Birmingham , AL – Timothy Downs has been driving for CRST Malone for 21 years, which encompasses his entire career as a professional driver. “I started with Malone after I had 6 months OTR experience and have been here ever sense. As an Independent Contractor I could not think of any other company I would want to drive for. Without the right carrier, it is almost impossible to succeed.” In addition to unmatched contractor support, CRST Malone partners do not have to compete with company trucks for freight. The fleet is 100% Owner Operator.

 

“ 2 million miles of safe driving is a huge accomplishment! Timothy really personifies what a CRST Malone Owner Operator is” says Sherry Bass, Vice President of Capacity Development. “We treat our drivers like professionals, and they act like professionals. Malone produces safe, responsible, and hard working drivers! This is an easy formula for success.”

CRST Malone works hard to keep the opportunities they offer the best in the business. “Our contractors are averaging $1.77 per loaded mile – plus 100% fuel surcharge which is running at .30 cpm today,” says Bass. She goes on to point out that CRST Malone contractors enjoy twice-weekly settlements and non-forced dispatch. Malone also offers contractors major medical insurance and business services designed to improve they way drivers operate their business.

We are trying to hold net fuel costs between $1-$1.25 per gallon for our independent contractor. With many other companies
