The new trailers are in!

We will be exchanging most of the current Ryder trailers for brand new 2012 trailers as soon as we can have the old trailers routed in to Ft Wayne. We will try to coordinate these exchanges as smoothly as possible, but in case we dont remember, please remind us if you will be in Ft Wayne with a Ryder trailer so we can swap them out.  Thanks!

Want to make some more $$$$ ?

As a reminder,  please let your disptacher know if you have space open after loading. If you have time and room and we can find additional freight, we all have the opportunity to generate more revenue. In 2011,  Summit has paid out over $12,000  in bonus money to drivers and owners. You can be next! 

We have also paid out  over $10,000  in driver referral and sign-on bonuses since June. Remember, if you refer an owner operator to Summit and that driver meets our in-service goal and stays for 6 months, we pay you $1000, and there are no limits as to how many drivers you can refer. Who doesn't need some extra cash?

New!     Effective October 1, 2011 there is yet another way for you to increase your revenue. Click on the Safety Bonus attachment below.  In 2011, we paid out $400 to our Summit drivers and $700 to our Diamond Drivers.
