"This change was made so that Arnold could reward its partners and build strong relationships that will last long after the economy has recovered," says Tom Glaser, president of Arnold Transportation. "Because of that, we've raised rates to 91¢ per mile (loaded and empty)."
Arnold's Southwest Regional runs allows for predictable routes and more frequent home time while the Super Regional routes are perfect for those who want to run outside of their region and boost their earnings.
Independent contractors not only have high earning potential with Arnold, they will also get a great partner. Arnold offers steady freight, paid plates and permits, excellent fuel surcharge program, 24/7 road breakdown assistance, TripPak SERVICES, weekly settlements and more. Many of these benefits are part of ASAP (Arnold Savings Advantage Program), where Arnold enables owner operators and small fleet owner to save thousands of dollars in discounted programs such as tire, fuel and insurance.
"It's important to us to continue to look forward and to make Arnold Transportation a strong career option for independent contractors," says Glaser. "In addition to being able to rely on the strength of our parent company US Xpress, Arnold has been very proactive in weathering the economic storm. We're fortunate to be able to reinvest in infrastructure and keep moving forward. When the turnaround happens, we'll be one of the companies that will carry the industry."
According to Glaser, one of the many reasons Arnold is a good choice as a career home is the way people are treated. "Other companies talk about 'open door policies' but our management staff isn't even in their offices," he says. "We're all out where the drivers are! Their input is very valuable to us."
Glaser cites this interaction as basis for the impressive loyalty of Arnold's staff. "We have so many long-term people here because they have a great deal of pride in the company," he says. "They are proud to come to work here every day."
