Horizon Independent Contactor Accomplishes 1,000,000 Miles on the Road

There is an independent contractor at CR England named Seth Clark. At age 36, he sounds just like a lot of other guys out there. Loves time with his family, wants to make a good future for himself and them, and is a hard worker to do just that.



Seth stands out because he just hit 1,000,000 miles with CR England as a Lease Driver, after only 3 ½ years. He did this by a life long attitude. “Always moving forward.” He believes that there is no reason to stop when not at home. A successful driver keeps on moving at all times. Seth Clark is a humble man and gives credit to everyone but himself for this successful mark in his career.



So, where does a driver go, once they hit one million miles? For Seth, it is to manage a fleets and branch into other related trucking fields.



The best experience he has ever had on the road is making the money. He loves making the money that an independent contractor makes with CR England. But he also likes giving trainees the opportunity to turn their lives around. For him, it’s a great feeling to help people who need a new start in life. Get them back on their feet and drive for success.



Seth also stands out of the crowd for his caring of other human beings. His advice for new drivers is to be on time, make more friends than enemies, and most importantly, to remember that successes or failures are your own. That is really great input for anyone, let alone the drivers he mentors. Trainees are lucky to have him as a coach.

Fleet Owner Succeeds and Passes on his Knowledge

Here is a real quick story about what we'd like to call "Four Trucks and Bigger Dreams." This story is about a fantastic driver, entrepreneur, and business man. This story sounds a lot like the beginnings of many trucking companies.

Mark Weatherill wants to make enough money to travel, enjoy life, be charitable with his extra money, and invest in more trucks to make even more money. Mark is a man that enjoys fast cars, skiing, sports, and biking. He likes to take care of himself and is driven to succeed.

His latest accomplishment was starting his very own fleet with 4 trucks. How did he get to this point in 2 ½ years? By studying what was available, using CR England Programs like Equinox to teach him how to run a business and to do the accounting, and the bottom line and toughest part, hard work. He believes success comes through paying close attention to the little details. No daydreaming or as he puts it “lollygagging”. Mark states: “Focus on what you are taught and don’t allow yourself to have distractions.”

From the time Mark Weatherill gets in the morning to the time he goes to bed, he is dedicated to succeeding. He trains his drivers to achieve something and follow his lead. He knows that a good role model will help them succeed by accomplishing a level of skill that they can be successful at.

When helping drivers get their CDL license, he trains on his own truck. There are no distractions such as the radio or phones and away he goes. He takes it seriously and does what it takes for his students to succeed. As part of his passion, he appreciates the finished project of a successful driver.

While reaching his dreams as a driver, he helps others to reach their dreams as well. Focusing on succeeding himself as well as the success of others is what he wants.
