I came to Daily as a company driver with a few objectives, one of which was to buy a truck. At first it seemed like I made a mistake, (the economy went to pot) but as time went on ,things got a little better. Eventually, I finally decided to buy the truck It was in. That decision was made at the very beginning of the recovery. At a time when nobody was willing to lend money, Daily financed the truck for me with a lower interest than I could get anywhere else. They also made sure everything on the truck was in good working order on their dime! (Thanks!) I came out of the starting gate with a good truck at a good price. Work has been steady since. I am very glad I stayed during the hard times, and am looking forward to being around for many years yet to come. I would not hesitate to recommend Daily to anyone who is looking for "a home" to lease to.
Sincerely,

Although I have been with the company for a short time it’s amazing how "at home" I feel with Daily, even though we got off to a rocky start because of the holiday and the few restrictions I have. My dispatcher from the Jacksonville terminal is great, I had been on the road for about a month and was in serious need of some home time R & R. I let him know I was ready to go home for a few days, and within a half hour he had me a load going home. If they’re all like him, then you have a winning team. The other drivers I have met seem to be great people and very professional when it comes time to put the rubber to the road. The office staff there in Carlisle is great. Kudos to the girls in contractor services. The few times I have needed them things were taken care of in minutes, not days like other places I have worked. I foresee a long relationship with Daily and myself.

I would like to say that through the years at Daily Express I have had the opportunity to haul bigger and better paying freight than ever before. I have been in both the position of obtaining help from other drivers, and also giving it. The experience that I have acquired is a valuable asset to not only myself as an individual but also as an owner operator who works at Daily Express.
