DUBUQUE, IA (September 13th, 2023) –
Please join us in welcoming Fred Staugh as our new Chief Maintenance Officer. Fred is recognized as one of our industry's top maintenance leaders. Over the past 20 years he’s been responsible for buying, maintaining, and selling trucks and trailers for CRST (6,000 trucks & 18,000 trailers) and JB Hunt Dedicated (9,000 trucks & 25,000 trailers) as well as fuel sourcing/ management & facilities. Fred was recently recognized by Heavy Duty Trucking as one of this year’s Fleet Innovators. This a great quote about Fred from the article that is included below “he looks for solutions that are a “trifecta,” or a “win all the way around” from a safety perspective, from a driver comfort perspective, and an economic, or fuel consumption, perspective.”
One of the biggest benefits of being a driver for Hirschbach is that you have options. Like the thought of hitting the road by yourself? Be a solo driver.
Or have you never considered being a driver because it seems lonely? Have a spouse or friend you wish you could spend more time with? You can be a team driver.
Team driving is when two truck drivers make runs together on the same carrier. This allows for the haul to always keep moving because when one driver takes a break, the other takes over.
Here are 5 reasons to be a team driver for Hirschbach:
Everyone in the trucking industry knows that drivers is a hot topic. Every company needs more and offers are abundant. Hirshcbach has not changed much in recent years in the type of positions offered. There are lease operators, owner operators and company drivers for OTR and dedicated/regional solo and teams, or local company drivers through Spot by Hirschbach. While that is pretty standard industry wide, there has not been a position for part time operators.
During Driver Appreciation Week (September 13-19) Hirschbach President and CEO Brad Pinchuk announced the 2019 Hirschbach Ass Kicker Award Winners. This award is usually announced and presented at the annual Best of the Best Banquet. Unfortunately, we were unable to have a banquet this year, so the announcement and presentation went a little differently with Brad announcing the winners via his video podcast. Congratulations to
Paul Bohr - 30 year Hirschbach driver - and
Marcus Hall - 23 year Hirschbach driver on being named Hirschbach Ass Kickers!
