Today, I’m going to change gears and write about FW Logistics. It’s a trucking company and warehouse in Centreville, IL. It opened in 1949 as just the warehouse with local truck drivers. They store things for companies that pay to keep their stock and merchandise with them.
In 2012, they started the over-the-road part of the company. They now have 13 drivers who haul anything from cat litter to plastic buckets to beer loads, all over the United States.
My friend is one of these drivers. He’s been with the company for 5 years. A typical week for him has him heading out Sunday afternoon or early Monday morning. Then, he’s usually home by Friday so he’s home with his family for the weekends.
When he weighs out his loads at a truck stop, he gets me Trucking Trading Cards and postcards from different states he’s been to. I have cards from Wyoming, Utah, Kansas, Nebraska and Baltimore. But, he’s been to Texas, Arizona, Ohio, Pennsylvania, basically everywhere.
FW has a warehouse where businesses store their goods until they need them. It’s a good company with good pay and great home time for the drivers.
Keep On Truckin'
