Wonder What’s Next???
Fall is here and what a doozy it has been so far. From port strikes to hurricanes in the first three weeks of Autumn, there is no telling what the rest of this year is going to look like. We all might want to keep our fingers crossed that the good Lord doesn't unleash...
Driver Appreciation Week!!
As you probably are aware, Truck Driver Appreciation Week is next week. We are abundantly thankful for each and every one of you out on the road for us. Without you, we would not be here. It may sound cliche, but we think driver appreciation week should be every week....
State of the Union
♫ School's Back in Session ♫ - read in your best Alice Cooper voice. My kids went back to school this week so life is a different kind of crazy now. It reminds me a lot about this freight market we have been in for way too long now. Lots of action and never a dull...

March Madness is right around the corner! Even if you aren't a sports fan, there are many things you can enjoy this time of year. Daylight Savings Time gives us later daylight to enjoy and the first day of Spring truly signals that warmer weather and longer days are...
Planning – McLeod Express

January McLeod Express Newsletter
Welcome to 2024! Remember when we partied like it was 1999? I can't believe that was 25 years ago. In 1999, McLeod Express was just 13 years old and we still ran our business out of Assumption, IL. Our current terminal in Decatur was established in 2002. The Lafayette...
