However, we have three reasons why family owned trucking companies are for you.   **1. You Can Be Yourself** We have all heard it before, "You're a name but not just your truck number." While cliche, it's a true statement. Family owned trucking companies tend to be smaller. When the company is smaller, you get to be on a first name basis instead of truck number 107,904.
