Officer of ES and by Nate Meyer, who is part of the Equipment Sales Team from Stoops Freightliner. The webinar discussion will be moderated by Leah Shaver, the President and CEO of the National Transportation Institute. Leah, who also serves as a host on SiriusXM's Road Dog Trucking Radio Channel 146, will be leading the webinar in the style of a fireside chat.
 
In addition to perspectives from industry experts, the Start Your Own Trucking Business Webinar will feature the viewpoint of trucking business owners who are currently behind the wheel. Ken and Jessica Horn, who each have more than 20 years of experience as professional drivers, will be sharing their experience of becoming owner-operators and starting their own business through the programs and support offered by ES.
 
"Ken and Jessica came into our program in January of 2020, and we're looking forward to hearing them share their story during the webinar. They are a great example of what's possible for professional drivers who want to become owner-operators and grow a business in the trucking industry," said Williams. "The IN-SITE 2021 series is not about selling a truck or a program. Like the webinars we held last year, IN-SITE 2021 will be focused on what's happening in our industry and what can be possible. We hope that all those professional drivers, owner-operators, and fleet owners interested in the business of trucking will consider attending the live webinar or watching the on-demand replay."
 
ES has planned IN-SITE 2021 free webinar events for March and April as part of the overall program. The upcoming events in the series will also have topics of interest for owner-operators, independent contract drivers, fleet owners and any aspiring entrepreneurs within trucking. The topics and panelists will be announced in the near future. To stay up to date on the latest with IN-SITE 2021, please visit https://essuccessintrucking.com/insite2021/.
