When drivers talk about why they’ve stayed with a company, they’re usually talking about more than miles and pay.
They’re talking about how they’re treated.
Recently, one of our team drivers, James & Shayna, celebrated their one-year anniversary with Kennesaw Transportation. They shared a message with our team that perfectly captures the culture we’ve worked to build for more than 45 years.
“Here’s to our one-year anniversary with this wonderful company! Thank you for the outstanding support. For the open-door discussions and the extra time, you’ve taken to get us down the road. And most of all, thank you for the extraordinary opportunity to train our son. What a blessing! James and I are proud to be a part of this work family. You have treated us with respect and care the whole way. (And, you helped us make a lot of money 😊).”
As a family-owned trucking company, stories like this remind us why we do what we do.
A Culture Built on Respect
The trucking industry is demanding. Drivers spend weeks away from home, navigate changing road conditions, and shoulder tremendous responsibility every day.
That’s why we believe respect shouldn’t stop once orientation is over.
Whether it’s an open-door conversation, support from dispatch, help from maintenance, or simply taking the time to listen, our goal is to make sure every driver knows they have a team behind them.
When James & Shayna wrote, “You have treated us with respect and care the whole way,” it reinforced something we’ve believed since 1981:
People come before trucks.
Relationships matter.
And drivers deserve to work for a company that values them as individuals—not just truck numbers.
Great Pay Starts with Great Support
One line in their message made us smile:
”…you helped us make a lot of money.”
While it’s a lighthearted comment, it speaks to something every professional driver is looking for—consistent opportunities to earn.
At Kennesaw Transportation, we know that competitive pay isn’t just about cents per mile. It’s also about having dependable freight, reliable equipment, efficient operations, and a support team committed to keeping drivers moving.
When those pieces come together, drivers have the opportunity to maximize both their miles and their income.
We’re proud that many of our experienced drivers build long-term careers here because they know they can count on consistent work and a company that’s invested in their success.
Investing in the Next Generation
Perhaps the most meaningful part of James & Shayna’s message wasn’t about miles or money.
It was this:
“Thank you for the extraordinary opportunity to train our son.”
That sentence represents something bigger than one family.
It represents passing knowledge, experience, and professionalism from one generation of drivers to the next.
Professional trucking is built on mentorship. Experienced drivers help shape the future of the industry by teaching safe driving habits, professionalism, and what it means to take pride in the job.
Being trusted to play a small role in that journey is an honor we don’t take lightly.
More Than a Job
At Kennesaw Transportation, we don’t just want drivers to apply.
We want them to build careers.
For more than four decades, we’ve remained family-owned because we believe lasting relationships are worth investing in. That means supporting drivers through challenges, celebrating milestones, and creating an environment where people genuinely enjoy coming to work.
When drivers describe Kennesaw as a “work family,” that’s one of the highest compliments we can receive.
Here’s to Many More Miles
Congratulations to James & Shayna on celebrating one year with Kennesaw Transportation.
Thank you for your hard work, professionalism, and the trust you’ve placed in our team. We’re grateful you’re part of the Kennesaw family and look forward to celebrating many more anniversaries together.
If you’re looking for a trucking company that values respect, offers competitive earning opportunities, and believes in investing in its drivers, we’d love to show you the Kennesaw difference.
