Work-Life Balance for Milk Haulers: How Shull Transport Supports Drivers On and Off the Road

Trucking Doesn’t Have to Mean Sacrificing Your Personal Life

For many truckers, work-life balance feels like a luxury rather than a reality.

Long-haul trucking often means being away from home for weeks at a time, missing family moments, and struggling to find time to recharge.

But at Shull Transport, we believe that a successful trucking career shouldn’t come at the cost of personal time and well-being.

As a milk hauler with Shull Transport, you get the best of both worlds—steady income, structured schedules, and predictable routes that allow for more personal time and a balanced lifestyle.

Here’s how we make work-life balance a priority, not an afterthought.

No Multi-Day Hauls: Keep Your Routes Close to Home

No Multi-Day Hauls: Keep Your Routes Close to Home

Unlike long-haul trucking, where drivers can be gone for weeks, Shull Transport keeps operations within Arizona. This means no cross-country trips, allowing drivers to maintain a regular schedule and return home more frequently.

Why This Matters:

  • Consistent Routes – No unpredictable, last-minute long-haul assignments.
  • More Time at Home – Stay within Arizona and enjoy more nights in your own bed instead of a truck stop.
  • Less Stress, More Stability – Knowing your schedule ahead of time makes planning personal time easier.

What Drivers Say: “I used to spend weeks on the road, but with Shull, I have a schedule I can count on. I see my family more, and I actually feel rested between shifts.”

Structured Schedules & Predictable Time Off

Structured Schedules & Predictable Time Off

Trucking doesn’t have to mean chaotic hours and unpredictable shifts. At Shull Transport, we provide clear schedules and structured routes so drivers can plan personal time, family events, and rest days without surprises.

  • Pre-Planned Schedules – Know your workdays in advance, no last-minute dispatches.
  • Paid Time Off (PTO) – Take vacations or personal days without worrying about lost wages.
  • Regular Rest Periods – A structured schedule ensures drivers get ample recovery time between shifts.

When you know your work schedule, you can actually plan your life. Whether it’s attending your child’s soccer game or having a relaxing weekend, Shull Transport helps make it possible.

How PTO Supports Work-Life Balance:

  • Sick Leave – Stay home and recover without worrying about lost pay.
  • Personal Days – Need time for a family event? No problem.
  • Vacation Time – Take real breaks and recharge without financial stress.

What Drivers Say: “Before joining Shull, I never took time off because I couldn’t afford it. Now, I actually take vacations, knowing my paycheck won’t suffer.”

Mental & Physical Well-Being: Why Rest Matters

Mental & Physical Well-Being: Why Rest Matters

rucking can be physically demanding, and burnout is a real issue in the industry. At Shull Transport, we encourage healthy rest habits, manageable workloads, and smart scheduling to keep drivers at their best, both physically and mentally.

How We Support Driver Well-Being:

  • Rest Periods Between Shifts – Ensuring you get enough downtime.

When drivers are well-rested and healthy, they drive safer, feel better, and enjoy their jobs more.
