We do a background check, driving history record (check) that goes back to the day they were 16. As a result of poultry, you’ve got a lot of beef and cattle growth.

Securing good employees, it is a challenge. At a large company, you’ve got multiple clerks to do all the paperwork process. You’ve got a little bit more control, having your values that you can really instill in the company and drive that through.What are the values that you want instilled at Wilson Brothers?Going back to our mission statement, our basic objective is to provide a safe workplace, for everyone to have the opportunity to work to provide for their families.

Fortunately, our turnover is less than a third of what the industry average is.One of the things that people probably don’t have a full perspective of, trucking is very heavily regulated.

We get calls of concern from other drivers about our vehicles and we handle each one of those with the utmost importance and take them very seriously. We’ve got so much to offer in this county. But the small business piece is so important because the majority of people employed are working for smaller size operations.

And for a small company, we try hard to have a pay and benefit package that can draw people in and provide for their families.Probably one of the things that sets us apart compared to the overall industry, the life of trucking is very challenging. The suddenness was the hardest part.

Now, especially with diesel fuel, it moves every day. We’ve had this great opportunity to partner and do business with one of the largest employers in the county [Mountaire Farms] now to expand our business and provide 28 additional jobs altogether, 25 drivers and a couple other support people. The company had shifted into feed manufacturing to accompany its trucking work, but when he came on board, it was trucking only.The company faced a difficult time in 2018 when Wilson’s father and cousin Michael died after a car accident during a snowstorm.“He loved working,” Jeff said about his father. Most of the trucking opportunities for people with no experience, they’ll go into a truck over the road and be gone for eight weeks, maybe 12 weeks at a time.
I think as time goes on, it’s going to become more challenging to maintain that same state of how positive it is on the consumer side for pricing because the transportation piece is becoming more and more difficult to maintain. We lost two great men and a huge void was left in our family. But it’s got to be a blend. These were regulations that not only impacted hours of service but some health initiatives, which are good things. That’s a hard life out there, that long without being able to come back and have that family time, that home time.
To me, agriculture has been a strong positive for Chatham County. Our drivers, even though they may come in with an approved medical certificate, are sent to our doctor to be qualified for what we’re doing.What is the state of the trucking industry in 2019?The state of the industry is, as a lot of the economy, pretty robust right now. The industry went through some regulatory changes in 2018 that had some impact.

Drivers are structured on how much they can drive, how long they can drive. I think they’re the backbone for providing the infrastructure and support for the larger business.As far as Chatham County, I think we’ve got a great business base. Trucking is a sideline. It’s a very highly-skilled job.We require a minimum age of 21, and right now our minimum driving experience requirement is two years. We want to serve our customers, serve them with excellent service but at the same time do so in a manner that everyone involved, as far as employees, is part of a safe operation, as well as those who come into contact around us.We influence a lot of lives in the business that we’re in because we’re out there on the road. We’re probably going to see continued increased rates. Wilson said he spends some time out on the road himself, but can be found most of the time at the company's facility in Bear Creek. I’m going to be biased in this, but agriculture has a strong presence in this county. You had some capacity that was changed due to some of that regulation. I think it’s a pretty grueling, challenging life.We’re able to provide a driver an opportunity to drive that shift and come home mostly at the same time every day and have that home time, have the family time. Diesel fuel is one of the first pieces that’s refined out of crude oil, yet it’s more expensive.How do you sell people on entering trucking as a career?We’re trying to provide an environment for people to work safely, to do so at a competitive wage and benefit.
