Reminiscent of the days when men packed lunches and headed out to earn a day's living by the sweat of their brow, Louisiana Transportation Inc. (LTI) offers its owner-operators a living that is bound to get them a little dirty but pay off with staggering rewards.
Oil continues to be one of the most necessary and utilized natural resources in America today. LTI, a subsidiary of USTI, is headquartered in Houston, Texas, the energy capital of the country, and though the company also hauls some dry van, flatbed and heavy haul, the primary operations surround the energy sector and service the south (most specifically, Texas and Louisiana). Owner-operators for the company are rugged and ready to throw chains, straps, tarp loads and be involved in the loading, unloading and transport of necessary components for a successful drilling operation: oil field pipe, machinery, towers and other oil equipment. They’re in and out of the Texas ports, helping to support the drilling operations offshore, and throughout many locations across the country where transportation needs and energy service meet. So look into one of the opportunities afforded our contractors and partner with a leader in the energy sector for transportation services.
The work isn't for the weak; the payoff not for the unambitious. And when you work for this 100 percent owner-operator company, you’ll reap more than just financial rewards. Mike Whitaker, President of LTI, believes in knowing every employee, the name of each driver, and believes in maintaining a personal touch with all. Clearly it's an atmosphere owner-operators appreciate, as evidenced by one of the lowest turnover rates in the industry and the 20 percent increase in fleet size in 2011, thanks also in part to increased need, more loads to haul, more work to be done...all equating to more money.
