Wheeler Trucking

I know someone who knows them well. From what he says, they are the real deal. They took over the medium duty truck haul (lowboy, stacked) that Allied inherited when they bought Commercial Carriers (Ryder). Top shelf operation.

 

They're legit!!!

 

We have worked with them on and off since Rex got started after the Allied collapse, they are a solid company and Rex has a ton of contacts. BUT, as with everyone there are things they could do better, they just made some personal changes in their billing dept. that have made things much smoother.

I guess I would say the biggest issue is that you will always be competing against the company trucks, because as outsiders you are pretty much covering overflow, but as you well know that is pretty much everywhere.

Also, as with other places rates have taken a hit lately, but I think that has more to do with people/other companies going in and undercutting their contracts, at least that is what I am seeing.

We have hauled out of several of their yards, aren't you up by Sacramento? Also give Phil a call, he knows Rex better than I.

 

We were hauling the chassis out of SD for the last couple of years, but the guy we were dealing with is no longer there and for what ever reason the new guy hasn't called us much, of course their contract on the stuff I was hauling out to the midwest may have gone to someone else?

Seems like contracts and pricing on some of these ramps and yards has taking some violent swings? At least that is what we have seen........................

 

12 days out? What lane were they wanting you to run??

 

That's what website says. I know Avon lake had California turns

 

Just read that, 12 days in for company drivers, under O/O's it says out 2/3 weeks and then 2/3 days home.
