Testimonials - Ask a Buchheit Team Member!
Here is what some of our team members have to say:
“I have worked for Buchheit for over 5 years. I have enjoyed my time driving for them in their van division. Buchheit Logistics treats you like family – not a number. You are home almost every weekend, and I get great miles. I average about 3000 miles a week! It is a great company to work for, and I hope to meet some new drivers soon.”
– Tom Tinnin, Company Driver
“The reason I like working at Buchheit is they are a well-established, solid foundation, family-oriented trucking company. Not only do they conduct business at the highest industry standards, they also care about their drivers as well – both professionally and personally. The management and office personnel are also top shelf, second to none and always willing to help no matter the reason. I am just thankful to be part of a growing company! In today’s economy and society, that means a lot.”
– Dan Felchlia, Independent Contractor
