This scenario is cyclic. It has happened before and it will happen again. As Wingnut indicated we all have to work together. The carrier has responded to many of the concerns voiced by O/O's and fleet owners. We need to reciprocate and pitch in too. Better days are ahead! Let's all...

From what I am seeing, and hearing, is that Tri-State is simply replacing those units which have left the fleet. The base number of units has actually declined slightly. Every carrier has a weekly orientation. Why? It should come as no surprise as to the tremendous "turn-over" rate...

Welcome! I really like the Driver's Lounge. Nice showers, free laundry, huge kitchen, big screen TV, free wireless internet and the picnic tables on the patio. Plenty of parking spaces too! Butch and the guys in the shop are the best I have ever seen. They just put a new QC in my truck...

The article by Jeff Jenson explains why I chose to be a member of the team at Tri State. I will call particular attention to the section entitled: "The Drivers". Mr. Chidister, CEO, knows that today's drivers are not simply going to accept every load offer that is presented to them. He goes on...

Loyalty and longevity should be rewarded. This is why the management of Tri-State decided to change its policy regarding weekly usage fees for QUALCOMM. The previous policy stated that all straight trucks & tractors leased on receive free weekly service fees for their first full year. After...
