Paschall Truck Lines Honors March Award Winners

Paschall Truck Lines (PTL) congratulates the winners of the March 2005 Company Driver and Owner Operator of the Month Awards. Samuel Maier is the Company Driver of the Month and Albert and Ida White are the Owner Operators of the Month.

Samuel Maier has been driving for PTL for over ten years. In his professional driving career of 12 years, Maier has concentrated on driving in the Midwest and Gulf Coast. He recently won a 1,200,000 mile safety award at PTL, but says the most exciting experience was being named Driver of the Month.

Maier is an avid Nascar fan. When not on the road, he enjoys sport shooting and fishing. When asked about driving, Maier said, “For the most part, the job is grinding away the long, sometimes boring hours on the road. Thank God for AM/FM radio.”

Albert and Ida White have been married for 17 years. Their career on the road together has lasted over five years and the couple worked at several companies before choosing PTL. The Whites were previously named Drivers of the Month and Drivers of the Year. Albert has completed 900,000 safe miles and Ida has completed 800,000.

The team shared an unusual yet scary experience. Ida was driving in Virginia when a tornado crossed over the interstate about a mile in front of them. “Everyday brings a new experience,” the couple says.

At home, the Whites go boating and trail riding on ATVs with their nephews and nieces. They hope to build a dream home in Ruidoso, New Mexico.

PTL provides driving opportunities for solos, teams and owner operators. The company offers a competitive pay package, including a $3,000 sign on bonus for company drivers and owner operators. PTL also offers the best fuel surcharge in the industry along with a fuel bonus, incentives to run in New York City and Canada, guaranteed home time and no loading or unloading.
