In this Overdrive Radio edition, dive into parts of the awards ceremony for Overdrive's Small Fleet Championship, held Thursday, November 20. From a tribute to the great boxing and wrestling ring announcer Michael Buffer to announcement of the competition's winners, the podcast drops most importantly into a roundtable discussion with all four competition finalists.
Overdrive Radio host Todd Dills teed it up with a question: What's been your biggest business challenge of the past year or two, and what have you done to combat it/mitigate effects?
We hear here from:
**11-30-truck division Small Fleet Champ John McGee Trucking, hauling mostly out of the oilfield regionally in Simsboro, Lousiana
**11-30-truck division final round contender Holtkamp Transportation, pulling dry vans coast to coast out of West Point, Iowa.
**3-10-truck division Small Fleet Champ CAP Trucking, hauling LTL reefer out of Sanford, Florida -- regular listeners have heard owner Chris Porricelli before: https://www.overdriveonline.com/overdrive-radio/podcast/15296432/stolen-truck-freight-scam-lead-big-reevaluation-for-small-fleet
**3-10-truck division final round contender Creech Trucking, serving dairy farmers with belt trailers regionally around the Comanche, Texas home base
From equipment procurement issues to managing trade cycles and warranty work, insurance rating (including captive models), diesel prices, fuel surcharge management and more, these excellent business owners lend the benefit of their experience here.
The Small Fleet Championship recognizes excellence in small fleet businesses who’ve exhibited growth and stability after getting the start as so many fleets do, as one truck and an owner-operator with a plan for success.
As last year, the program was sponsored by the National Association of Small Trucking Companies: http://nastc.com
