O
wner-operator Phil Clark came to Sammons
a year and a half ago when he heard
about an RGN opportunity. He admits he
didn’t know much about Sammons and,
based on 11 years leased-on to other companies,
he didn’t expect much, either.
“What stands out most is they’re
one of
the most honest companies
I ever worked
for,” Clark said. “They never hesitate to
show you a rate. They really treat you like
you’re part of the company
and not just
somebody delivering their freight.”
He’s doing better than ever with Sammons
because they give him “
free reign to
allow me to run my business
” — meaning
he’s able to find his own freight if the
Sammons board
doesn’t have a
load to his liking.
But what
really seems to
impress other
drivers around
the truck stop
is how CSA is
treated at Sammons,
Clark
added.
“They have taken the attitude that if
you work hard, you’re going to be exposed
to more inspections and you’re going
to have issues,” he said. “But Sammons
doesn’t make it the end of the world.”
Instead, the safety department sits down
with drivers and goes over the inspection
reports.
“If you don’t have a habit of violations
— that’s what CSA is about, in my
opinion — then they let you work,” Clark
said. “
They understand our challenges
out here
.”
He too emphasizes the motto: Contractor
success = Sammons Success.
“They stand behind that 100 percent,”
he said. “They do their best to try to accommodate
what we need done — and that’s refreshing.”
