VanWyk is a great family based operation with three terminals across the Mid-West region. I get home weekly if I want and paid every Friday and always on time. The trucks are Kenworth and Volvo’s all of which are 2017 or newer. Reefer trailers are swapped every two to three years as well. We have chosen to operate on a percentage basis instead of mileage and can even choose the salary range that you want to make each year. Dispatch is on top of the game and has always come through for me no matter if I want to take one day off or three days off. They will push you hard to achieve your income goals but will always Stand down if you insist. All loads are no-touch refrigerated and you get free meals and hotels when at the Sheldon, Iowa terminal for service or paperwork. We transport ice cream to frozen meats to soda pop.
Pros
Family oriented with plenty of home time when you want it.
Cons
Unfortunately no APU’S in the trucks
Equipment and Maintenance
