Brian Etchison

The allure of McClendon's owner/operator program is its simplicity, says Brian Etchison, McClendon's assistant vice president for driver development.We have a noÐnonsense approach to what we offer our owner/operators, he says.

...
The company also offers an 8.5 centÐperÐmile per diem that Etchison says allows approximately 25 percent of the drivers' miles to be taxÐfree.That provides drivers with a larger paycheck than they would get from many of our competitors, who may be compensating at the same rate per mile, he explains.ShortÐhaul compensation pays as much as 20 cents more per mile.

...
It adds up to satisfied drivers, Etchison says Ñ the average tenure for a driver at McClendon is four years.
...
We want to accommodate and satisfy the driver's need because, as we say around here, ÔMcClendon is a mediumÐsized company with a small company feel, " Etchison adds.The McClendons are principled people who care about their drivers..
