5 Factors to Consider When Deciding What Trucking Company to Work for

Posted by deckerAdmin

How do you choose a good trucking company when you are being bombarded by phone calls, emails and texts from numerous prospecting trucking companies?

5 tips to consider when deciding what trucking company to work for. Choosing the best trucking company can not only  bring you home more money but offer you your preferred home time. #besttruckingcompany #trucking #truckingcompany #truckdriver #trucker #truckamenities #truckingaccessories #truckaccessories #truckerslife #lifeofatrucker #DeckerTruckLine  #trucks #logistics #Peterbilt #Semi #SemiTruck #truckingequipment

Stability

Is the company well established? Does the company offer a stable work environment? Will you receive consistent paychecks or a guarantee/minimum pay?

Work Life Balance

What kind of home time does the company offer? Are you looking for something that’s more local or are you looking for something regional where you’re home on a weekly basis or are you considering maybe something that’s over the road and don’t mind being out for two to three weeks at a time? Before you decide on what company to start working for is important to know where you stand on your expectations. What are you wanting? What are you and your family needing?

Comforts and Conveniences

Does the company provide a refrigerator? A microwave? An inverter? These are all things to consider when looking at a trucking company because you may need to invest in your own cooking utilities, or you’ll have to budget eating out which can be very expensive when you’re out on the road.

When a company provides some of those resources to their drivers shows that they’re not only looking out for you and your health but trying help you reduce your expenses out on the road. Being able to budget your finances can be difficult with most of your money going towards take out. By providing a refrigerator, a microwave, and an inverter in order to use a crock pot or a grill the company demonstrates how important it is to save money on the road not only for them but for you.

What kind of comforts does the company offer you besides just cooking options?

Do you have plenty of space in the truck? Are the beds comfortable, roomy & a clean mattress? Is there enough storage in the truck for all your personal items? Are the seats air ride?

What are some of the conveniences that the company provides you? Not only are a microwave, a fridge and inverter wonderful things to have, but there are conveniences such as a television with satellite TV programming, and Sirius radio.

Top qualities of elite trucking companies. Here are 5 tips to consider when deciding what trucking company to work for. Choosing the best trucking company can not only  bring you home more money but offer you your preferred home time. #besttruckingcompany #trucking #truckingcompany #truckdriver #trucker #truckamenities #truckingaccessories #truckaccessories #truckerslife #lifeofatrucker #DeckerTruckLine  #trucks #logistics #Peterbilt #Semi #SemiTruck #truckingequipment

Tools On-Hand

Does the company supply the tools for you to do your job properly? Do you have a quality ELD system? Do they provide you with top of the line navigation? How do you get your paperwork in?

Equipment

What kind of equipment does the company have? Is it well maintained? Are they newer model?

These are all things that you want to consider when you are choosing a trucking company.
