Harold Ives Trucking remembered

I drove for Harold Ive's back in 1998, they paid for CDL and Mr. Ive's was real cool. The Clintons didn't have anything to do with the company. Mr. Ive's did take good care of his drivers, that was back in the good ole days of trucking.

 

I must be thinking of another AR company. I do remember hearig about they had one before they moved to the whitehouse..js

 

Did Burl Ives drive his employees like slaves? I had to work almost 12 hours Monday and Tuesday.

I tell you the truth, I’m going to give the owner a stern talking to today! I gotta hurry though, I think he’s coming back from deer camp Monday.

 

I ran the Middletown to LR in one day. Diane in logs ripped me a new one when I showed up at the safety breakfast the next morning.

 

Rumor

 

Harold didn't let anyone screw with drivers IF they were right. Dispatch, shippers, receivers, ANYONE!!

 

They was good I remember being out with my trainer and they sent a message for him to call, my step dad was in a coma and not expected to live they didnt hesitate turned us around and headed us home. They told him because they didnt want to tell me over a phone but let him v

 

I remember I was with my trainer in Tn. We got a message for him to call it was an emergency we stopped and he called in. My stepdad was in a coma they didnt want me to find over the phone they turned us around and we raced back to LR and I hitched a ride with my friend back to where he lived. I got there 10 mins after he passed but they did all they could. Sitting here today loading scrap paper they have 2 old Cowboy trailers...53265 and 53261
