From the Desk of Mike Smith:
Dear potential Smith Trucking Driver,
Below is a snap-shot of where we began over 75 years ago and what we have to offer our drivers today! You could say we have come a long way from where we began!
I want to extend a personal invitation to you to do your homework and check us out, read our reviews, talk to our drivers when you see them fueling up next to you or sitting in the truckers lounge. They really are the best source of how it really is to be apart of Smith Trucking!
Then give us a call and talk to Stacy our recruiter (and my wife) she will tell you like it is and give you no B.S., that is how we operate here. We keep it simple and straight forward. We want you to start driving and in a short time realize that you can have a successful career here at Smith Trucking because when you succeed we all succeed!!
Be safe out there,
Mike Smith
Above is a photo of my Grandpa Joe Smith back when he hauled grain and livestock and did some corn shelling for local farmers.
My purpose in sharing Grandpa Joe is to let you know that Trucking is in our DNA! It's a legacy that was started by him and was carried on by his son, Phil and his wife Rita and continues to this day with Phil's children, Pat, Mike and JoAnne, all owners who are active in running the day to day operations.
My Dad, brother and I all drove ourselves before moving into full time management positions in the company. We know what it's like to be out on the road, we ourselves delivered to many of the same places that we still go today. This experience has given us the unique ability that many other companies these days do not have, to run Smith Trucking from a Truck Drivers point of view.
Now that you know a little bit about how we got started let me share with you some of the benefits that you will get when you decide to become part of Smith Trucking.
Here is just the tip of the iceberg of what
you'll get with us…
