Honor and Integrity

Honor and Integrity

Today these words are often times forgotten and believed to be antiquated. Our society believes that you should be able to do whatever you want regardless if it is honorable and has integrity. The Independent Carrier Group shall operate with honor and integrity. If we fail to operate with honor and integrity than we are just more of the problem instead of the solution.

Operating with honor brings respect, dignity, and distinction to an individual. Integrity means having a sound judgment and operating in honesty. Integrity also means being whole, undiminished, as well as having a sound, unimpaired, and perfect condition. This is why I believe that the Independent Carrier Group should and will operate under the banner of Freedom with Integrity.

Let us look at what we consider to be honorable for our industry as a whole, instead of just ourselves. Let us check our individual pride at the door when functioning as a group to better the integrity of our industry. Let us learn the power of integrity by making the right decisions even when our society as a whole thinks we are odd for doing so. I have found that honor and integrity will overcome a lot of objections from others.

We need to evaluate not only ourselves but others in our industry as well. Do we believe that most shippers, brokers, receivers, carriers, are currently operating with honor and integrity?

Honorable criteria:

Shipper, Broker, Receiver:

Offers fair to good rate

Pays their bills in a timely fashion

Pays accessorials when agreed as required

Treats carriers and their drivers with dignity and respect

Does not expect more than they agreed to

Carrier:

Hauls for a fair to good rate

Picks up and delivers as agreed upon

Wins accounts with service not price

Pays operators (drivers) a fair wage for their services
