At Tradewinds I feel like part of a family from owners and office personnel, to drivers and shop personnel. I also think teamwork is very important because it takes a team working together in this industry to be successful. Tradewinds is first rate I'd recommend to any driver.

This company guys is for us, the drivers. Forget all the negative talk if you hear any and bring your knowledge and your experience to Tradewinds. Truth is guys, if you know how to run (not drive but run), and with this operations team having your back, I guarantee you will reap the benefits of your efforts. Run hard. Run long. Makes for good paychecks.
