CDA Exhibiting at ECA’s “2017 Shippers/Carriers Marketplace” March 28-30!

In an effort to show our great member value and the power of our business-to-business networking, CDA will have a booth at theExpress Carriers Association’s “2017 Shippers & Carriers Marketplace”, March 28-30 at the InterContinental in Dallas, Texas. This is THE national conference where Shippers and Carriers network and provide referrals to form delivery and logistical partnerships – that means business opportunities for us, people! Thanks to our very own Ian Finn (One Hour Delivery/Walnut Creek) and JC Burnett (Loadchief, Courier-Messenger/Santa Clarita), who are making the journey “on their own nickel” and manning CDA booth to sign people up to join CDA, get folks to post RFPs and give us referrals. If you’re a shipper/carrier or someone else interested in connecting with CDA and our members, please be sure to stop by our booth!
