Testimonials from Owner Operators at Daily Express

More money, a little more work . . . This is what I love. I love doing equipment. You’ve gotta think all the time. How to secure it, especially going down the road, watching everything. You’re not just sitting there, holding the wheel.

We’ll help teach you how to haul some of the biggest loads you’ve ever hauled and make good money doing it. When any new contractor comes to work here, they can call us at any time to ask proper procedures... whether they’re using chains or straps.

I started hauling the smaller stuff. They’d haul the big cranes and I’d haul the parts for it, and it just progressed and progressed. Daily took me up one level at a time. They made sure I was ready before I touched anything bigger or heavier.
