In It For the Long Haul!

As we look back AT the previous year, one of the most outstanding accomplishments is the number of milestone anniversaries that we had to celebrate! From Owner Operators, Company Drivers and Office Professionals alike, there is a resounding sound of loyalty running through the veins of our employees, of which we are incredibly grateful! Finding the right employees to make your company run well is never easy, and fortunately, thanks to the loyalty of those already here, we don’t find ourselves having to hunt for new ones all too often! Congratulations and thank you again to all of our milestone anniversary achievers for 2024, you truly help drive our company’s success!

Winter Driving Tips

• Make sure you are carrying the appropriate food supplies, hydration supplies and clothing for winter driving and unforeseen weather delays.
• Please remember to add anti-gel into your fuel tanks when traveling into a region with colder temperatures.
• Any time you are coming out of the south, once north of I-80, you need to purchase fuel, as it is treated for colder temps.
• If you are home, or on your 34-hour reset and temps are below freezing, make sure your APU is operating. Do not let it sit idle for more than 16 hours without being ran.
• Carry extra fuel filters.
• If you are running west, make sure you are equipped with chains or cables if needed for icy or snowy terrain, especially when driving through elevation.
• Call dispatch immediately if you do not feel safe, no load is worth one your safety.

Home For the Holidays?

Part of our companies’ mission is to ensure all our teammates are able to spend the holidays in a satisfying, fulfilling manner, and a major factor that contributes to this happening is working with fleet and dispatch in a timely manner to be routed toward your preferred destination!
