A. Blair Enterprises, Inc. - Where you are NOT just another number

May 7, 2009 - 9:53:32 AM | By

You are not a number with A. Blair Enterprises. We know you by name, not your truck number. When you deliver into a city you will rarely ever find that there is anyone in that area ahead of you for the next load out. These are only two benefits of driving for our company. We have a small staff of dispatchers who work around the clock scouting any and all possible, profitable freight. You will not be working for us, we will be working with you; and we will show you the respect that you deserve.

In today’s economy we all have to work a little harder and a little smarter to make a profit. Because we know you personally, we feel a very real responsibility for your success, and our efforts will quickly become apparent to you. We do our best to offer you the best runs available and attempt to route you into areas that seem to offer the greatest number of options.

We have contracts with the major third party logistic companies dealing in expedited truck movements and maintain the highest standards and rating with each of these companies. Many of our loads are through direct contact with our customers and are never seen on the load boards.

Can we actually promise you that you will have a certain number of miles each week, or keep you busier than you have been in the past? The straightforward answer is “no”, we cannot. What we can promise you is that our small office staff is working on all cylinders for you, that we know you by name, that we know how long you have been in every location, and that we are constantly and consistently working for your success.

We are now seeking owner operators, single or team and would like the opportunity to show you how we differ from our competitors. If becoming a person again, instead of a number, and having a caring and supportive staff working in your best interests appeals to you, please contact us at your earliest convenience.  

We accept only the best on our team so you must have a clean MVR with a minimum of 2 years of verifiable expedited experience.

I`m in the Nashville Tn area, and i`m leased out ot a couple of companies, and i`m only averaging about one, or two runs a month with the two. I`m broke, and very frustrated. I`m treying to find something to work with, and verything i try is costing me more, and more money, and i`m getting very little results. I need work in the worst way, and i don`t know which way to turn next..... Can you help me....Please! I own a 2006 one ton Chevy 12 ft Cargo Van, and i live in Franklin Tn. If there is something we can do for each other, feel free to give me a call, or send a message. 615-861-0053

I am Truck driver with about 12 years under my belt. I have a clean driver's license with all endorsements.I also have port badges for Tampa and jacksonville(including TWIC). I would like to look into leasing a sprinter van w/sleeper. I know this might unlikely, but i would like to work tues. thru sat. mondays are cool if can get home that evening and then leave out that night. I figure that I don't need a logbook, so I could run as many miles as a big truck and still get home for spiritual obligations. Any ideas?

I drive for A. Blair. I just want to note that since i have been in this business going on 4 years now, that Tom and the boys at dispatch have treated me with respect and never lied to me-ever! they have always paid me on time. miles you want to know about? well this is expediting and they vary but in the past 3 months, i have never gone below 1000. my loads average 700+ miles and my deadhead is virtually nothing. I have never had a load less than 400 miles. never. they pay a little less than some carriers but know what? who cares if you are making money? i make a buttload with these guys and i am happy with my company. how many expediters pray for sleep? i do because they keep me rolling. i remember turning down a 1600 mile load from detroit to laredo because they ran me so much. oh yea! they have never pulled a load off of me after i picked it up. i know of a certain meowing company that used to offer me a 1000 mile load. then i go to pick it up and as soon as i am rolling down the highway, they called me back to say, "Mr. H., we are going to transfer this load in 300 miles." what tha???? why am i posting this? because i believe in this company and they have allowed me to live the expediting life i used to dream about. oh yea- and because an ignoramous driver couldn't do math this weekend and virtually told me i was stupid. ok whatever. i love a. blair and will continue working for them for a long time.

My wife and I have been driving going on six years in the expedite business. We drove for the well known (cat logo) for five years. Even though we hardley ever turned down loads or out of service our miles were declining. To drive for another company was a very hard decision to make. We wanted to stay but the miles had just disappeared,oh I forgot to mention we also are hasmat, goverment approve. We now drive for another company. We need a company we can stay with that can at least try to give us 3,000miles a week.We know no promises but at least try. Maybe get home once every 3mos.Texas.We are very hard workers. Just tired of the run around. We have a 2008 Sterling straight truck class 8, dock high,22'bx. We feel we could be a great asset to your company. If interested please Email us, tks.
