Happy Anniversary, Long Haul Trucking!
July 1st is a special day at Long Haul Trucking as it marks the anniversary of the day we began! We cannot express enough the amount of gratitude and appreciation for we have for Long Haul’s founder, John Daniels, who started our organization 36 years ago! John began Long Haul with a vision of being a company that would offer elite customer service while standing by their loyal drivers every step of the way! Today, we are honored to be an organization that we feel still embodies John’s core values as a trucking company that is focused on building long term customer relationships, putting drivers first, and treating employees well! Our company is focused on taking strides daily towards always being one of the premier trucking companies to work for and do business with. Thank you, JD, for founding Long Haul 36 years ago, and giving us all a great company to be proud of!
Long Haul Drivers Shine at MTA Truck Driving Championships!
Long Haul was proud to be well represented by three of our company drivers/employee owners this past month at the Minnesota Trucking Association’s Truck Driving Championships! Our team was out there competing against some of the best drivers in the state and they did an outstanding job representing us! Please join us in congratulating Jon, Terry and Aaron for their awesome performances! All competing in the Flatbed Division, Jon finished in 2nd place, Terry in 4th and Aaron in 5th! Truck Driving Championships are all about safety, and to compete in them each driver must be accident free for the entire previous year. We appreciate all our driver’s attention to safety and especially these three who went on to represent Long Haul as safe drivers in front of the MTA. Thanks to all three of you for doing an awesome job representing Long Haul at this event!
