Advantages

We recognize the members of our fleet for great customer service and safe driving through a number of reward programs.

Annual Elite Fleet Award
This award goes to the top 40 owner operators in the fleet each year, based on availability, load acceptance, on-time service and accident-free driving. The winners receive an all-expenses-paid trip with an awards gala in their honor.

Quarterly Elite Fleet Award
At the end of each quarter, we will look at all the contractors who meet the Four Star criteria and will award $100 savings bonds to the 100 with the highest load acceptance for that quarter.

One Year Accident Free
The accident free program requires an individual to be active the entire calendar year beginning with 1/1 of that year until 12/31 and have no involvement in any preventable accidents.

10- and 20-Year Safe Driving Awards
This award honors our owner operators who drive accident-free with us for 10 or 20 years.

We offer clear communications from our headquarters to you out on the road.
