Ohio Driver Theodore Landry Finds Home with Boyd Bros.
Youngstown, Ohio, is a far cry from Clayton, Alabama, but for Theodore Landry, who calls Youngstown home, the success and reputation of Boyd Bros. Transportation is something he experiences right in his own backyard. Five years ago, Landry realized it was time to make a career change, and he didn’t have to look far for a company that offered him the pay, benefits and driving lanes to make a great living. Boyd Bros. was his obvious choice and Landry is not shy in saying he wishes he had driven for the company his entire thirty-plus year career.
“Boyd Bros. offers a lot of things many other companies don’t,” said Landry. “I get the lanes I need to get home on the weekends and have even reached one million safe miles with the company. I have a great life here at Boyd.”
Driving trucks is what Landry has always wanted to do and finding a balance between work and home has been difficult. He says the best thing about driving for the company is that he can make a great living and get the miles he needs while getting to see his family regularly. Plus, he was able to attend orientation classes close to home at Boyd’s Cincinnati terminal. He looked at many carriers after deciding to switch, but the support, equipment, and lifestyle Boyd offered this Ohio driver was the best he could find.
Landry believes the Clayton, Alabama-based company definitely knows how to treat its drivers. “At Boyd, I’m more than just a truck number. My fleet manager recognizes my voice when I call, and with a company terminal in Cincinnati, I’m never far away from getting the help I need. This is one of the many reasons why I’m going to stay here until I retire.”
When at home, Landry enjoys helping his church, watching movies and television, and spending time with his fiancée. A wedding planned for the near future is currently his main focus.
New drivers to Boyd may be eligible to receive up to a $2,500 sign-on bonus when joining the company. Extensive freight lanes, great pay, and comprehensive health benefits will help make the transition easy. Drivers will also enjoy impressive and well-maintained equipment. For over 50 years, the company has maintained a proven record of valuing, trusting, and respecting each member of their driving team while building quality and lasting relationships. Just ask any one of their 100-plus million mile drivers or the many successful lease drivers who, with Boyd, have reached their goal of owning their own truck.
