Truck drivers in general (or so the story goes), get asked a
lot on why they drive truck for a living.
Different people have different
answers, but the truth is that there are parts of the job that everyone loves
and hates (like any other career).
Let’s look at some pros and cons of what a few drivers have
thrown out over the years:
- You’re not stuck in an office all day, but you are stuck in a truck all day.
- You get to see the country, but you don’t get to enjoy it. Working…not vacation.
- Weather, but then there is weather. You take the good with the bad.
- You get to catch up on emails and beating that level of Candy Crush, but that’s because you are waiting for hours upon hours whenever you stop.
Look…
We can go on for days about the ups and downs of driving a
semi…aka the big rig…but we already know all of this, or at least have an idea.
The question is…
Why did Josh leave his career as a truck driver with a great
company to go it alone in a world that is over-saturated with transportation
companies?
Talk about being a small fish in a big pond.
First of all Josh isn’t alone…
- He has Shannon (Josh’s wife and co-owner)
- He has his family (this is truly a family business)
- He has his faith and love for God
- He has his friends
- He has other businesses that he partners with
There are lots of reasons that Josh and Shannon started BICO
Transportation. There are lots of reasons that Josh quit driving for another
company and started driving for himself.
We’re not going to go into any of those reasons…EXCEPT for
one.
The biggest reason…
The reason that BICO is successfully swimming with the big
fish…
And that reason is…
BICO does what no other company will do.
Which is what?
Putting the customer first, and saying YES when everyone
else says no.
As a driver for another company, Josh met people all of the
time that had large and unique projects that had to be moved, but he couldn’t
help them. He could give the people suggestions, but that was about it.
Josh knew that certain companies would move the unique…the
one-offs…for a ridiculously high cost, but the trick was finding a company that
would do it in the first place. There was a gap in service.
And…
From that gap in the industry…
BICO was created.
There are NO one-offs in BICO’s world, because “if there is
a will there’s a way”, and every day BICO hauls loads that others shy away
from.
And they do it for a fraction of the cost.
How?
Because BICO was built around that market gap, and will move
anything within their legal limits.
Meaning…
That the company was started with a YES concept.
If there is a need…BICO will find a way.
Josh loves the challenge of moving something that no one
else would dare to attempt… it must keep his mind sharp because he doesn’t give
up.
So…
Whatever you have to move…
The “normal” or the “abnormal”…
Give BICO a call and we’ll beat the “other guys”…in customer
service, cost, time, or in just saying yes…
…or sometimes in all of the above…
BICO is your company.
We do it because no one else will.
