We’ve got LOADS OF LOVE for our drivers

Valentine’s Day is here – which means it’s a great time to share the top five reasons we love our Halvor Lines drivers.

1. Halvor drivers are true professionals. The women and men who drive with us know the meaning of respect. They show it in all their interactions, at customer sites, in our terminals, and with other drivers out on the road. We often get emails and calls from customers commending our drivers for going the extra mile to deliver a load or troubleshoot a problem at the shipping or receiving dock. And it’s not uncommon for motorists to call in compliments on our drivers’ attention to safe speed limits, following distances, and more.

At Halvor Lines, our values don’t come from the top down. Folks live the value of respect across our company, starting with our drivers. We’re grateful for the example they set within Halvor and out on the road.

2. Our drivers are safety-driven. Last year, our drivers logged more than 63 million miles. That’s more than 2/3 of the way to the sun! And these were safety-conscious miles, to boot! Halvor Lines logged one of the lowest crash indicator scores recorded by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration in 2021*. They also ranked Halvor Lines well ahead of its peers when it came to accident-free trips and basic vehicle maintenance (another big safety factor.) Sorry for the pun, but – this safety record is no accident. Our drivers participate in regular safety education and training. And for the last two years, they have embraced new technology that monitors their driving performance and reports it as a “GreenZone” score. They’ve been raising the bar on their scores every month!

3. Halvor drivers are community conscious. Foodbank deliveries. Animal welfare organizations. Wildlife preservation. Wreaths for fallen and departed veterans. These are just some of the many ways our drivers make a difference to their communities and causes they’re passionate about. What’s more, drivers have a strong voice in Halvor’s charitable giving. A number of the donations we make each year to charities and non-profit organizations are made through requests from our drivers.

4. Our drivers will always lend a hand. Whether it’s something simple – like helping a new driver uncouple a truck and trailer – or stopping to rescue an injured driver at the scene of an accident – our drivers don’t hesitate. We even had a fire department call us to comment a driver whose quick thinking likely prevented a summer brush fire. Our drivers understand the challenges of life on the road. And many of them remember what it meant to have someone reach out to them.

We’re proud to be the employer of choice for people who offer assistance in emergencies both big and small.

5. They are family-oriented (pets are people too!). Our drivers work hard out on the road, but they never forget friends and family back home. And it’s common to see them bring home with them in the form of 4-legged companions, spouses, and children. Halvor Lines offers some of the most pet- and family-friendly policies in trucking. You’ll spot dogs (and an occasional cat) in our trucks. Summers you’ll often see kids with their parents (they have to be 10 or older), and you’ll find spouses, partners, and even parents riding along any time of the year.

These are just five of many, many reasons we are sending loads of love to our Halvor Lines drivers this Valentine’s Day.
