We have several empty log trucks right now — 106, 76, 77, and 82. All of them need experienced drivers.
If you know good drivers, or meet good drivers, talk to them about working here. You guys are our best advertising. People trust other drivers more than anything we can put on paper. Tell them how we treat you, how steady the work is, and how busy we keep you.
Here’s why this matters:
When every truck is running, the whole fleet becomes more profitable. All of our overhead costs go into one big pot — things like insurance, office staff, shop costs, yard expenses, and so on. That overhead gets divided across the trucks that are actually working.
Simple example:
-
$50,000 monthly overhead
-
25 trucks running
-
~400 miles/day for 21 days
-
Overhead cost: 24¢ per mile
But if we have 30 trucks running the same amount of miles:
-
$50,000 overhead
-
30 trucks running
-
Overhead cost drops to 20¢ per mile
Same overhead. Same expenses.
But fewer trucks running means the cost per mile goes UP.
Four cents per mile may sound small, but across the 3,000,000 miles we run each year, it adds up fast — and that doesn’t even include the lost revenue from trucks that sit still.
Help us fill these seats. The more trucks moving, the stronger the whole operation runs.
