FLI Member Testimonial


""I attend FLI events to keep my finger on the pulse of what is going on in the trucking world outside of what I see day to day.  To gain a different perspective and or just see trucking through some else's eyes via their stories and experiences. The new direction, focus, and efforts are noticed and appreciated.  I am looking forward to future events."  - Braun Winchester, Sales & Leasing Consultant, General Truck Sales​
