Arka Express inc.

Used to yard dog their trailers, among other companies', in Kentucky.
Seemed to be in pretty good shape. Put one or two empties on a door, warehouse would load them, then I'd pull them and put them on the line.
I'd say 9 times out of 10, their drivers would drop their empty, grab paperwork, hook the loaded trailer and go.
Occasionally, they'd do a live load.
Loads were heavy, but this was a regular gig for Arka. 4 to 6 loads a week.

 

Home Depot in the South and Target and Home Depot in the North they do drop and hook, but it's not contract. I think most of their DC stuff is through CH Robison bids; I always got broker data when I ran DC stuff under them

They have fields of brand new tractors and trailers that aren't even being used; they are getting big money from somewhere and it's not the loads they run..... This company will soon be one of the top megas

 

It used to have many Russians! I delivered to a warehouse close to them . Some even had a hard time speaking English! There were a bout 6 of the Russians in one night who was at Arka in trucks

 

They have terminals in South Atlanta GA and Chicago IL. It's Russian refugees and a lot of people from around the terminals who can't get jobs doing anything else...
