Most Carriers Make Good Drivers Want To Leave The Industry
You’ve been promised home time that never materializes. You’ve called dispatch and gotten no answer. You’ve watched newer drivers get attention while you — the one who’s been running hard and running clean — get taken for granted.
You’ve dealt with equipment that should have been in the shop six months ago. You’ve sat in a breakdown lane wondering if anyone at the company was going to pick up. You’ve been told “we’re like family here” by a recruiter and then treated like a number the moment you signed.
A driver with your experience and your record deserves better than that. The question isn’t whether a better situation exists. It does. The question is whether you’re willing to make the call and find out if Bellavance is it.
And maybe that isn’t your story at all. Maybe you haven’t had any of those experiences — you’re just a driver who knows what matters to you and is looking for a company that actually delivers it. Either way, you’d fit right in here.
“I’m happy I switched to this company. Pay and equipment are terrific compared to my last place of employment. My children are happy to have me home weekly.”
— paul · Van/Reefer Driver
What driving for Bellavance actually looks like
Built For Drivers.
Not TRUCK Numbers.
No bait-and-switch. No promises that evaporate after your first week. Here’s what you get from day one.
Picture a paycheck that doesn’t lowball your worth. Picture also getting paid for the hours spent at the dock — not just the miles you ran. Picture pulling into your driveway every week, on the night you were told.
That’s not a recruiting pitch. That’s a regular week at Bellavance.
“Once I get in on Friday and get handed my stone load, I pretty much set my own schedule for the rest of the week.”
— Dave · Flatbed Driver, 30 years with Bellavance

Don’t Take Our Word For It. Take Theirs.
“I basically started my trucking career seven years ago with absolutely zero experience. They gave me the shot right out of the gate, and that plays a role in my dedication to the company. I was ecstatic the day I got the call. It was basically a dream come true.“
“I have worked with two major trucking companies and the experience with them wasn’t an intimate relationship — too many chains of command to go through. I was looking for something more family oriented. When I came in, that was a selling point and I was hooked.“
“I’m able to not only talk to everybody in the company who knows me by my first name, but I was also able to talk to the owner — and he is down to earth. When I see that the owner and everybody else is down to earth, that did it for me.“
“Talking with Krissy in the interview, I felt like she was listening to me. That really meant a lot. After that I was surprised by how quickly I was set to task — they put a lot of trust and faith in me.”
“Bellavance is willing to take a chance on drivers, and I don’t think a lot of companies do that. You don’t feel like a number, you have a name and a personality. I’ve realized people stay here for decades.“
“I went to Bellavance and told them I’ve had my CDL for 12 years but have absolutely no experience. They put me with an experienced driver and had the patience to deal with me through the learning pains. I remember that — it left a lasting impression.“
“Three years in, this is probably what I’ll be doing until they take me off to the truck driver’s old folks home.”
“Working with Bellavance — the dispatchers, the maintenance crew, the office personnel — each and every one of them I’ve had nothing but a great experience with. We get to know each other by our first names.”
“There are many times I’ve come back to the yard angry or upset because of the day I had. But I fuel up, park the truck, walk in, and they actually make me smile and feel better after a long day on the road.“
“I really have no complaints. They do treat you like family when something comes up. I don’t feel like a number out here. If I have something going on I just communicate it with them and they try to make it happen. I do feel as though I am part of their family, they very much treat you like family.“
The Kind Of Company Drivers Actually Stay At
Bellavance has been in operation since 1957 — three generations of family leadership. That kind of longevity doesn’t happen by treating drivers badly. Drivers who join and find that Bellavance operates the way it says it does tend to stay. And they refer the drivers they respect most.

“I feel like I’ve had my experience and the way I do things tailored to me on the office side. They tend to understand how drivers operate and work toward continuing their goals.”
“My favorite part is that to a certain degree I am my own boss. I tell people all the time I have the best office view in the world.“
“If I have any issue they resolve it right away. They put down whatever they’ve got going on in the shop and get the driver back up and running as quick as possible.“
“A friend of mine came to work for Bellavance and convinced me to come up and give them a try. I did, and the rest is history.“
“I chose Bellavance because of the home time they offer. It’s a smaller company, family owned — not a big corporation that’s a headache to work for.“
“The equipment is well maintained, dispatch keeps me loaded, and when I need something taken care of, they take care of it. They keep me rolling, and that’s good.“
