Growth and driver pay benefit as Golden Rule shines at John McGee Trucking

John McGee of Simsboro, Louisiana, began driving truck in 1985, buying his first one and going into business for himself six years later. He got his start hauling for a brother-in-law’s logging business in the North-Central part of the state, where he’s lived his entire life. Then oil field work in his area started picking up around 2004 and he leased to an oil-services hauler. The company sold out in 2010. “When he did that, I acquired some of his customer base the new company didn’t want,” McGee said. He got his authority and has been running John McGee Trucking ever since.
