MLS “Midwest Logistics Systems”

I do see them, white day cabs, down here in MS.
I'm pretty sure they run roundtrip each day/night from
KY to Nissan in Canton, MS. They have one terminal I pass at ex 76 off I-65 in KY. That would be about a 500 mile r/t.

 

Oops! That should've been, 500 miles one way from Upton, KY to Canton, MS.

 

I know here in AL they do a lot of Honda loads

 

Everytime I run across one of their trucks, the drivers are driving like there’s no tomorrow.

 

These guys seem to be really under the gun. They pass any way and anywhere they can.

 

They run automotive freight. I know they have trucks that run Dickson Tennessee to Canton Ms and back, which is over 700 miles a day in a daycab. The trucks run about 70-72 and Nissan keeps you busy. I don’t know what they pay, but they run Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, Ohio, Louisiana and Tennessee from what I have seen.

 

They are based in Celina Ohio. Run almost exclusively auto parts. I probably see 25-30 a day running up and down I-75 . Always in a hurry and not really adhering to safe driving practices. Tailgating and multi lane changes are the most common.
They are always hammer down and yet you never see one pulled over. I've saw them fly through Cincy and Dayton at 65 or better and change lanes 5 times in 1 mile. Guess them parts are needing to get there.
Looks like the yard in Lima is about 90% Volvo. There isa large Volvo dealership at the same exit. The yard in Lima looks to have about 40 trucks.
I think the pay is flat rate and the one guy I know that works for them says the insurance is pretty good. Don't quote me,but I think the pay averages out to the high 30's per mile.
