    Yep Delivered in Chester NY, picked up in North Brunswick NJ. Nice 10,000 lb load heading back to Salt Lake. This is a dry load so no reefer running which is typical for return loads out of that area
    Truck on!

    Few weeks ago I requested couple days home time in Florida so I could visit my Mom. Tomorrow dropping this load in Salt Lake and picking up a load heading to ...... yep ....you guessed it....Florida!!
    For me this company has done a great job getting me home when asked. They missed exact home time days a couple of times but usually are right on the exact day or day before. In trucking that's not easy to do so Shipex gets an A + for getting me home. This Florida trip we requested to be off the 27th and 28th I will get there the 28th.. Not bad considering that 2 day shutdown in WY last week. Pretty sure they planned these loads in advance to get me there on the 26th but that 2 day delay threw it out of whack.

    .Truck on..

    Very few companies like this outhere anymore...co's who take care of their drivers real good are more likely to have the drivers take care of the customers real good which in turn makes everyone involved happy but everyone also makes their money too...a happy employee is a productive employee...too many companies either don't get that or simply don't care..

    I know it, isn't that the truth, have wondered for years how some companies stay in business
