Tips on recruitment, onboarding and retaining staff
I have always had a love of the road and have worked as a team driver and solo driver. But I was getting frustrated with the trucking companies that put profits over drivers. The pay would barely cover living expenses with limited benefits and seldom considered scheduling time for home or career advancement. My partner, Cristian Margineanu, and I had a dream to open our own trucking company and would drive for up to three months to earn money to make this dream come true.
In 2012, we opened MC Carrier, LLC, specializing in truckload refrigerated, dry van shipments, over-the-road trucking, and hazmat. The company has 204 trucks covering the contiguous 48 states.
