Do you know about Marvin Keller’s policy on personal conveyance? We allow a Driver to use up to one hour of personal conveyance. According to the FMCSA, personal conveyance is defined as the movement of a CMV for personal use while off-duty that does not benefit the company financially.
Below are some scenarios to assist with identifying appropriate PC use.
At Marvin Keller, we understand that drivers may encounter issues after our office hours. That’s why we offer an after-hours program to assist you. Our After Hours Call Center number is available to help with load-related issues, such as locating a trailer or addressing pick-up number concerns.
As most of you know, we have been working closely with the members of our After-Hours Call Center to ensure they provide the best service to you.
As a result, we have created a few After-Hour Call Scenarios to standardize our process. To help us gauge your experience, please take a moment to click on the link and answer the questions to the best of your ability. We value your feedback and look forward to hearing from you!
Just a friendly reminder that there are only 9 days left to complete both Safety and Maintenance Campaigns. Time flies, so make sure to take advantage of this opportunity before it’s too late.

GP in Shelbyville, IL is asking for our help in supplying straps for all outbound loads. This will assist with reducing the amount of damaged cases and shifted loads.
With that being said, we are personally ordering a box of straps to be delivered to GP to get started, but going forward you will need to leave 2 straps in the back of the trailer you drop off. Please try to keep 2 straps on you/in your truck at all times. Be sure when you are live unloading, that you are taking off the straps and keeping them.
Straps are an essential part of our loads and we need to ensure all loads have proper equipment to make it to delivery safely. Please call your DM with any questions.
We are needing suggestions on how to keep straps with trailers so that every trailer has straps. Please fill out this one-question survey below! We look forward to hearing from you.
Being a professional truck driver can have its hardships, no matter how much driving experience you have. That’s why we developed the Drive MK App – to make life on the road easier for you. Our app is packed with many features, including:
One of the most valuable features is the Resource Library. The Resource Library is a tool designed to help you find documents, training videos, and other resources. Whether you’re seeking assistance or want to stay up-to-date with the latest MK information, the Resource Library is an excellent place to start.
We want to acknowledge the following drivers who went above and beyond in assisting us. Your willingness to go the extra mile is greatly appreciated!
We would like to shoutout Todd Sargent for noticing a bad tire on a trailer at a lot that wasn’t his. Good eye and keep up the good work!
A huge thank you to Wes Ryden for fixing a coolant leak on his truck, as well as taking good care of rejected oil. Way to take the initiative!
Shoutout to Sean Johnson and Aaron Williams for doing a Meet & Greet to make sure we made on-time delivery. Thank you for keeping our Customers happy!
Thank you to Jimmy Hendrix for he unloaded and reworked a steel coil load. We appreciate your help on this and keeping our Customers happy!
We would like to recognize the Miller team for assisting us with some local loads before heading home. Thank you for all your help!
