You'll have to excuse my gratitude post: Almost 3 years ago, I started working for H. E. Williams, Inc. I was given the opportunity to work on a little trucking project called Williams Logistics, Inc. In 2020, we had outdated equipment, processes, and partnerships. The company quickly dwindled from 6 to 2 employees. I struggled with driver turnover and recruitment. Since then, we have accomplished the following: 1. Amassed an office team with over 70 years of combined industry experience. 2. Hired some of the best drivers in the industry, many of whom are million+ milers. 3. Built relationships with core customers and brokers in the industry. 4. Decreased our deadhead percentage by 40%. 5. Increased our revenue by 46%. 6. Saved thousands of dollars through partnerships with fuel and maintenance vendors. 7. Increased the size of the fleet to 15 trucks and 30 trailers. None of this would have been possible without the support of folks with more experience and knowledge than me. Build yourself a team of people who each bring experience to an area where you are weak. #trucking #logistics #freight #gratitude

🚚 Big Moves in Trucking! 🚛 Ever wonder where the heart of America's trucking industry beats the strongest? It's all about location, location, location when it comes to hiring CDL drivers. 📍 🔍 The Midwest is a powerhouse, with states like Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois leading the charge.

And we can't talk trucking without tipping our hats to California. Despite its regulatory challenges, the Golden State's massive economy and ports like Los Angeles and Long Beach make it a prime spot for drivers to thrive. 🤔 So, what does this mean for recruiters?

Margins are always tight for transportation as such it makes sense for sharing of titles! Several major trucking companies have split their president and CEO jobs, handing the responsibilities to separate executives, rather than to one top official, as many businesses in trucking and other industries do. Werner Enterprises, Prime Global Trucking Inc. and Estes Express Lines are among a number of carriers that have separated the roles by promoting presidents from within — while keeping their CEOs in the top job. The reasoning behind such a move usually varies by the company. But two trucking executives who have held both job titles shared their insights with Trucking Dive on the demands of each role.

More than 80% of trucking companies in the United States, those in leadership in the organization have zero truck driving experience and most don’t even have a CDL. How will leadership ever relate to a driver, when they have no CDL experience? And we as a nation wonder why we have a 78,000+ and climbing driver shortage. It’s not a driver shortage, it’s a driver retention problem. Drivers are tired of telling those in the office how to do their job, so they leave. Instead of paying retention specialist a salary to find out why drivers aren’t happy, LISTEN to the driver - the one who has the experience, it’s a simple as that!!!

This is terrible; my heart and sympathy go out to those who lose a job like this. The teeter-totter of carriers being profitable and shippers being profitable must be balanced. It leads to customers' freight being abandoned, drivers being stranded, and people being abruptly jobless. Carriers are out there hauling freight for a loss right now, and it’s criminal. At the same time, prices increase for almost everything in the market. The only thing going down is rates for carriers. #saynotocheapfreight #supportyourlocalcarrier #trucking
2000 people out of work suddenly? 500 Drivers? 732 Trucks? 19 terminals closed? Wow! https://lnkd.in/eDAp2h5s
