Individualized attention
We’re small enough to be able to work with all of our drivers on a personal basis. At Perkins, drivers are not a number. We take the time to get to know every one of our drivers. Perkins’ personnel go the distance to understand each driver’s capabilities and needs for a mutually beneficial relationship. With this, the driver is more successful.

We’re a driver friendly organization
Think of us as your partner. Our relationships with drivers are based on making them successful. We have teams of people that work behind the scenes to increase our driver’s success potential – everything from profitability to safety compliance to cash flow. In short - when you’re successful, we are successful. It’s that simple.

We’ve put a real “A” team together with a support program that speaks for itself. Here are some of the features that make both parties successful:

Profitability: We continuously monitor and review utilization – miles and revenue per week – to ensure that the driver stays profitable and
generates more revenue.

Safety and Legality: We work tirelessly to maintain compliance with the
U.S. Department of Transportation to ensure that every driver is operating
at the highest levels of safety.

Scheduling and business development: Our account representatives work every day on scheduling and generating new business.

Extensive network: Our nationwide network of preferred vendors provide lower cost services for our owner-operators.

Maintenance support: We run one of the best maintenance support
teams in our industry.

Orientation starts on Monday. It is 2 and half days. Orientation is not paid, but we provide hotel accommodations and lunch for each day.  We will buy a bus ticket, but will not reimburse if a driver drives up to orientation. 
The drivers will do a road test and log test on their first day or orientation. They must pass both of these to continue in orientation. Then we will do a physical and drug test during orientation as well. 
Once class is over we’ll take them down to Huntingburg, IN where our shop is and they will select the truck they wish to lease. Or, if they are an o/o, they will have their truck inspected by our shop.
