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.
