The trucking sector sees multiple generations from a single-family pass through a company, building a legacy of their own. Specifically, at The Erb Group of Companies, you\u2019ll see multiple family members working across our terminal network. At our Baden terminal, Brianna and her dad Jeff are an example of a multi-generational trucking family. Jeff started working at Erb in 2003 and has been with the company for 19 years as an owner-operator cross-border driver. Once his oldest, Hailey, was ready to jump into her first job, he recommended that she start at Erb doing part-time work. Hailey worked for a few years as a Weekend Prior Notice Clerk. In 2015, Hailey was ready for her next chapter, which was moving away for college. To replace Hailey, Jeff suggested his youngest daughter, Brianna.<\/p>\n

Brianna started working for the company in 2015 and is still working with us today on a part-time basis. The 23-year-old works full-time for a daycare in Baden during the week. \u201cIt was my first full-time job, and the team has continued to be so accommodating as I balance my ECE work with my weekend hours.\u201d Brianna is responsible for setting up customs paperwork for LTL drivers, making sure they have entry numbers to ensure drivers have a smooth cross-border experience. While Brianna is in the office, her dad is out on the road. \u201cMy dad is normally gone two to three nights a week. Since he\u2019s been with Erb for quite some time, he can pick and choose his routes. I think he likes being on the road but only goes as far as Michigan.\u201d Trucking doesn\u2019t stop with Jeff and his two daughters. Brianna also has one uncle working as a truck driver and another working as a mechanic technician at other trucking companies.<\/p>\n

Fond trucking memories<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The O\u2019Neill family has many fond memories throughout the years. Brianna recalls, \u201cWhen I was younger, I wanted to be a truck driver. I used to play with his diecast trucks, but not the fancy ones. Dad wouldn\u2019t let me touch those! I also used to play the virtual transport truck simulators.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember vividly going on trips with him and sleeping in the bunk. Sometimes the terrain wasn\u2019t the most pleasant, but it was still fun that I got to spend time with him.\u201d She continues, \u201cwhen you have a dad as a truck driver, you understand that he may not always be home. But when he was home, you have vivid memories of those times. I remember him at my soccer games and dance recitals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jeff explains, \u201cI\u2019ve always had my girls\u2019 names on my truck since 1999. It\u2019s something most truckers do. Keep our family members close to us even if they aren\u2019t. Every time I buy a different truck or get a paint job, I include their name decals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Community-driven<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Erb Group of Companies has 1,500 employees across its terminal network<\/a>. Brianna describes Erb as a big company with a small town feel and culture. \u201cEven Vernon\u2019s passing hit home for us, but especially for my dad. He was so accommodating to my dad over the years. We attended the convoy for Vernon at their family home. He was such a positive light at the company. I still remember Vernon coming in on Saturday\u2019s ahead of going to the farm. He had a calming presence, especially on the days that were really busy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Attracting the next generation<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a Gen Z in the transportation industry, Brianna shared her insights on how trucking companies can better attract the next generation. She explains, \u201cI think the trucking industry needs more attention and recognition. When people think of a truck driver, they always think it\u2019s long periods away from home. But there are so many drivers that just operate within Ontario. These drivers are equally as important to someone who drives the distance to California. You can still be a truck driver and make it home at night and raise a family. The stereotype is that you are never home, but you can be.\u201d<\/p>\n
