E L Henderson

I have driven for EHT for the past two years as a L/O on the Dry Van side and have mostly good things to say about this company. I love the fact we do not run to the Northeast or west of Denver (unless you are a team truck and they do California runs). Company has good well maintained equipment. In the past year we got somewhere around 200 brand new trailers. Being a small company the staff at the headquarters really do know your name. You rarely sit with this company as 98% percent of the time I have a pre-plan for the next trip before I deliver my current load. IMO the biggest downside/complaint I have is they pay Short / HHG miles. Could I make more $$$ driving for a different carrier? Probably but to me quality of life and being happy in the job is a huge part of the work equation.

 

Haven't seen any of their trucks for so long
I forgot all about them.

 

Are you company or lease.
I didn't know lease operators got fuel ,safety,
And sign on bonuses.

 

On the Dry Van side our trailers have a "TREKKER" logo.

 

You know what going on.
They can't make any money on the freight they're
Moving, so their going all lease drivers.
They can make more money off of lease purchase drivers
Then they can off of the freight.

Take their cut off the top of the load,give the lease
Guy what's left and let him pay for everything and
Take all the risk.
It's bulletproof.

 

Didn't they used to have EL Henderson trailers.
Written in big letters on the side.

 

I can assure you I am NOT a recruiter. It amazes me that when drivers who actually like some of the things their company does and are relatively happy at that job are accused of being shills for the company and paid to post positive reviews or this has to have been written by a recruiter for Trucking Company X.
