***LJ KENNEDY IS A COMPANY WITH AN ELITE GROUP OF DRIVERS***

These words are written for the top 20% of America's tractor-trailer drivers. (Because those are the only drivers we'll hire).

Look, there is only room for one flatbed carrier at the top of the mountain. One setter of the standard for excellence. And that is the spot that L.J. Kennedy occupies.

Let other trucking companies make growth their measure of success. We don't care, and our drivers don't care. We're different. Our goal is simple: to be America's most respected, and admired, flatbed carrier. The carrier with the most respected and admired drivers.

We're not interested in bigness for the sake of bigness. Or settling for second-best. Our drivers won't settle for less than the best. Same as the generations of L.J. Kennedy drivers that came before them. Excellence is a tradition at L.J. Kennedy. Always has been. Always will be.

In every field there are leaders and there are followers. It takes courage to lead. To go your own way. To resist the lure to conform. To listen to the voice within you that tells you to do what is right, not what is easy. To push yourself to excel, when others have given up and given in.

Our drivers understand our philosophy of excellence. After all, they maintain the same standard in their own lives, personally and professionally.

We promise you this -- it won't be easy. Flatbed hauling never has been easy. Never will be. Being the best never is. But think of the rewards and you'll understand what it means to be an L.J. Kennedy driver.

It's all about pride. Pride in a job well done. If you understand what we're talking about, you need to call us. Get the facts -- they'll lead you to L.J. Kennedy. If you're good enough, you'll soon know the feeling that comes from being a valued member of an elite team.
