“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” – Howard Thurman
More than 3,140 trucking companies went out of business last year.
Typically, around 85-90% of startup trucking companies fail.
It’s not always easy to run a company, but it’s especially difficult in the competitive transportation industry. So as my company approaches it’s 10-year mark, I am excited to share some of the key factors that have made DVL Express one of America’s fastest growing 5000 Inc. companies.
One of the unique things we instituted to help our drivers grow was a driver’s development program. We train drivers to become better professionally depending on the path that works best for them. If a driver wants to become the best paid OTR or local driver we have steps to make that happen with our Progressive Incentive pay structure. If a driver wants to haul a different type of trailer, we offer an in-house training program. If a driver wants to become a lease-operator or owner-operator, we have a program for that as well. I want it to mean something to put DVL Express on a resume, because it shows that the driver has been well equipped.
