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Inc. I was given the opportunity to work on a little trucking project called Williams Logistics, Inc. In 2020, we had outdated equipment, processes, and partnerships.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
