Do you know the difference between a private fleet and a for-hire fleet? It’s difficult to know which one you should work for until you know the pros and cons of each and you can compare the two. As the vice president of recruiting at Anderson Trucking Service, I’ll explain the difference between the two types of fleets in this video.
A private fleet is a company’s in-house fleet of trucks that generally hauls the company’s goods. They specifically haul from warehouses to stores.
A for-hire fleet is a fleet that provides transportation of goods and property to a shipper. They provide tractors, trailers and drivers to the shippers.
Tune in to the video to find out which fleet has better pay, better benefits and better freight options.
When you’re making your decision between the two types of fleets, be sure to consider your needs and wants. Make a list and then compare that list to what each company offers.
