Demand for trucking goes into overdrive
I don’t know if anyone could have forecasted Russia invading Ukraine or the fallout that would ensue. We have spent the last few weeks reeling over the prices for over-the-road truck rates. Rates that were good last week are not high enough this week. Fuel prices...
Trucking demand remains high – looking at record quarter
Christmas and New Year’s are behind us, and we hope you all had a great holiday season. I know we are excited for the new year to come. With a new COVID variant in the news, it appears we are starting the year with a surge. The omicron variant seems to be less severe...

Satisfaction Guaranteed
“I have worked with Jose at Samson Logistics for two years and it has truly been a blessing. I love that he typically answers the phone on the first ring. If I didn’t have his cell number, I don’t know what I would do because I text him almost daily for updates and to place orders. Thank you Samson Logistics for all that you do and we look forward to working with you in the future.”

Yes, I needed better options for my trucking woes but typically a cold call is questionable around here. I took a chance that day and we have been using his services weekly ever since. We could not recommend his company enough and hope you will take a chance like I did that day.”
“Hemos utilizado Samson Logistics para todas nuestras cargas durante los últimos tres años. Agradecemos el servicio rápido y que la oficina hable español. Los recomendamos siempre que podamos a nuestros clientes y socios.“
