Hunt Transportation introduces dedicated dispatching A t 87 years old, Hunt Transportation is the oldest flatbed trucking company in Nebraska. As with all things, change brings new opportunity for growth. Throughout the company's history, Hunt has made great effort to listen to both customers and drivers alike, and this year is no exception. In 2015, Hunt conducted a survey with its drivers, asking how the company could improve current procedures to make drivers more productive. Based on driver feedback, Hunt is excited to announce that drivers will now have a dedicated dispatcher. The company is confident that this change in operations will improve productivity, communication, and execution of home time requests. "Hunt Transportation has always been a small, family company, focused on delivering quality service for our customers and providing a great career opportunity for our drivers", said Mark Swanson, president of Hunt Transportation. "We are proud of the fact that we get to know each and every one of our drivers and can call them by name. The biggest benefit in this change will be the ability to build even stronger relationships between our office staff and drivers." As the flatbed division of Crete Carrier, Hunt has a strong network to offer drivers. At Hunt, the driver is not just another number, but the company takes pride in knowing each one by name. Hunt drivers can also take advantage of the gold standard benefits, which includes health, life, dental, vision, 401(k) and profit-sharing. Plus, drivers at Hunt earn some of the top pay in the industry, with over the road drivers earning $.45 to $.48 per practical mile depending on experience. "I have been with the company for thirteen years," says John McKinley, Hunt Transportation Driver. "I like visiting the Omaha headquarters because they know my name when I walk in the door. I love my career because I get to see so many interesting places, and I like that I feel like part of the family here." Call us today at 888.350.0139 or visit us online at Hunt Flatbed.com.
