ATTA Boy Truckway NationaLease

Ken Tirone and Annmarie Hurley from Hub Truck NationaLease both wrote in to tell us a great ATTA Boy about Truckway NationaLease. Ken wrote, “On February 5, 2014, we had a brand new Volvo tandem axle sleeper traveling through Columbus, OH during a winter snow storm. At a sudden moment, the weather conditions and other sliding vehicles warranted our truck to turn itself into a sled and slide off and down an 80’ embankment totaling out this fine piece of machinery. Lucky for everyone, no one was hurt except the tractor and trailer. After a $12,000 recovery and tow to the local funeral yard, we called on the assistance of Truckway NationaLease to help us out with an emergency rental so our driver could return to Long Island, NY. The Truckway staff, especially Walt Nickells, was helpful in every way and had our driver back on the road within six hours of the accident. Our goal was obvious; return the Truckway tractor ASAP to avoid daily charges but Mother Nature and our customer had different ideas which had to be dealt with. Finally this week, we set up to make the “Bob Tail” return and fly home routine a reality. Again, we called on Truckway for help in assisting our driver when he arrives in getting over to the airport by whatever means available. Well, I could have expected a ride to the airport but Truckway took it to another level by driving our employee over to the hotel for a good night’s sleep then returning the next morning to pick our man up at 5:30AM and bring him to the airport which was one mile away. This really blew me away. You know the saying “home away from home”? The staff at Truckway made the people at Hub feel right at home.” Thanks Truckway NationaLease for a great job!
