Brown Line Transportation, Mt Vernon, WA

Brown Lines does run Alaska, summer time mainly and team only. I've seen them up hear regularly during fish season. As fo Carlile, I run to Prudoe Bay three times a week and for every one Lynden truck I see five or six Carlile trucks. I have pulled loads for Brown Lines during the busy season and they are great folks to deal with. I am an independant O/O set up with Lynden Transport, I get loads from their sister companies all the time and if I were running down there I would sure call the folks at Brown lines or use lynden to get at thier freight.

 

Does Brown Line have tuition reimbursement?

 

I am interviewing with Brown today and am pretty excited by the good press they get. Running team/dedicated with Swift now, it's fine except for the low pay.

Savage: Did you get the job? How is Brown treating you? Do they only run teams or do they also offer solo? Thanks!

 

Yes, love it. Laying in the sleeper right now. They run teams regional linehaul and solo local.

 

Glad to hear! Do you know what they pay for solo local? Is solo local a Monday thru Friday gig?

 

Yes, $20 an hour, but you have to do linehaul first as there is a waiting list to get local. Still, a lot of guys do the line haul and volunteer for extra local days.

 

Brownline sends trucks up there as well.

 

Almost a year later... how are things going at lynden? Been thinking about joining becouse I have a foot in there. How's the home time? Still happy?
