Williamsburg/Norfolk/Richmond VA good trucking company?

This made me laugh I work for Houff and I can assure you that you better have thick skin to work there. I'm not saying they curse you but they certainly only care about one thing and that's moving freight.

 

Tell me what trucking company that doesn't care for anything else other than moving freight. That is the reason they are in business, they are certainly not in business to sell anything besides service. I worked part-time for Houff out of Weyers Cave and I can say first hand, that I made pretty good money and didn't hurt myself. But! As I said, they just do not know how to communicate in a business manner.

 

I also drive for Houff and am home every weekend. Pay is great just got big raise last year and all the new trucks do have the bells and whistles....by end of next year all road drivers (home every weekend) will have a truck about 3 years old or newer all Volvo and freightliners with automatic transmission. I've been here almost 5 years and you need tough skin but once your used to it you'll do fine...

 

What I meant is they don't care about their drivers just moving freight. Simple enough?

 

The Dedicated runs are pretty good. At least you won't be thrown around like a pack mule like I am sometimes. LOL But you've seen my "rantings" on here so you know my attitude towards Averitt.

 

Supervalu has a terminal in Mechanicsville, VA. I work for them in PA, 80 grand a year (more or less, depending on how willing you are to work), free insurance, and home every day. The hours stink (don't be afraid of night driving like some of the members here), but all in all its a good place to be.

 

We can always use the people for the dedicated account if it's the same one that I think your talking about. Oh and I did find out, it's not all night driving as well... Just depends on the delivery time. but so far, most of the runs seem to be during the day.

Also, if you willing... They seem to have some New York runs (not sure where) that people don't want to take, so you might have a leg up so-to-speak, if your willing to run those.
