Culture & About WEL Companies We’ve built an entire trucking family based on our core values – put people first, explore possibilities, lead the way, and in it together. It’s a culture that starts with family ownership and reaches across WEL Companies, from new truck drivers to warehouse workers to shop tractor and trailer technicians to office staff. We then elevate that positive base that enhance lifestyles and drive loyalty from top to bottom.
Communication. Relationships. Accessibility. When your part of the WEL Companies team, you’re treated like family. Many trucking companies do a decent job with logistics, technology, and compensation. We can do all that, and more … because the value of a positive, supportive open‑door culture is priceless.
