I AM LOOKING FOR DRIVERS
WHO KNOW THAT LEAVING ON TIME WILL PUT YOU AT YOUR DELIVERY
ON TIME. MANY OF OUR LOADS ARE EITHER SCHEDULED DELIVERIES,
AND OR TIME SENSITIVE FREIGHT. WE RUN A CLEAN OPERATION AND
BELIEVE THAT DRIVERS
ARE THE KEY TO OUR SUCCESS,
AND COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY TO A DRIVERS SUCCESS. MOST OF
OUR FREIGHT IS WEEKLY DEDICATED FREIGHT SO REPETITIVE
DELIVERIES AND FAMILIAR FACES MAKE FOR
A COMFORTABLE SURROUNDING. WE STAY AS FAR AS WE CAN
FROM "FOOD GRADE" LOADS AND DOCKS. TIME OFF BY PRE-APPROVAL
IS NON-CONTESTED, AND HOME TIME IS "AS REQUESTED" UNLESS
ABUSED. OUR DRIVERS ENJOY THEIR JOBS HERE AND THAT IS
REFLECTED BY OUR BELOW AVERAGE DRIVER TURNOVER. PLEASE
