Truck drivers can’t read emails while rolling down the road behind the wheel of multi-ton vehicle, but that’s how Ricky Murray got his loads prior to joining Pittsburg-based JLE Industries. Often by the time he was able to read the email, he had lost out on the load.
As a driver at JLE, Murray is able to select his own loads through the company’s DriverOS app – something he likens to being a kid in a candy store getting to pick his poison.

JLE highlights its Angel Coker
Murray said JLE is the only company he has worked for that allows its drivers to pick their loads, adding the DriverOS app is among the top five reasons he said he remains at JLE, calling it a tool that makes his life easier. "It’s a lot more efficient than anyone else I’ve ever dealt with," he said. It's part of JLE's commitment to "provide an elite experience for our Trade Professional Flatbed Talent through people, process and technology."
