What a terrible way to plug a certain brand.

Every brand can get that kind of fuel mileage, or even better, running in the south doing 62-65 mph.

Every brand can be reliable.

The key to their succcess:

Co-owned by partners Aurelio Aleman, Sergio Lagos and George Gomez, U.S.A. Logistics Carriers specializes in serving factories south of the border and transporting finished goods all over the United States.

Think about how much more money they could save by not trading their trucks in every 3 years. If kenworths were so great, that wouldn't be needed.

My main intent of message is:

WITHIN the last 6 years how many co.'s/O-O have gone BELLY-UP?

Why is this co. growin s-o fast? -Because they avoided the inefficient Peterbilt FUEL HOGS? -I really think this is one of the reasons.

I HATE plugging ANY ONE brand, matter of fact I REMOVE co. emblems from anything I drive. I'm not their advertiser.

God Bless ALL!

Lots.

2% of their revenue. The reason they're successful is because they're specialized.

I was speaking more of the article itself.

I agree, they're ugly too!

IF the *SECRET* to success is s-o simple...., why don't more co.'s/O-O SPECIALIZE????

-just courious

[allan5oh]

Because they're lazy.

You don't necessarily have to haul specialized freight to "specialize".

Could just be better service, integrated IT, overnight service, etc..

[Twilight Flyer]

Could just be better service

That's it, right there.

A lot of drivers and/or company big wigs don't understand that. If you specialize in cheap freight with a 75% on-time delivery rate, that's what your whole business is going to revolve around. It's the carriers that run 98% or 99% on-time delivery that basically write their own ticket. In todays JIT world, an on-time carrier can set their rates, pay their drivers, and roll in the money.

Proving once again my theroy that you can add value to ANYTHING1

[no_worries]

That story doesn't tell you anything about how successful they are. The earned $100,000,000 in revenue...what's that tell you? Not much except the volume of business they do. With very few exceptions most trucking companies had higher revenue this year than in 2006. With very few exceptions, most trucking companies had significantly less profit than 2006. Many had losses. I've seen their recruiting literature and wasn't terribly impressed. I'll bet you'd have a hard time getting them to back up their statement regarding pay with hard numbers...I've seen what they broker freight out for :shock:

Don't believe everything you read.

Actually nearly all the trucks in USA's "nearly all-Kenworth fleet" are
Peterbuilts. They have a drop yard here in Laredo and most of the trucks are Peterbuilts.

That is incredible growth for six years. Makes you wonder if they are hauling something else (green or white stuff) from Mexico besides the cargo from the Mexican factories.

[GMAN]

For that kind of growth they would have needed to have a truckload of money to start or carry a huge debt load. There are some of the older trucking companies who have no debt. When they upgrade their fleet it is done by paying cash. Now those carriers are making money. Sometimes you need to look beyond the revenue numbers. It isn't how much you gross but how much you net that is important. There have been many companies who have gone broke who have had many millions of dollars in revenue. Unless there is profit, bankruptcy is just around the corner. I am not saying this carrier is going under, only that you need to look beyond the obvious.

......Makes you wonder if they are hauling something else (green or white stuff) from Mexico besides the cargo from the Mexican factories.

This is a L-O-S-E-R_'S mentality.

Just because *YOU can't accomplish one-thousanth (one milionth MOST likely) of what they're accomplishing shows you're a jealous/sour-PUSS/incompetent loser.

This co. is working in conjunction with the EPA to further the cause of diminishing our reliance on terrorist oil. They're improving their fleet's fuel economy over and above what's available from the manufacturers via aerodynamic components etc. EPA wants this from ALL energy users in the name of NATIONAL SECURITY.

-what are YOU doing in the name of national security *LOSER!

God Bless ALL, -Y-E-S!, sour-PUSS losers TOO!

Hey Amigo! R U working for them or just paid to defend them and promote their company? LOL

Hey Amigo! R U working for them or just paid to defend them and promote their company? LOL

No sir. None of the above.

I do want to meet them (and other owners of successful trucking co.'s) and see if I can duplicate some of their success. I'll be leaving for Austin next week and will try to meet them in McAllen.

There's a co. named Mesilla Valley something in Eastern NM (in the vicinity of El Paso) that I've been told has 3,000, 2,000 and 900 trucks (three different estimates from individuals).

Does anyone know an approximate number? I see them all over LA.

My enthusiasm/excitement in reading of such trucking successes is that I'm personally aiming on taking such a path (growing a large fleet).

I also GREATELY respect ANY co. that is concerned for our national security. This is one of MY main priorities.

Why is it *EXACTLY that one can't comment on such endeavors?

Envy, etc., etc., etc.

I BASICALLY do understand the negative responses. This relpyers are born losers.

God Bless you sir.

[Bigmon]

One of the keys to big growth is access to big capital. Comes down to who you know and how good you can schmooze them.

One day I was wondering how Penkse got so big. I found out GE is one of his partners.

Mesilla Valley Trucking. Royal Jones started with nearly nothing not too many years ago. He's a good hand and knows how to do business. He's not the greatest to his Lease Operators, but he is a businessman. I don't know how many trucks he has, I would guesstimate 2,500. He's opened a school as well. I've known him for many many years. Never tried to work for him though. They are out of Las Cruces, NM, 65 miles away from me.

I'm going to meet 'the man' as soon as conditions permit. I need to get past his 'front line' of course.

Any suggestions?

THX 4 the info, -that IS IMPRESSIVE!

It is said that you will never become what you envy. Thank God I don't envy successful/rich individuals, that puts me a notch ahead of the outright losers.

God Bless you Bandit! :!:
