Let's appreciate our trucking companies

Hey drivers
I just wanted to give a quick shoutout to my favorite company I’ve ever worked with carlile transportation. They treated me right from day one, solid pay, good equipment, and real respect for drivers' time.
What stood out for me:
✅ On-time home time
✅ No forced dispatch
✅ Clean, well-maintained trucks
✅ Great communication from dispatch
I know every company has its ups and downs, but Carlile transportation made my job easier, not harder and that’s rare in this business.
Curious to hear from y’all…
Who’s the best company you ever drove for and why?
Let’s show some love to the places that actually do right by their drivers. Stay safe out there.

 

I wanted to explore something new outside Carlisle

 

Yeah, you’re right —Carlile Transportation was actually acquired by Saltchuk, not Cowan. Saltchuk owns several transportation companies up in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. Carlile’s still running under their own name though, and last I checked, they’re still doing a lot of that tough northern freight.

 

Carlile was sold out though and I wanted to start something new myself and I'm happy with what I'm doing now though I enjoyed my trucking days with Carlile
